10 Best WWE Matches Ever (According To The Internet)
10. Chris Benoit Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Triple H
Starting not how we mean to go on, the highly-rated WrestleMania XX main event is something many fans may never have seen and many more may never watch again.
This is the legacy - if you can call it that - of Chris Benoit following his actions and the tragic events of the last days of his, wife Nancy and son Daniel’s lives back in 2007.
What makes this specific entry from Benoit’s exhaustive back catalogue so jarring compared to other clashes from his career is how shaped around his past, present and future it was.
He was the man that could never ascend in the market leader because of his perceived shortcomings. He especially stood no chance against a Shawn Michaels and Triple H being presented as at the top of their games. And he was the man, alongside Eddie Guerrero, tasked with shouldering a philosophical shift that Vince McMahon barely even committed to before their untimely deaths just three and one years later respectively.
All of the above feeds to in to an epic tale, but fictional physicality may simply never be enough to distract from the brutal and devastating reality.
