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 - the May 8 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, New Japan and Ring of Honor’s War of the Worlds pay-per-view (PPV) and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from May 7 - 13, 2017.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Why did it take a month for Little Miss Bliss to win a week?

Rude.
- Five Feet of Fury, and the new red belt she won, led the representation from WWE’s latest pay-per-view (PPV) - which also included the
guysbehemoth and large canine who brawled through the Payback main event and beyond. - The feud for the United States title spanned two nights and brands. While the departing Y2J didn’t leave with the belt, he earned a few more votes as a send-off.
- Also from Tuesday, you loved the Fashion Files... and a certain Lasskicker playing mind games (even if they didn’t really work).
- NXT’s Empress is setting records and taking out competitors.
- Rev wasn’t the only one who really dug Ishii/Omega at Dontaku 2017, but only one of those guys is the Cleaner.
