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 87, the June 26 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, NXT, Lucha Underground & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, New Japan’s G1 Special (night one) and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from June 25 - July 1, 2017.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
There’s a new It Couple in your Standings!

- Even before she won it again, you gave Ms. Money in the Bank more props than her boss did. And you like a certain hot fire spittin’ lass as her babyface foil, too.
- NXT’s hard-hitting main event actually got more love than the men’s battle for the briefcase, although the winner and the hero who returned from injury to nearly foil him did get varying degrees of support.
- Over on Raw, you dug the latest tag team break-up, one half of a Samoan showdown, and the return of the monster who’s not finished with said Samoan.
- Love him or not, you respect the American Nightmare for doing it his way.
