WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

"OK, I admit it. Mark Henry is for real. I wasn't so sure before, but after knocking Benoit out of action, I can't deny it any longer."
-Steve

"I can name five RAW Superstars that would beat Mark Henry: Kane, Triple H, HBK, Edge and RVD. That said, there's no way Henry should be No. 3 ahead of those guys."
-Brant S.

"London & Kendrick rule. I think they would beat the Spirit Squad in a battle of Tag Team Champions."
-Timothy

"The Game should be higher. He took apart all members of the Spirit Squad. Doesn't that count for anything?"
-Scott

"Will the POWER 25 feature ECW wrestlers once that brand is launched? That's a good question."
-Eric
