The show closed with Benoit and Guererro in the ring celebrating their respective title victories. It was a memorable sight which is arguably still remembered fondly by some wrestling fans.

I remember it well mate...Eddie would be dead before the end of that year...

I was at work when the news broke of Chris Benoit's 'suicide' - and then the grim truth of the story was revealed a few hours later!
To this day, I say the death of Eddie is what tipped Benoit over the edge, I seem to remember a lot of deaths among his friends around that period and I still say Benoit was so mentally fucked up that he did not know what he was doing...If I remember correctly, there were reports going round that he was dead man walking anyway, his heart was ready to give up at anytime and his brain was compared to that of an old person with advanced dementia.
I dont really have an opinion on WWE airbrushing him from history, they can do what they please in my opinion, they cannot really deny his place in history as he was probably one of the most technically gifted performers of his generation.
I personally despise Chris Benoit the man, but will always like what he gave in the ring, he give everything for the fans and was worth every penny imo...
What do people think of the Kevin Sullivan conspiracy that has been going around since Benoit and his families death???
