WWE: 10 Legitimate Backstage Fights

7. Lesnar vs Angle

Brock Lesnar Not a malicious fight, but a contest of brute force. In 2001 Brock Lesnar was an impressive young wrestler who had got the main WWE locker room talking. The huge kid had a fearsome reputation as a college wrestler, and was already being discussed as being one of the toughest men in the whole company. One day, backstage at a WWE event, Kurt Angle and Lesnar were hanging out and being goaded by the rest of the locker room questioning who really was the toughest. At this time, it was a given in WWE that Angle was by far the toughest man on the roster. But Lesnar insisted he was in fact tougher than Angle. The pride stakes were high. Angle and Lesnar agreed to have a shoot wrestle. The reported winner was said to be Angle. It was a contest which had the locker room buzzing for months, and the pair would eventually meet in the WWE ring as the main event of Wrestlemania 19.
