Chris Benoit has a full-page entry in the new WWE Encyclopedia, which people in the company were baffled about. It talks about how he grew up emulating Dynamite Kid, trained with the Harts, wrestled all over the world, made a name in WCW before jumping to WWE, and ultimately won the Royal Rumble and the World Title at WrestleMania. No mention of the murder/suicide or anything like that, though he is spoken of in the past tense.
Latest Hall of Fame rumors. In keeping with the Madison Square Garden/New York theme, besides Mick Foley (who appears to be a lock) there is discussion of Rock (his WWE debut was at the Garden and him going in as the main event this year makes sense, although Foley would be a good main eventer and you could use Rock another year if you wanted to), Nasty Boys (New York gimmick), and Harlem Heat (same, plus Booker T is already there). They still would like to put Owen Hart in but that's not a lock (his wife will make such a thing very difficult) and HHH still desperately wants Bruno Sammartino in, but the odds seem long against that for a lot of reasons. One person said it made sense that Brooklyn Brawler is going in given he made that cameo in Brooklyn a few years back to remind people of his existence.
