Page 31 features a concept drawing of Reiko Saeba. Sister to Akira Saeba (Akira Maeda) and the hero of Champion Road's love interest.
Page 32 features Morio Smith - the given name of a character the player controls in Champion Road.
Morio's stats are:

Osamu Kido is supposed to be the last character on page 42 as part of the VIEW JAPAN (NJPW) promotion. Instead, it's Jo Kajiwara (Yoshiaki Fujiwara).
It seems Osamu Mito (Osamu Kido) was added after all.
The unlockable characters from the HIDE and KAKU promotions are not listed in the manual.
On page 54, I think the above photo is of CHACHAMARU, a HUMAN Entertainment staff member that has been associated with the
Fire Pro series since the very beginning.
A common theme I've also seen in Fire Pro Wrestling guides from the era were the giveaways or "present"'s offered. In page 54's case,
it looks like the presents offered in Special's manual is a Turbo File Super Famicom accessory set, a Puroresu issue and what looks like
a guide on becoming a Wrestler.
And, that's it.
