WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
"Why isn't The Sandman in the POWER 25? He keeps winning." -Sal
The Academy replies: While The Sandman does have an impressive record, Sal, The Academy thinks that even you could beat The Zombie and Macho Libre.
"It's about time you put Mr. Kennedy on the list. But he is one of the best in the business, he should be higher than No. 25." - K.J.
The Academy replies: Have some patience, K.J. Kennedy is going to need some more high-profile wins to climb the P25. It'll happen. Just be patient.
"Triple H and HBK had one of the most memorable RAWs in recent history, but The Game dropped somehow. What is that?" - Lexi
The Academy replies: The Game is a victim of circumstance. Everybody else around him had huge weeks. A win for DX would've helped him, too. But they didn't have a match.
FAREWELL...
The following Superstar(s) failed to maintain their spot on the POWER 25 this week:
Vito
It won't be long before the dress-wearing Vito makes his way back into the POWER 25.
KEEP AN EYE ON...
Keep an eye on the following Superstars during the upcoming week:
Ric Flair
Sunday's match favors the Nature Boy.
The Sandman
If he keeps destroying opponents with his cane, The Sandman will definitely make his POWER 25 debut shortly.
