• More than a dream come true
  
  At 6:58 P.S.T. Eddie Guerrero made his way to the ring for his title shot against Brock Lesnar as one of WWE’s greatest underdogs. Thirty-three minutes later, he left, one of its proudest champions.
  
  Where Guerrero’s victory will ultimately be ranked in the pantheon of the unexpected probably won’t be settled for some time, but given the fact that this was his first major championship match, that he was facing the indomitable Lesnar, and that a title defense at WrestleMania XX would go to the victor, it’s fair to say that few gave Eddie a chance.
  
  For Eddie though, this was never about what others might think. It was about the years of sacrifice, conquering his personal demons, and working for the dream that never died. The result was more than he could have imagined and the emotions overtook him after his victory.
  
  “It’s unbelievable. I can’t describe how I feel,” said a tearful Eddie just moments after being handed the belt. “It’s my dream come true, more than my dream actually. I know all things are possible now. Even though this was a dream of mine, sometimes I wondered if it was too farfetched. You want to grab all your dreams with all your heart, but sometimes they seem so far away that you can’t.”

• Kurt Angle is off to WrestleMania on the highest of notes
  
  Having defeated John Cena and The Big Show in a Triple Threat Number One Contenders Match at No Way Out, Kurt Angle now heads to WrestleMania “more fired up” than for any other WrestleMania match he’s ever been involved in.
  
  “I’m real excited about it,” said Angle. “Last year was my first WrestleMania main event, but with my neck injury I wasn’t sure how it was going to come out. Unfortunately, I didn’t come out on top. I did what I could though. Was I happy considering my condition? Yeah, I was happy, but I know I can do a heck of a lot more this year. I’m feeling 100 percent, and I’m ready to go.”
  
  As for the prospects of facing the WWE Champion, the gleam in Angle’s eyes told it all.
  
  “Eddie Guerrero is the champion right now and he’s as established as you can get. He’s a certainly at the top of his game. I’m real excited. I know it’s going to be the match of the night and that both of us are going to work our hardest to entertain the fans and be champion.”
