9 WWE Championship Wins That Were Completely Overshadowed

9. Brock Lesnar - WrestleMania XIX

In the main event of WrestleMania XIX, Brock Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle to win the WWE Championship. It was the first WrestleMania main event to feature two men performing under their real names, and was one of the best pure wrestling matches to headline the Show of Shows. Lesnar prevailed after 21 gruelling minutes.

The quality of the match isn't what anyone was talking about after the bout, though.

No, instead it was Lesnar's botched Shooting Star Press that was the talk of the town. After hitting Angle with an F-5, Lesnar decided to put the cherry square on the top of the cake, but somewhere in between leaving the top rope and connecting with the mat, Lesnar didn't quite complete his mid-air rotation.

The Next Big Thing landed square on his forehead, suffering a concussion and minor neck injuries. He was lucky he didn't kill himself. He still won the match and the title, but the failed SSP has gone down in history as one of the most infamous botches in history. It is remembered more than the title change the closed out the 19th WrestleMania.
