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 July 17 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, NXT, Lucha Underground from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, ROH TV #304, New Japan’s G1 Climax shows and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from July 16 - 22, 2017.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
- What a difference a few months make... Monday nights clearly dominate our Standings these days, with everyone involved in the main event scene, plus the tag champs and the woman who beat the Women’s champ at Great Balls of Fire, making it a nearly clean sweep for Team Red.
- Tuesday’s didn’t get completely shut out. The U.S. champ picked up a win and shared a moment with an old rival, helping him split a point with a guy who interacted with the Fashion Police (or someone was trolling the poll - for folks who wonder why the S3 weighs the poll the way it does).
- The War Machine member with two names represents for Progress, and non-WWE feds in general, with his performance from 51.

Fashion Files is still great, but Breezango’s days at the top look to be numbered. Monday night’s main eventers are making this year’s Standings their yard...
