WrestleMania 20 was capped off by arguably the single greatest title-winning celebration in WWE history.

Chris Benoit faced reigning World Heavyweight Champion Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match, with the big gold belt on the line. The matchup, in and of itself, was incredible.

Regardless, the final sequence of the showdown saw Triple H fail on his Pedigree attempt--following which, "The Game" got caught in a Crippler Crossface by Benoit.

Benoit submitted Triple H, and achieved his lifelong dream of winning championship gold at WrestleMania!

The audience went nuts, and Benoit simply could not hold back the tears. After years and years playing being regarded as an also-ran, he was World Heavyweight Champion!

Furthermore, alive was his fantasy of being at the peak of the wrestling mountain. His old buddy Eddie Guerrero joined him in the ring minutes afterwards, and with confetti raining down, it was a indeed an iconic moment in professional wrestling history.
