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 83, the April 24 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from April 23 - 29, 2017.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
If you like him so much, why don’t you marry him?

- That sexy beast teamed with a Giant to wreck a ring, and become the leading candidate to start our “year” off with a big lead.
- On the week in question, Tuesday night crowned a couple new #1 contenders who landed in our top ten, while an old favorite who earned that status the week before impressed as usual.
- Before Strowman & Show sent John Cone (who just missed placing) flying, Raw got a new #1 contender for their Women’s belt, and the Lunatic Fringe impressed by selling us a feud we weren’t sure we wanted to see again.
- The Perfect Ten said goodbye to Full Sail with the big win which had long alluded him.
- Unstoppable force met immovable object at Evolve 82, and you should probably just go watch their match right now if you haven’t already.

We’ll count ‘em up (which is getting to be a real chore now that so many of y’all are voting, let me tell you) and see you here next Sunday!
