Kevin Owens headbutts his way to the top

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 Sept. 18 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown and 205 Live, NXT and Lucha Underground from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, ROH TV #313 and Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor XV pay-per-view (PPV), and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Sept. 17 - 23, 2017.

Make YOUR mark, smarks!

Been a while since our 2015 - 2016 winner claimed a week, so allow him to celebrate with what The King calls “the chicken dance”...

  • Headbutting the billionaire who came in fifth was just enough to edge out the first ever Mae Young Classic winner.
  • Man, or should I say Monster-handling The Beast and a 16-time WWE champ will get you third place.
  • In addition to the #1 contender for the Universal title, Team Red was well represented by an expectant father, a... sorry - THE Guy who had a really good match with the General Manager’s son and The (got it right this time) Boss for beating the woman who started the Women’s Evolution.
  • Starting the week with a win over The Bullet Club’s Villain and ending it by losing to New Japan’s former Ace is a nice way to spend seven days. Or you could just lose some 8-man tags and defend your IWGP Junior Heavyweight title.
  • Please direct your attention to the TitanTron for my fun and exciting PowerPoint presentation about the change agent who finished ninth.
