10 Times Brock Lesnar Won On His First Attempt
3. WrestleMania Main Event
Where: WrestleMania XIX
Doubling as his first ‘Mania match, The Beast Incarnate was given headline status at his debut appearance on The Grandest Stage Of Them All.
He didn’t disappoint in the spotlight either, putting on a 20-minute thriller with Kurt Angle at the pointy end of the show, a man he was able to produce the goods with nearly every time they stepped in the ring together. They were a perfect combination.
Despite picking up the win and his second reign with the top belt, Lesnar’s night almost ended in tragedy thanks to a now infamous shooting star press botch.
Looking to finish the night off in style, the absolute unit of a human being decided to backflip halfway across the ring from the top rope, but instead of landing on Angle, he fell short and landed on the mat… neck first!
Concussion aside, it was the perfect end to a near-perfect first 12 months on the main roster. He had already won and lost the WWE Championship and picked up wins in the King Of The Ring and Royal Rumble and this was the cherry on top.
