• Benoit goes the distance
  
  PHILADELPHIA -- Jan.25, 2004 -- Because Chris Benoit entered the Royal Rumble Match as the first competitor, odds were against him winning the 30-man over-the-top-rope contest. Through hard work, perseverance and the right mindset, the Rabid Wolverine did the seemingly impossible.
  
  “It was very hard. Probably one of the hardest challenges I’ve ever had in my career,” Benoit said. “There were a lot of the SmackDown! Superstars who I was familiar with. I knew their game and I knew what to expect from them, but with many of the RAW Superstars, I’ve never been in the ring with before, guys like Randy Orton and so forth. It was very challenging.”

• Regal feeling ‘very good and very bored’
  
  No Way Out is just around the corner, marking the one-year anniversary of William Regal’s last match.
  
  Regal stepped into the ring during the Montreal pay-per-view on Feb. 23, 2003, for a tag team match with his partner, Lance Storm. At the time, the duo held the World Tag Team Championship, and they successfully defended the title that night against Kane and Rob Van Dam.
  
  Regal wasn’t feeling well that night, and he suffered a concussion during the match, so he was held out of action the next night on RAW. He gradually got worse in subsequent days, and his body put on 40 pounds when fluid built up in his system. Thus, Regal was taken off the road until he’s problems could be diagnosed and treated.
  
  That was 11 months ago.
  
  Reached at his home in Atlanta today, the former WWE Commissioner proclaimed that he was feeling “very good and very bored.”
