WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Batista sweeps the first-place votes? What about Randy Orton?" - Jason
The Academy replies: With the WWE Champion taking the "low road" at Cyber Sunday and The Animal's impressive win over Undertaker, it's understandable that the first-place votes all went to Batista.
"Where's Kelly Kelly on the P25? She won the Diva Halloween Battle Royal!" - Terri
The Academy replies: Yes, and she got some attention from Academy members, but not enough to crack the P25 rankings.
"Carlito drops three spots on the P25? That's not cool!"- Ann
The Academy replies: The former Intercontinental Champion seems cursed when facing DH Smith. That's three straight losses to the newcomer.
FAREWELL...
...to no one. All ranked Superstars maintained their spot on the POWER 25 this week. Congrats!
