Brock Lesnar is a heavyweight and a super athlete. He is incredibly quick and agile for a guy his size, and his first run with the WWE is the epitome of it.

Lesnar won the Royal Rumble 2003 and challenged Kurt Angle for his WWE championship at Wrestlemania 19. Before their Wrestlemania match, Lesnar was told that he should perform a shooting star press on Kurt Angle from more than halfway across the ring. The beast incarnate was no stranger to this move and used to do it regularly during his days at Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). However, the distance was longer than usual in this case, and Brock ended up utterly missing Angle and giving himself a concussion. Yet, he continued the match and F5-ed Angle for a third time to pick up the victory.
