Randy Orton should be higher

[Kate]

It's good to see Chavo Guerrero on the top 25 list, i've always liked him he just needs a PUSH! **cough cough**

[Moobs]

Seems a fair list. I think Orton should be higher.

[Brad]

Orton should be a lot higher, and batista is obviously number 2 because he is champion, which seems wrong because booker T had a better week then Batista, same applies to Randy Orton.

[ringer]

Their are far better wrestlers in the WWE than Cena and Bastia why do they always appear at number 1, and 2. nice to see Trish in the power of 25, as she does work hard.

One word - Champions.

[TPIB]

As afore mentioned the list is all about status. Angle was in the top 5 for the longest time, mostly because of his track record. Same w/ Ric Flair, it's just because he's in standing of being the IC Champion. Batista hasn't even defended the title since like the SmackDown! before Survivor Series, I understand he's injured, but I think the WWE should go against Batista deciding to put off surgery and grant Orton the title. It's hurting SmackDown! and UPN's ratings when their World Champion can't even defend the title. I mean, look at RAW, Cena has defended the title 2 nights in a row and both in matches that were stacked against him. Granted, Cena is way too over and is being put ahead of worthy contenders such as Kurt Angle & Triple H, but WWE is so intent on initiating this "youth movement" (as Coach would call it), that they are being neglectful towards the established superstars. Cena deserves to be in the top 5, but #1? I don't think so.

[MrFill]

Are you saying that they should "force" DAVE~! to have the surgery?

 

The problem with putting the strap on Orton is that he's not over enough to be the Champ. If Eddie was still around, putting the strap on him would have been perfect as he was the most over person on the show.

[Fidel Cashflow]

Ric Flair- Intercontinental Champion; Officially had the 'Worst Week Ever'

 

Nice

[Danny Styles]

IMO Orton should be number one.. sole survivor and killed Taker :P... it's always Cena top then Batista theres no variation

[TPIB]

I'm not saying force Batista to have the surgery, I'm saying have a champion who can defend the title like a champion. Orton has payed his dues and he deserves to be World Champion again, since his 1'st run was just a play off of Triple H's heat.

[Proudy]

This list really is a pile of crap!!! Cena Number 1 and Batista 2 :eek :eek

[MrFill]

Hang on, paid his dues? He's been in the company 4 years.

 

How exactly is that "Paying Your Dues"?

 

In which case, Edge should be the SuperMegaUltra World Champ, Kane should be Champion of the Universe and Undertaker should be He Who Rules Everybody and Everything Champion.

:P

[TPIB]

Your a real mature one, I can tell. Anyways let's determine who is the better champion Randy Orton or Batista:

 

Credentials:

Orton: Former Intercontinental Champion (Champion for almost 7 months) & Youngest World Heavyweight Champion in History; Third Generation Superstar; Legend Killer; Holds wins over Undertaker & Mick Foley.

 

Batista: 2-Time World Tag Champion & Reigning World Champion; 2005 Royal Rumble Winner; Holds wins over Randy Orton & 3-wins over Triple H including Hell in a Cell; The Animal.

 

Judge for yourself, I think Orton is better than Batista. 2005 is coming to a close and so is Batista's title reign, Batista's days of being champion are numbered or should I say months.......................3 months and counting.

 

Also, who was featured on the 1'st SmackDown! Vs. RAW game facing off w/ John Cena? Batista? No, it was RKO, Randy Orton. Plus, Batista has some horrible mic skills. Now, I was a huge Batista mark but anymore, he's a joke.

[Drake]

Wait, do people actually take the Top 25 serious ?

[Chris2K]

Orton: Takes a dump in the bags of girls that don't know who he is.

 

Batista: Ignores medical advice and keeps wrestling with a serious injury.

 

Undertaker should be He Who Rules Everybody and Everything Champion.

:P

 

Should be? Did you WATCH SmackDown!?

[MrFill]

Yes, let's look at them as a Champion.

 

Orton's World Championship reign lasted for 1 month, one whole month. He couldn't even successfully defend it at a PPV.

 

DAVE~! has sucessfully defended the title on many occasions.

 

Orton has needed "daddy" to help him beat Taker on multiple occasions.

 

DAVE~! has beaten HHH, JBL (the man who holds the longest reign in 10 years) and others.

 

 

So, who is the Main Event level person? Daddy's boy or the Animal?

[TPIB]

Wait' date=' do people actually take the Top 25 serious ?[/quote']

 

It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's just some dude's opinion on who he thinks should be the top 25 based on who they are and what titles they hold or have held.

[Sav]

It's the dumbest list in wrestling today.

[TPIB]

Well, if I am allowed to do so, I'm going to start posting MY list of the top 25 superstars of the week every Saturday. I'm also going to post a top 50 superstars of the year list on Saturday, Dec. 31 (New Year's Eve).
