Eddie Guerrero defeated Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship in a great match, and then Chris Benoit completed his lifelong dream of winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania, defeating Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a triple threat match. After the match, Benoit's in the ring celebrating, and Eddie pops up behind him, and after a long moment, they hug and celebrate amidst the confetti. They had traveled together for 12 years, wrestling in Japan, Mexico, WCW, the WWF-WWE, and then at Wrestlemania XX the two best friends, both considering each other family, like brothers, they were standing on top of the world together. It was a perfect moment.After Wrestlemania went off the air, I told one of my friends, "That's it. That's the perfect ending. Wrestling has finished -- that was everything it should have been."When Eddie passed away Sunday, that's the first thing that came to mind. I watched Eddie across multiple federations and always cheered him like crazy. I've hardly ever known any wrestler that openly loved his work like Eddie. My mental image, my memory of Eddie Guerrero will always be that ring in Madison Square Garden, on top of the world. But what gets to me the most are those little girls that lost their father at 38. Stupid everything.</blockquote>
