The top four seeds all managed to retain. Chris Jericho is pulling out even farther ahead of the pack with the help of his main-event win. Rob Van Dam grabs two key wins in two day to push himself up a spot. The man he traded with, William Regal, falls a spot following his tap-out on RAW. Regal isn't too far behind RVD, and with rumors of them fighting at Wrestlemania, he may be heading up again soon. There's a gap right after those three and the next three wrestlers are all very close to each other. The Rock found himself in the number four slot despite being killed on RAW. His win over the Undertaker helped all his categories out, especially his quality points. Kurt Angle scored one of the biggest wins of his career at No Way Out. The next night however, he had to hand back the win, causing his record to fall back to .500 and he fell a spot. DDP continues his slow climb twoards the top of the rankings with a defense of the Euro title on Heat. I really don't see him getting much higher unless he starts going after some better opponents. For an detailed explanation for the categories please check the first set of rankings Also, look out for next week's rankings, because I've got Robert Ortega Jr. showing me all about PDF files, so it should look more detailed and spiffy.
