WWE does not want to display Benoit’s victorious moment at WrestleMania XX

In one of the most epic nights in the history of WrestleMania events, the three gladiators were set to go against each other in a three-way match. All three competitors were fighting to grab the World Heavyweight Championship belt. And amongst the three warriors, after a good amount of blood, sweat, and tears, Chris Benoit emerged victorious to secure the title.

Benoit celebrating his victory is one of the most iconic WWE photos of all time. The late wrestler climbed the stairs of success in the WWE after this fight. He became a lot of people’s favorite fighter in a brief time. It all started as his wrestling journey in WWE was pushed by another wrestling veteran, who introduced him to Vince McMahon.

But WWE does not want to stamp the picture as their legacy, due to the hideous crime committed by Benoit. The wrestling promotion disassociated itself from the wrestler as it does not present quite a positive image in front of the fans. Nevertheless, there are many fans who just want to remember him for his important contribution to the sport.
