The Rabid Wolverine has everything going his way... Not only is JBL on a bit of a slide, but he's also sporting an injured hand. |

Henry has lived up to his promise of making a huge impact. A victory over Undertaker would solidify his position as a top-tier Superstar, but sheer strength will not be enough to beat the Deadman. |

Why didn't Mr. McMahon just fire him? Too easy. The McMahons revel in the humiliation of their enemies. HBK is arguably the greatest in-ring performer in WWE history, but no one can win against a stacked deck. |

MNM looked good in the Last Chance Battle Royal, but The Academy wants to see them defend their titles against some top-notch opponents. |

They're cheering for the right team at the right time. Lost in their annoying antics is the fact that these guys are pretty impressive athletes. The P-25 feels the spirit. |

WrestleMania may be one of those rare occasions where the challenger walks in with the advantage... It looks like being psycho may pay off for Mickie James. |

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"I don't understand how Mickie can make it in over the Women's Champion. Plus, Trish is hotter!"
-George
"It's all about The Game! Move over Cena, here comes the King of Kings."
-Larry L.
"Rey deserves better. There's no way he should have dropped two spots after getting robbed on Friday."
-Anne
"Good movement this week, especially for Shelton and Mark Henry. It was good to see them climb without the help of momma and Daivari."
-Mark
"Break up the Spirit Squad."
-Joe
"I really don't think HBK should be getting penalized for the way he is losing. It's just not fair."
-Sally
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Paul Burchill
SmackDown's buccaneer got the boot to make room for the psychotic Mickie James.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
Mr. McMahon
If the Chairman can beat the Champ on RAW, a spot on the POWER 25 is almost a definite.
Matt Hardy
Becoming Mr. Money in the Bank would assuredly end Hardy's POWER 25 drought.
