Cornette posted:
Since it's a topic–I told @BrockLesnar to not do shooting star in front of hundreds in gyms in OVW, save your knees, wait for a big moment.

"Big moment" was Wrestlemania, which is only time out of at least a dozen times that he didn't nail it perfectly, he put Kurt too far out!

I saw it coming a mile away on TV but Brock didn't get my telepathy, went up and tried it anyway. That's why they call it "high-risk"!
