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 four 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 and internet streaming pro wrestling shows - Evolve 55 & WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view (PPV) from Jan. 24, the Jan. 25 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's TNA Impact, Wednesday's Lucha Underground, WWE NXT and ROH TV, Thursday's SmackDown, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Jan. 24 - 30, 2016.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
The only way this picture could better represent Week 43 would be if The Wyatt Family ran in and destroyed it.

- The Lasskicker burned the Nature Boy with hot fire, and torched her competition with another domination of the voting.
- WWE's "Quick! Make them look like main eventers!" booking of the Eater of Worlds and his right-hand man made you say "YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH".
- Sure, it's great to watch you and the Lunatic Fringe beat the crap out of each other, but... COMMENTATE OWENS COMMENTATE
- Four men did their best to steal the show at the first Evolve show of the weekend, and they all got some love from you Smarks. But the one dude who hit a bunch of piledrivers on that other dude? Y'all really liked them.
- It technically happened the Saturday before, but we Yanks can't tell time let alone figure out time zones and upload schedules, so we're recognizing the 30 minute classic that determined RevPro's new #1 contender from High Stakes.
