10 most emotional photos in WWE history

#5 Warrior’s final message

Warrior sent his Immortal energy into the WWE Universe one last time.

In the years following The Ultimate Warrior's departure from the then WWF, there was a lot of bad blood. For one reason or another, there was friction that simply could not be denied.

They say that time heals all wounds and while that may not necessarily be true in every instance, it would prove to be true with The Warrior and his relationship with WWE management. In 2014, Warrior took his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame. Two nights later, the very night after WrestleMania, Warrior would step into the ring for what would be his final appearance and deliver the most passionate, sincere promo imaginable.

Warrior unexpectedly passed away the very next day, but just as he said, the true spirit of the Warrior will live in all of us, forever.

#4 Remembering Eddie

The pain was evident on the faces of the superstars.

On the November 14, 2005 episode of RAW, WWE honored the passing of a true legend, Eddie Guerrero. As Vince McMahon spoke about the person Eddie was and of how dearly he would be missed, there wasn't a dry eye in the building.

It was hard to watch as the cameras panned across the Superstars that were assembled along the entrance ramp. It was clear to see in each one's eyes, the pain and the amount of respect and adoration each person had for Eddie. It was a tragic circumstance that reminded us just how real their emotions were and how close of a bond each one shared.

To this day, Eddie Guerrero has left a lasting impression on past and current Superstars all over the world. He was one of those guys who truly loved performing for the fans and bringing joy to everyone's life he interacted with.

#3 NXT remembers Dusty Rhodes

Dusty is a huge part of why NXT is so successful.

Even if you're not a fan of the business, you know exactly who 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes is. Dusty was one of the most charismatic personas of all time. He was a people's wrestler and the people are exactly who he connected with. He had the ability to penetrate your soul and impart a healthy dose of love, which we all needed. Dusty was one of the first to make it crystal clear that he wrestled for the purpose of entertaining the masses and it's safe to say, he did an excellent job at that.

As we learned from Triple H, Dusty considered the NXT roster to be his "kids". He was not only a mentor to them, but he was a friend and in many cases, he was a father figure. For this reason, the loss of the Dream impacted NXT in a more profound way than anyone else.

On the June 17, 2015, edition of NXT on The WWE Network, Dusty's NXT kids gathered at the entrance ramp to bid farewell to not only an icon, but their friend.

#2 Remembering 9/11

Vince and the crew honoring America.

September 11, 2001, is and always will be a somber day for Americans. In one morning, lives were changed, families were destroyed and a nation was under attack as terrorists orchestrated the worst tragedy ever to hit American soil. For one day, the entire world stopped.

In the days and weeks following 9/11, Americans struggled to regain some sense of normalcy. Sporting events were canceled, employers told staff to stay home, and television stations aired nothing but doom and gloom. We, as Americans, were in need of someone to step up and tell us it was okay to move forward. On September 13, 2001, Vince McMahon and the WWE would offer us just that.

As time seemed to stand still and people locked themselves in their homes, SmackDown went live from The Compaq Center in Houston. In front of capacity crowd, Vince let the world know that his company would not cower to the fear tactics of a select few and for at least this night, fans were allowed to resume their normal lives.

#1 Connor "The Crusher"

After winning the main event, Bryan headed straight for Connor.

You can say what you will about Vince, Stephanie, Triple H or anyone else associated with WWE, but if there's only one thing they ever got right, it's the way they interact with kids and children with terminal illnesses. By now, we are all familiar with Connor Michalek, the 8-year-old little boy who had brain and spinal cancer. Connor was a huge fan of WWE and an even bigger fan of Daniel Bryan.

After discovering his YouTube video where he expressed his desire to meet Daniel Bryan, Mr. McMahon immediately arranged for Connor and his family to attend Monday Night RAW in his hometown of Pittsburgh, where he also met his hero, Daniel Bryan.

Connor made an instant and lasting impression on all of the WWE Superstars, especially Bryan. In fact, Connor would create a special bond with former ring announcer Justin Roberts as well. Justin would become the go-to source when anyone wanted updates on Connor. Justin eventually informed Vince that Connor's health was deteriorating and that he would like to get him to WrestleMania 30, if possible. Of course, this was possible.

Following the main event, when Daniel Bryan became the undisputed champion, Bryan immediately rushed out of the ring, into the waiting arms of Connor. As the friends celebrated, Bryan looked at Conner and told him, "you helped me....thank you." It was an amazing moment that proved the boundaries of professional wrestling reach farther than just what we see inside the squared circle. Professional wrestling is oftentimes a mode of therapy, used to help others who simply need a little joy in their life.

R.I.P. Connor.
