10 Great WWE Matches With One Notable Botch
6. Kurt Angle Vs. Shane McMahon (King Of The Ring 2001)
Shane McMahon has three big passions in life: sweating, taking up too much TV time, and hurting himself unnecessarily.
He thoroughly indulged the third item on that list at 2001's King of the Ring event, when he took on Kurt Angle in a Street Fight.
Angle had already competed twice that night, but still managed to put in a stellar performance in a 21 minute hardcore match. Talk about a wrestling machine.
Among the match's many high spots was a belly-to-belly suplex from Angle to McMahon through a large sheet of glass. Well, this was what was meant to happen.
Due to a mix up in the props department, the glass Shane was suplexed into wasn't gimmicked. Instead of going straight through it, Shane bounced off the glass and landed straight on the top of his head.
What's worse is that both men were so determined to complete the spot, Angle tried to put Shane through the glass multiple times, each failure dropping the McMahon right on his noggin.
Shane eventually went through the glass (which is weird to say as a positive) and it looked spectacular. What wasn't spectacular was the wince-inducing sequence that led up to this spot. Poor Shane.
