• Edge and Christian Cage were added to the top 12 cumulative, forcing out Awesome Kong and James Storm.
• This reduced the net TNA talents on the list by one, bringing the TNA/WWE proportion down from 7/5 to 6/6.

• Edge went up an impressive 25 slots and Undertaker 30.
• The Beautiful People only went up 3 slots, but they were bubbling under, so this was enough to get them on the 6-Week Running top 12.
• The three of them displace Chris Jericho, Roxxi LaVeaux, and Kaz.
• This reduced the TNA/WWE proportion from 9/3 to 8/4.

• Smackdown! topped the Brand Rankings for the first time since Wrestlemania week.
• Even in a weak week, TNA was still able to beat Raw.
  
• dxb and The Dead--the top TNA supporters in our balloting group--submitted ballots balanced between TNA and WWE for the first time since Week 0.
• The only balloter to strongly favor TNA over WWE this week was Produce....

Now that's funny. Also, it appears that, for now, I have taken the mantle of King TNA Wank. Now I finally feel fulfilled in life.

Haha, figured I'd go ahead and make a 12-pack sig for myself. :-) Whatcha think?

Untill next week ;D

[jetskid48]

I know this is going to fuck up the ratings heavily...but there's no way Big Show should be considered anything but Smackdown at this point. He doesn't really show up on Raw ever...he's actually listed on the Smackdown roster (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/bigshow/) - primarily wrestling on that show for the past two months, and him showing up on ECW just goes with the brand split and is basically the same thing as when Chavo was going back and forth. He really isn't crossing the brands anymore and does have a designated program he has belonged to for a while.

Coming up next for The Dead: 12 straight weeks of nothing but TNA votes. You'll never catch me!

[Byrntrigan]

I want a recount! Recount I say!

[Batman]

JETS: Mmm, I don't know. Is there anything other than the website that says that he has committed to the Smackdown brand? When he first showed back up he called himself a free agent, and there hasn't been anything on-screen to indicate that that has changed. While it's true that because of the talent sharing agreement he could be going after the ECW title as a SD! talent.

But equally he could still be a free agent who goes wherever he pleases, and just hasn't had a reason to go on Raw in a while.

But if the consensus is that he should be considered SD!, I'd be happy to fix it.

Awesome. I dig it.

[Lucky]

Big Show is SD in my book. That's been bugging me since WM week because he was listed as a SD wrestler and was appearing there more than he was on RAW. He came in to feud with a SD wrestler in Rey. His last feud was with a SD wrestler in Khali. His current feuds appear to be a SD wrestler in Mark Henry and for the ECW title, which just makes him a SD wrestler since the last two ECW champs were SD wrestlers until after they won the title and were moved over.

Show is, at the very least, a SD/ECW wrestler. Considering that he has shown up on SD WAY more than ECW and WWE.com actually says he's a SD member it just seems a given to me. Its how I've been ranking him and its part of why when I try and compare my rankings to Serg's they always seem so fucked up.

[Batman]

All right, I'll go back and switch Show over to Smackdown.

You really have separate and alternate rankings?

[Lucky]

Kinda. Originally Serg and I were supposed to keep separate books and cross reference them to make sure we stay correct. Really, Serg was just being nice and giving me something to do. But I got lazy and fell behind. Mostly I just like to play around with numbers and try and learn Excel.
