The first match I ever remember watching in WWE was the Royal Rumble 2004. It was the one
where Chris Benoit won, eliminating the Big Show last. I remember it because Chris was my
favorite wrestler, Eddie Guerrero's, friend. I also remember it because 2 years after he won, both him
and Eddie would be dead. Eddie died in 2006 do to heart failure. Benoit died in 2007, after he killed
his wife and son, due to having a mental breakdown, while having the brain of a 70-year old
Alzheimer patient, do to many concussions, when he died, according to doctors. Chris was only 39
years old when he died.
Before Eddie died, he was emotional support for Chris. The two where best friends, and Chris relied
on Eddie. Without EG, Chris became depressed. When WWE did a tribute to EG the next Raw after
he died, Chris can be seen openly weeping and holding on to Eddie's nephew, Chavo Guerrero who
was more of a brother to Eddie then a nephew. Imagine this, the year before, at WrestleMania, both
Chris and Eddie ending the show embracing, each of them finally being a world champion, Eddie
defeated Brock Lesnar for the title at the Pay-Per-View No Way Out, and Chris defeated Shawn
Michaels and Triple H in the main event at mania to pick up the World Heavyweight championship
that very night. That night, two best friends held the two main WWE titles at the same time.
