Benoit's return to WWE?

Obviously it's not a real return since he has been dead for a couple of years, but after his death there was no reference to him. He remained listed in title histories, and his matches remained when they re released PPVs, but he has not included in any match collections (regardless of his involvement in the match) and no one in the company has mentioned him.

But it seems that is changing. He is listed on the Wrestlmania website, having taken part in 2 of the 24 best mania matches (Against Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 2000, Triple H and Shawn Micheals at Wrestlemania 20, and against Angle at Wrestlemanis 17) and he was included in the recently released "WWE Encyclopedia, with a half page entry and a large photo.

Obviously there is a lot of controversy surrounding him due to the events related to his death, but it is nice to see that, whether or not you like him, he is being recognized as part of wrestling history.
