Triple Threat matches have the potential to be some of the most exciting bouts that an audience has ever seen, and Shawn Michaels has been a part of several of them.

At WrestleMania XX, it was all about Chris Benoit, more so than Triple H or Shawn Michaels. Far removed from the future that no one could have imagined, the event was Benoit’s crowning moment after years of struggling to break out as a main event performer. He was a wrestler who fans loved at this point in his career.

The desperation in the match was clear as there were several stories being told. Shawn Michaels and Triple H had a bitter rivalry that could never be put to the side. At the same time, Chris Benoit was finally getting that WrestleMania moment that he had been working for his entire career. All three men were pictures of desperation as they all participated in a match in which they felt they had no other option but to win.

The match was incredible, hard-hitting, and exciting with near-falls the way only a Triple Threat match can be. However, it was the story of Chris Benoit, long before his tragic and despicable actions that would cast a shadow over his entire life. Chris Benoit won and his celebration with Eddie Guerrero after that would be a moment that very few wrestling fans could watch without a tear in their eyes.
