WrestleMania title shot: Defeated Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XIX When Brock Lesnar won the 2003 Royal Rumble, he had been in WWE for less than a year, debuting the night after WrestleMania X8. Lesnar was dubbed the Next Big Thing, and he would prove it during his two-year tenure. Lesnar had to defeat Big Show to gain entrance into the 03 Rumble, won and then went on to headline the criminally underrated WrestleMania XIX in a title match that was a perfect cap to the event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfmtKNKzEDM Brock would go on to defend the championship until July, when he would lose the title to Kurt Angle. The two would go on to have a huge rivalry for the next several months, during which Lesnar would turn heel again and add to his reputation as a badass.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
