Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Wrestlemania WWE Championship Matches

April 4, 2013

5. Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle: Wrestlemania 19

In a night that was filled with great matches, this was the best one of the night. Safeco Field in Seattle witness an exhibition of amateur wrestling moves, high flying risks, and an ending that was perfect to put over a young and rising star. Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar were both known as excellent wrestlers, one an Olympic Gold medalist and the other an accomplished wrestler in college. My favorite moves came from Lesnar, who sold a German Suplex better than I ever imagined. He landed on his stomach, trying to sell the power of Angle. He would try Shooting Star Press but landed on his neck. Lesnar was able to get up and reverse Kurt into an F5, finishing off an incredible match inside the ring. I feel liek this would be higher on the list if the storyline was better. They didn’t necessarily need a storyline. Their wrestling backgrounds was what sold this match to me. It just did not feel extremely personal at the peak of their feud. Nonetheless, a top 5 match in my eyes.
