10 Greatest WWE Championship Matches In WrestleMania History

9. Kurt Angle Vs. Brock Lesnar (WrestleMania 19)

WrestleMania 19 was an oasis in the barren desert that was WWE in 2003, a gem of a show that succeeded during desperate and clueless times. Even with Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon adorning the DVD cover, the show wisely ended with two of the greatest athletes to ever grace a WWE ring, and they thrived, one in spite of catastrophic injury, and the other nearly receiving one in the closing moments. Lesnar's shooting star press into near-paralysis is better remembered than the fact that Angle pushed himself through the match with a badly-ravaged spine. To see it, you'd have never known it, as Angle guts out his usual lofty-standards effort. It's a 'no-frills' match where well-executed, heavy-hitting basics are the frills. No complaints.
