Jim Cornette is claiming on Twitter that he told Brock Lesnar while Lesnar was in OWV (WWE’s developmental system at the time) that he should wait to do the Shooting Star Press at a big moment. He ended up doing the move in his match with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 19 back in 2003.
Here is what Cornette tweeted out:
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! — Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) October 22, 2015
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”!
