Chris Benoit winning the World Championship takes the cake for me. It was unbelievable to see in person, and still just as amazing to watch after the fact. Everything that happened isn't going to change my mind about something that occurred three years prior. At the time, we simply knew him as a great wrestler who had finally earned his keep.
Eddie Guerrero's win was amazing as well, and his celebration with Benoit at the end of Wrestlemania nearly drove me to tears.
Of course there is also the tribute shows - Eddie's in particular, but let's not forget about Benoit's either, before we knew any of the details, most of us were un complete shock and awe, it was incredibly emotional.
Additionally, once details of Benoit's death started to leak, it became one of, if not the most emotionally charged topic ever in wrestling. Granted, these weren't good emotions, but to say finding out a wrestler you watched for years, one who was widely considered one of the best, killed not only himself but his family as well, that's pretty damn emotional.

Ah nice, a murderer winning the belt...Big ing deal. Can't look at that creep the same way anymore. Not since the day he became a killer. Anyway, enough talking about a murderer, the most emotional would have to be when Miss Elizabeth came out and tore Sherri off Randy Savage and they hugged and embraced at the end of WrestleMania VII. That was awesome. I'll never forget it. hey, dipsh*t, we're talking about emotional moments. now, I've completely accepted the fact that Chris Benoit was scum, but saying something that happened 3 years after a said moment takes away all the emotion you felt when that moment occured, well, that doesn't make an inch of a sense is probably just you being a dick. dick. First off, name calling is against the TOS, so wise up there junior. And second, I was just voicing MY opinion on the murdering creep. If you don't like it, TOUGH. Deal with it and move on. You guys want to keep this thread clean and all about wrestling, eh?? Fine with me. Just leave a ing child murderer out of it. That's all I'm saying. To me, that moment at WrestleMania XX never even happened. Neither did the rest of the 20+ years of that whacko's career. See, I can look WAY beyond whatever he did or accomplished in wrestling because in the end, NONE of that mattered. What he did in the end will forever overshadow any good he ever did in the fake world of wrestling. He was NEVER a wrestler in my eyes, just a cold-blooded killer that viciously strangled his wife and 7-year old son to death and then was too much of a coward to stick around and face the consequences, so he hung his worthless ass on his weight machine. Anyways, I've voiced MY opinion on the creep, so that's that. Back on topic, here is another emotional moment I'm sure none of us will ever forget:

For me personally it was when Brock Lesnar ended Hulk Hogan's 2002 smackdown run.
I was only about 11 at the time and was always a huge Hogan fan. To see him be destroyed like that made me cry so hard. I still wouldn't be able to watch it now and still kind of hate Brock Lesnar for it.

Back on topic, here is another emotional moment I'm sure none of us will ever forget: And you're calling him junior, which is an insult, no? Breaking that same part of the TOS you said he was. On topic - Michaels was the guy who got me into watching it in the first place way back in 2004, and to see him retire was a sad moment for me... However, I am happy that he's staying away from the ring, and honouring his retirement, and enjoying it!

RAW IS OWEN is the one for me. I still have it recorded on vhs. I can't get through Triple H talking without crying. Seriously, I miss that guy... In terms of emotional moments for me as a fan though, HBK winning at Mania 12. The Boyhood Dream thing sucked me in and I was actually 11 years old going on 12 and Shawn was my hero. I felt like my team won the Super Bowl that day and Shawn treated that first one as such. Also, on a more personal note, seeing Shawn jump off the ladder at WM22 onto Vince. I was at the event and seeing Shawn perform live at Mania was at the top of my bucket list, and I almost broke-down right there in my chair. Something I will never forget. Dolph Ziggler winning the IC title Chris Jericho becoming Undisputed Champion HBK vs Ric Flair at Mania HBKs retirement on Raw - the entire show Watching Roddy Piper talk about winning the IC title, and also never getting the chance to become WWF Champion

Um, no, not really an insult. Certainly not nearly as harsh as him calling me dipsh*t and twice calling me dick. I guess the WF forums are getting as PG rated as the WWE then, right?? I mean, if calling a guy 'junior' is name calling, then wow...Whatever...

I still tear up during the Savage & Elizabeth reunion. I also agree with the Owen Hart clips. I was so moved by his passing I named my son Owen. As for Benoit, while I don't condone at all what happened eventually, at the time I was still so happy to see him win the WWE title at WM20. Especially when Eddie came out. I cried like a baby the first time this aired... The next one may be lame to some, but Triple H was my favorite since back during the blue blood days so it was great to see him finally make it... Even as a kid, I totally sided with Savage on this. I've never been a Hogan fan since...

Eddie winning the big one- just amazing to see someone overcome so much
Owens death- I was real young, but really hit me hard
Eddie death- a personal idol of mine
Nancy and Daniels deaths- the real losses of two innocent people at the hands of a piece of sh**. it's ok though you know, cause the guy was a good wrestler

[glow=red,2,300]it's ok though you know, cause the guy was a good wrestler[/glow] LOL. Exactly. It's like all the brain-dead Benoit fans and sympathizers out there give him a free-pass or something. And they talk about him like he was two different people, inside the ring and outside. He was the same sick bastard he always was. I just wish the fans who STILL live in denial could see it the same way we do man. But they'll still defend him to the bitter end because they all believe he was a good man for what he did in a pre-determined profession. Wake the fu*k up already. Benoit was a nut. All there is to it.

All there is to it. Who's in denial? Is every single person on the earth supposed to think that Chris Benoit was a nut? Hell no All I know about Benoit are what I saw in the ring, and what I heard on the news reports. I didn't know the man personally enough to call him this or that. All of us are just on the outside looking in... All I wanna remember is the wrestler and if I'm a sick who's in denial because I still think somewhat positively about Chris Benoit the wrestler then so ing be it...

^ Yep, you are in denial buddy, BIG time. There you go, just as I said. Thinking Benoit was 2 seperate people, inside the ring and outside. Chris Benoit "the wrestler" was different than Chris Benoit "the family man" He was the SAME ing guy that killed his family dude. You guys are hilarious. Just hilarious. Still defending a guy that killed his own wife and kid...I'll never get it...You guys are SO brainwashed, it's hilarious. It's not even worth trying to describe it and break it down, because you'll just never get it. You guys are warped...Wow...

I shouldn't even respond to that bullcrapyou just said, but it's people like you that just... the only "hilarious" thing that I find is YOU telling ME that I am brainwashed and in denial because of the fact that I don't think the same thing that you or other people do. Until you are me and can read my damn mind, off That fact that thickheaded, close minded ers like you are even allowed on the internet is embarassing and disgusting

Sure thing pal. I'm the one who is closed-minded. You know, it must be nice living in Never-Never Land. Maybe I'll come and visit you sometime when I need a break from reality. And hey, watch the name calling. Against the TOS. Nobody is defending him. Nobody is saying what he did was awesome with his family. And I certainly didn't said there are two Chris Benoits. There was only one Chris Benoit, the man who made horrible acts before taking his own life and the same man that was one of the best technical wrestler EVER, and nobody backstage determined the ability he would have. He did something atrocious and had a great career, you know but happened. You don't want to celebrate his career? Fine, but IT DID HAPPEN. You talked about you being able to voice your opinion, well, you did, but then you contradict all those words by not letting us talk about WM XX being in one of our most emotional moments, and hey, you didn't wanted to "get out of topic", well, you first did it by bringing up something that had nothing to do with wrestling.

I felt really sentimental when the Hart Foundation got back together in 1997. When Bret stopped Owen and Bulldog from fighting, and Bret talked about how he walked his brother to school and stood up to a teacher who was picking on him etc.
Then with Owen crying and all three hugging, I just wanted to say "Aww, that's nice." Even though they were heels.

Or how about you both take this to PM and we continue with posting emotional moments?
One that got me as a kid was during the Invasion storyline, when Steve Austin ended up turning against the WWF. I wasn't even into the storyline properly yet I was worried at the time, being a kid and all, that with Austin on the WCW/ECW side. The WWF would actually be no more.

This is going to get locked the way it's going. But I feel like throwing my Benoit opinion in. Considering aside from Eddies passing, the Benoit incident got me more emotionally involved than most things. There is no doubt that Chris Benoit was a great wrestler, and to many people a wonderful human being. But at the end of the day, he is a murderer, there is no defending what he did. And he should never touch a HOF or be acknowledge and celebrated by the WWE because of this.
There is no reason why people cannot enjoy the mans in ring work to this day. I still enjoy his work. However I cannot enjoy him or respect him for what he did, he is the same person in and out the ring unlike what people think, doesn't give him a free pass. And that's it, and in my opinion I think Benoit had a messed up side to him, he has assaulted his wife in the past. And I think with Eddie's passing amongst other things pushed him over the edge and made him do what he did. Great worker, fun to watch, but if it was any other guy who killed someone and it was reported, people would just go "scum bag deserves to rot" and that would be it, people think differently because they was emotionally attached to him, but I have to look at it logically, took me a bit to come to terms with it, but that's the way it is. =/

Mainly the deaths of wrestlers like Owen Hart, Eddie Guerrero and Brian Pillman.
Also when Scott Hall and Kevin Nash first appeared on Nitro always stands out. And when Austin won the world title at Wrestlemania 14 in 1998.
As for Benoit he bored me senseless in the ring and turned out to be a crazy killer so id rather forget he existed.

First off, name calling is against the TOS, so wise up there junior. And second, I was just voicing MY opinion on the murdering creep. If you don't like it, TOUGH. Deal with it and move on. You guys want to keep this thread clean and all about wrestling, eh?? Fine with me. Just leave a ing child murderer out of it. That's all I'm saying. You want us to leave Benoit out of it? Tough. Deal with it and move on. You want to voice your opinion, go ahead, but don't attack someone else for voicing theirs and then be all defensive when someone attacks yours. There was never a more emotional moment in wrestling than when Benoit and Eddie hugged in the middle of the ring at Wrestlemania 20, World and WWE Heavyweight Champions respectively. If anything, it even becomes more emotional due to what happened to both men. I'm not saying I don't think Benoit turned out to be a piece of shit, because I do, but it doesn't take away from the emotionally charged moment that was. Also, I'll go with Ric Flair asking Shawn Michaels to put him out of his misery. Also tarnished due to Flair wrestling again, but what a moment that was.
