Top 10 emotional moments from the WWE

#8 WrestleMania 20: Benoit becomes the World Heavyweight Champion

Benoit finally achieves the gold

Chris Benoit had a road like no other, as he had to enter the Royal Rumble at No. 1 and beat 29 other wrestlers to be the No. 1 contender for the World title. He would go on to face two of the greatest wrestlers of the past two decades to become champion as he made Triple H tap out.

As he celebrated after the match, he turned around and saw his best friend (and WWE Champion) Eddie Guerrero standing there with tears in his eyes, everyone lost it. As they embraced, they knew that the years of struggling and dealing with backstage politics had only made them stronger. They were both on top of the wrestling world, and they were there together.

It didn't appear that Benoit knew Guerrero would be there, as you could see how turning and seeing him made him pretty much stop in his tracks. That doesn't matter, though. It shows that even pro wrestlers can get caught up in the moment and lose themselves to emotions.

Eddie was so happy for his friend that he couldn't just celebrate backstage and wait to see him. He had to go to the ring right away and be there with him. Moments like these make the fans feel that these two legends went away too early.
