Brock Lesnar quit the WWE back in 2004 and captured the IWGP Championship, besting several wrestling savants including Shinsuke Nakamura in NJPW. However, Kurt Angle would turn out to be the one to dethrone "the Beast Incarnate."

Back in 2007, Angle, who was the reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion, challenged Brock Lesnar for the IWGP title in a Champion vs Champion showdown. The duo weaved one of the best in-ring stories that night, placing immense importance on the pacing and aggressiveness displayed inside the ring.

Both stars took a ton of damage throughout the course of their match, and undoubtedly left the Japanese crowd awestruck with their jaw-dropping performance. Angle’s greatness shone like a diamond, as did his veteran savvy in making Lesnar look strong in a loss. I’d highly suggest that you watch this classic… that is if you haven’t already!
