18. Kurt Angle: The Missing Moonsault

Kurt Angle has thrown roughly 10,000 moonsaults in his storied career, and he's hit about five of them. That puts him slightly ahead of Ric Flair in terms of success ratios on attempted aerial maneuvers, but then Ric never tried a double axe-handle from the top of a cage. Remember that? When Kurt Angle missed a moonsault from the top of a cage? Kurt Angle the character just missed a move he never hit anyway, but Kurt Angle the human being did that on purpose.

But I guess it's not hard to see how Kurt would have problems hitting the move. I doubt he threw any moonsaults while he was winning an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck. Unless he did, and missed, and that's how he broke his freakin' neck.
