Do You Agree?
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Don't you think Randy should have jumped ahead of Rey, seeing as he beat him at No Way Out? That's what I would have done."
-Keith
"It's about time The Academy dropped Booker T from the list. Talk about getting by on name recognition alone."
-Ronnie B.
"I really like how you give props for HEAT and Velocity wins. I watch them every week. I knew Goldust was going to make the list after his win this week."
-Mary
"Get Trish back in there."
-Bobby R.
"In my humble opinion, Shelton Benjamin jumped a bit too much. He's more like a 15 or 16."
-Mike
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Booker T
Booker came up short in his only match in months. As a result, he has been dropped from the POWER 25.
Nunzio
This cruiserweight is going to need more match of the year candidates to stay on the POWER 25.
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:
Matt Hardy
A win on Friday would have put Matt back on the POWER 25 for sure.
Tatanka
The Native American keeps winning.
