#1 Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 20

One of the best moments in wrestling history came at WrestleMania XX. Triple H defended his title against Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit.

Whether the internet hates Triple H or not is irrelevant, but when it comes to WrestleMania - Triple H always produces a great match, throw in the best mat wrestler of the era and the guy who had more matches on this list than anybody, and you've got yourself a slobber knocker.

The main reason I love this match is how much they put over Chris Benoit. They could've let him have his title match on SmackDown by beating Brock Lesnar in a less meaningful match, but they brought Chris Benoit over to Raw and let him beat the man, Triple H.

Finally, after years and years of being the best wrestler in the world and being underappreciated every step of the way, Chris Benoit finally won what belonged to him, the World Title.
