Chris Benoit Being Held Back, Foley’s Big Match, More
- Mick Foley said in a recent interview that he is training for a big match. No details were released on who the opponent would be.
- A few of the names that were considered for a championship title run when The Undertaker went down with his injury were Edge, Randy Orton, and Mr. Kennedy. Kane was also considered but due to his bad knee, he wasnt a top candidate.
- Due to Chris Benoits weakness at cutting good promos, SmackDowns head writer, Michael Hayes doesnt feel as if Chris Benoit should be a main event performer. Advertisement: Benoit Not Happy With WWE! Jumping Ship To TNA Soon (>>) .
