When WrestleMania returned to Madison Square Garden for its 20th edition, emotions were running high in the locker room. After traveling around the world and shedding blood, sweat, and tears for 20 years, Chris Benoit had finally gotten a chance to win the top prize!

During the final moments of what many consider to be the greatest triple threat match of all time, Benoit caught Triple H in a Crippler Crossface. The Cerebral Assassin gave it all, but failed to get out of the move, finally giving up and tapping out!

The sea of 20,000 fans erupted in cheers as a visibly tearful Chris Benoit grabbed the title belt, and you could tell that this was the greatest moment of his life. Eddie Guerrero, his longtime friend, joined him in celebration, resulting in perhaps the most emotional in-ring moment in WWE history.
