Brock Lesnar experienced an infamously scary moment during WrestleMania 19 when he failed to execute a shooting star press.
On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash described his initial reaction to the incident.
Lesnar faced Kurt Angle at the 1995 pay-per-view event and attempted the aerial maneuver but could not rotate correctly and landed on his head.
Nash recounted being at the event and initially believing that Lesnar had fatally injured himself.
Nash said, “I’ll never forget when we were in Seattle and Brock and Kurt Angle had that match. And Kurt was like half in the middle of the ring and then take him and move him another half to the corner and Brock’s in the far, far turnbuckle and he sets him and he realizes he’s way too far. And Brock just says ‘F**k it.’”
He continued, “And Brock — yeah, I thought Brock killed himself. He didn’t even f**king sell it.”
Despite the botch, Lesnar managed to defeat Angle in an improvised finish.
