Brock Lesnar couldn't top Kurt Angle

Brock Lesnar usually gets his way. He vanquished Hulk Hogan, The Rock, The Undertaker, John Cena, and the Hardy Boyz with ease. He has won feuds against Triple H, CM Punk, and The Big Show. There is only one guy he couldn't top. That is Kurt Angle.



On the March 13th, 2003 Smackdown Angle pinned Brock from a measly inside cradle... the only move Kurt used in the match. Lesnar looked like a complete chump, worse than John Cena was ever booked. Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XIX, but only after a hellacious battle that saw Brock looking like the defeated man after the bell. At SummerSlam 2003 Kurt Angle made Lesnar tap for the victory. Next month Angle and Lesnar had a classic Iron Man Match on Smackdown. Lesnar won, but Angle looked equally strong at the end. In fact, the match ended with Angle wrecking Lesnar's ankle.



Their next high-profile match was when Angle defeated Lesnar by submission in a TNA World Heavyweight Champion vs. IWGP Heavyweight Champion match.



In the rumored backstage shoot, Angle supposedly got the better of Lesnar.



When comparing the accomplishments of Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar outside of pro wrestling, Angle comes out on top. Olympic Gold Medal trumps UFC Championship.



When Paul Heyman says nobody has reached Lesnar's level of success in professional wrestling, collegiate wrestling, and the UFC, he is suggesting that Lesnar is the greatest fixed and shoot fighter in the world. But the one wrestler in the world that has better credentials, and a better head to head record, is Kurt Angle.



Kurt Angle is a major wrestling star, every bit Lesnar's equal if not more. A continuation of the Lesnar/Angle rivalry could draw big numbers. Do you think Kurt Angle could be as valuable as Brock Lesnar in this era? Is WWE making a mistake by not signing Angle?
