After years of scratching and clawing his way to the top of professional wrestling, Chris Benoit captured the World Heavyweight Championship in a five-star main event against Shawn Michaels and Triple H at WrestleMania XX.

The Rabid Wolverine overcame a concentrated effort by his opponents to take him out of the match with a suplex through the announce table, dumping the Heartbreak Kid over the top rope and applying his devastating Crippler Crossface to The Game.

Despite every attempt by Triple H to escape, he had no choice but to tap out in the middle of the ring, awarding the match and title to Benoit.

It was the culmination of a long, arduous journey for one of wrestling's then-most respected stars. The double murder of his wife, Nancy, and seven-year-old son, Daniel, have rightfully seen it and the rest of Benoit's career erased from WWE's official history books, but one is hard-pressed to find a better, more emotional professional wrestling match from WWE's Ruthless Aggression Era.
