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 29 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 May 28 - June 3, 2017.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
He won’t be a “Basic Superstar” when his next figure comes out!

- With Backlash starting the week that was, it’s not surprising Team Blue dominated the Standings... starting at the top with their new champ, and modern day Maharajah.
- From there, it’s a lot of love for tag teams - including the juggernaught which is the Fashion Police, and the half of the champs who threw Susan’s dress at JBL.
- Swagsuke & The Phenomenal One had impressive singles showings on PPV, but it was their Tuesday night team-up that really got smarks sensing tingling.
- Given how much you love the former Tommy End crushing people, we can’t wait to see what happens when he gets an actual program in NXT.
- The other Sunday night show got a lot of love, too - especially the Evolve title match.
- There was some glory being basked in, as well. Not enough to get his opponent, Fred Yehi, on the list instead of AJ and 205 Live’s big Street Fight winner, though.
