Botched: Brock Lesnar hits Shooting Star Press at WrestleMania 19

Brock Lesnar got an early push in WWE right from his debut where and received many opportunities to showcase his skills. At WrestleMania 19, Brock Lesnar competed in a match against Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship.

It was an intense battle, and both superstars fought fiercely as they looked to get the upper hand. As the regular moves didn’t seem enough, they tried unorthodox maneuvers.

‘The Next Big Thing’ tried to deliver ‘Shooting Star Press’, but landed on his neck. For a while, fans thought he might not survive the landing, but he got up and deliver the F-5 to win. After the match, Lesnar was mad and refused a medical checkup. However, after a lot of convincing from other superstars and management, he agreed to do so.
