Do You Agree?
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"It's about time you guys recognized Val Venis for the Superstar that he is. Now just bump him up 10 spots and I'll be happy."
-Stan
"How come The Game didn't climb any higher after beating Tajiri this week?"
-Glen V.
"Another perfect list. The only thing I would change is Carlito's hair, but I guess that's not up to me, is it?"
-Candy L.
"I don't think there should be women on the list. There's no way Trish would beat Snitsky in match. Put him in there instead."
-Jonathan
"I think Matt Hardy is ranked too high."
-Steve B.
"Mark my words - Rey Mysterio will be No. 1 shortly, very shortly."
-Ronald
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Ken Kennedy
Mr. Kennedy's recent injury will keep him out of action for six months. Don't look for him to capture a spot on POWER 25 again until mid-2006.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
The following Superstar(s) were on the bubble this week, but have a legitimate chance at appearing on POWER 25 next week:
Viscera
A win over Chris Masters Monday night would not only put him in the main event of New Year's Revolution, but will almost definitely put him in the POWER 25.
Snitsky & Tomko
The monstrous RAW tag team continues to impress.
