It’s still a little unexpected when smarks pick John Cena

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 - episodes 5 - 8 of the Mae Young Classic, the Sept. 4 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown and 205 Live, NXT and Lucha Underground from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, ROH TV #311, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Sept. 3 - 9, 2017.

Make YOUR mark, smarks!

This is what happens when you’re tabbing results in week 22, you hear BRRRAPPLEDOUGH and youknowwho claims his first points of the year by topping the weekly Standings:

Never give up.

  • A holiday weekend left us with a few fewer votes than normal, but the usual wide range of recipients we’ve come to expect in 2017...
  • The MYC gave the Free Agent his biggest challenge, but he kicked out a Diving Elbow Drop. Good thing the Alpha Female lost her first round match, or she might have taken him out.
  • A hot, feud-ending main event earned spots for the former NXT champ and the man who will next challenge for that belt.
  • Big Dogs arguing over the yard wasn’t the only thing which caught your eye on Monday night... a new Women’s champ and Brother Nero earning a shot at the Intercontinental belt impressed, too.
  • Over on the blue brand, getting out of a long-title feud was just what a certain Prizefighter needed, while an Artiste is making the most of his spotlight (even if it’s coming at a smark favorite’s expense).

The S3: 2017 - 18, Week 22

Woohoo - wrestling! Think about all we got last week, more MYC, Raw, Smackdown, 205 Live, NXT, Lucha Underground, Impact, and whatever else Rev might have helped you find online - then hit us with your picks to click.

Or that already clicked, I guess.

Whatever! Just vote! We’ll handle the rest.
