WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"I know Booker T beat Benoit twice this week, but I don't think he should be in the Top 5 for it. He's more like a 7 or 8 in my opinion."
-Nathan
"As always, a perfect list. I wouldn't change a thing. I was especially happy to see Triple H get into the Top 10."
-Michael S.
"No, no, no, no, no! Stop putting Cena ahead of Batista. Batista would kick his butt if they ever fought."
-Danny H.
"Thanks for putting Trevor Murdoch in there. He's a future No. 1."
-Carrie
"I bet Ric Flair is off the list completely in a few weeks. In fact, we'll probably never see him again."
-Paul
"When is Viscera going to get some love on this list? He's better than the Boogeyman."
-Blake F.
