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.
Remember, the Standings are for the previous week's nationally televised pro wrestling shows - the Labor Day (Sept 2) episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Wednesday night's WWE Main Event, TNA Impact from September 5th and the WWE SmackDown that aired on Friday the 6th.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!

You smarks are really making me work for images to put here, but sometimes it pays off...
Methinks their careers went in slightly different directions after this was released. And such a "battle" would probably be brief. And, damn, DB was handsome when he groomed.
⢠Pipebombshell worked for more than just me and rancho, earning the Divas champ her best finish of the year.
⢠The Chief Operating Officer is getting much better reviews as the heel of the main story than the WWE champion. But a member of The Shield had his annual point total change for the first time in months as a result of their raised profile (and his usual stellar ring work).
⢠Before he cried a lot, we were intrigued by Big Show's role against the regime.
⢠CM Punk and Paul Heyman are so good on the stick that we almost get bored by it.
⢠The other AJ got some love for the other pipebomb of the week, and The It Factor remains one of the best things about a promotion adrift.
