Everybody who comes to Cageside Seats has an opinion about what's going on in pro wrestling - The Smark's Shoot Standings (S3) are where YOU let us know YOURS.
Cast a vote in the comments. Give us the three performers you think entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why. And/or vote for your top performer in our poll.
We also have the outcome of last week's voting, the results of which make up our annual competition for Performer of the Year. The top ten from last week and the year-to-date are below.
Remember, the Standings are for the previous week's nationally televised pro wrestling shows - WWE's TLC pay-per-view (PPV), the December 16th episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Wednesday night's WWE Main Event, TNA Impact from December 19th and the WWE SmackDown that aired on Friday, December 20th.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!

The internet has been rendered in twain. Hell hath frozen over. Smarkdom will never be the same.
You were expecting something that ends in LOL?
• Yep. Now he's won everything. And he stole the heat of the guy in second place to do it. Right, haters?
• The Best in the World got the better of the Hounds of Justice, who all impressed to various degrees with their own stylings last week.
• I feel like I should create a second "Performer of the Year" award for TNA, because The It Factor would be about to win his second straight. That he may never get the exposure he deserves is a kick to the nether regions, as surely as the one he delivered to Kurt Angle during the Impact from which these votes came.
• Also down at Universal Studios, Austin Aries sleep walked his way to a few points with his latest X-Division title win.
• Hey, if a product placement can earn Standings points, why can't a crowd? Come to think of it, Cena probably stole some of Seattle's heat, too.
• I'd of thought a win on PPV might have gotten a few more votes for Bray, but maybe that crab walk scared you Smarks too much.
