My bad, haven’t been paying attention to the Power Rankings.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Power Rankings, here’s what WWE.com has to say:
WWE.com, in conjunction with the Academy of Wrestling Arts & Sciences (AWAS), ranks the Top 25 Superstars in WWE each week with Power Rankings. The rankings are based on victories, quality of opponents, momentum and overall in-ring dominance, as well as intangibles.
In other words, this is all some seriously subjective bullshit!
But hey, anything that’s Brothers of Destruction related, we’re there!
So, Kane’s last entrance in the Power 25 rankings was on the 23 November 2013 list:
At which time, they’d finally changed his image to the Corporate Kane one.
Then he disappeared from our TVs, and from the rankings. Now, apparently Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio can keep hold of their spots on the ranking without competing or appearing on TV. Even Big Show can.
Kane? Not so much.
It appears that moving into management removes Kane from contention in the rankings. Despite actually taking part in matches, he only rates a mention as part of other Superstars’ rankings.
To whit:
As CM Punk’s nemesis prior to the Royal Rumble (and Punk’s walkout the day after):
Rankings for 18 January 2014:
Rankings for 25 January 2014:
And then as DBryan’s nemesis (once Creative gathered their scattered wits after Punk’s walkout)
Rankings for 15 February 2014:
Rankings for 22 February 2014:
Rankings for 1 March 2014:
So yes, I has a sad that Corporate Kane doesn’t rate a spot on the rankings.
On the other hand, the Undertaker shows back up and …
Rankings for 1 March 2014:
… boom! Straight to #9!
Well at least this way, we don’t have to watch the fairly blatant favouritism of ‘Taker over Kane play out in the rankings each week.
