March 26, 2013

The Shield ESPN.com has revealed this week's WWE Power Rankings, and below are the top 5:

1. The Shield

2. Ryback

3. Mark Henry

4. The Rock

5. Jack Swagger

ESPN also commented on the dead crowd in Philly and took a shot at the booking of WrestleMania by posting the following:

For a company that prides itself on listening to its fans, I wonder how much weight it gives to 3 hours and 20 minutes of near silence (except for the very loud 'You can't wrestle' chant aimed at Fandango, even if he did deliver a sweet flying leg drop). I think the dead crowd speaks volumes about the upcoming WrestleMania card and the lazy booking that goes along with setting up a string of rematches people weren't really clamoring to see in the first place.
