WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"So there's no room for the Intercontinental Champion in the Top 10? Why's
that?"
-Blake
"After seeing what he did in See No Evil, Kane should be No. 1. For
real."
-Helen
"There's no way Mark Henry should be that high. How do you justify him
being ahead of people like Chris Benoit, Shelton Benjamin and Shawn
Michaels?"
- Steve
"I would've had Jillian in this week instead of Gymini."
-Tracy
"There should be a POWER ranking for the women's division. That would be
hot."
-Hazel
"King Booker has a nice ring to it. Once that happens, I want to see him
back where he belongs - the Top 10.
-Jay L.
