10 Best 21st Century WWE Moments In Madison Square Garden
3. Guerrero and Benoit Embrace - WrestleMania XX
It's an image as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking; confetti raining down on two men, hand-in-hand, holding the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships aloft, genuine tears on their faces. This is the image that ended WrestleMania XX and one that fans will never see in an official WWE capacity ever again.
WrestleManias I and X both took place in The Garden, so it made sense that XX would also be there. The show was a humdinger thanks in no small part to its twin world title matches of Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle and a triple threat featuring Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit. Guerrero successfully retained his WWE Championship over Angle before Benoit closed the show by winning a fantastic main event with the Crippler Crossface.
After claiming the big gold belt, Benoit was joined in the ring by his real life best friend and fellow world champ. The two workhorses embraced and celebrated their success together in a moment that many thought would be shown in highlight packages for years to come. As we know, this was not the case, but this forbidden image is one that many fans still treasure even with its disturbing implications.
