Lesnar and Angle have had many classic matches in the squared circle. They have headlined WrestleMania and many other pay-per-views and big shows, including Vengeance and SummerSlam in 2003.

Whenever they got in the ring together, the results were usually no less than very good. Their most intriguing match, however, took place not in front of a crowd but in the ring before at a WWE TV taping.

The match took place after Lesnar had said that the Olympic gold medallist was too small to take him. Angle, being a proud athlete, challenged Lesnar and Lesnar eventually accepted.

Accounts differ on who actually won the match with both men claiming victory in interviews. Given Angle’s habit of contradicting himself and telling outright lies in recent years, the smart money is on Lesnar telling the truth.
