Brock Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate, will face Dean Ambrose in a No-Holds Barred Street Fight on Sunday in WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Thirteen years ago, however, the stakes were higher as Lesnar met WWE Champion Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XIX in Seattle's Safeco Field.

Check out the action as Lesnar outlasted Angle for the title belt. Infamously, Lesnar missed a Shooting Star Press during the match, a high-risk maneuver that could have led to serious injury.
