On March 30, 2003, Brock Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle to win the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 19.
During the match, Lesnar climbed to the top rope and botched a Shooting Star Press on Angle, which The Olympian covered for by pinning The Beast for a two-count.
During The Kurt Angle Show, 13-time World Champion Kurt Angle recalled his legendary title match to reveal that Lesnar almost broke his neck with the botched move. He said,
“Besides the actual finish, that match was pretty damn close to being one of the greatest matches of all time. I mean, besides the issue that Brock actually missed the Shooting Star Press and landed on his head, you know, almost broke his neck. But, at the same time, that was such an incredible WrestleMania moment that people remember that forever. So that spot right there in WrestleMania 19 actually made the match better because people remember it.”
