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 Jan. 22 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown, Mixed Match Challenge and 205 Live, NXT from Wednesday, ROH TV #331, Impact Wrestling, TakeOver: Philadelphia, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Jan. 21 - 27, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
For our back-to-back winner, from his friends in catering:

- Rain even moderate levels of destruction on Raw? You’ll do pretty well. Stop for cake? You’ll do so well you’ll bring an extra from catering into The S3 with you.
- The MMC winners did well, too. In fact, you liked their winning partnership on Tuesday enough to overcome their Monday night losses.
- An old finisher and a fun mixed tag title reign did wonders for The Architect and his partner, while one of the other guys he’s held pairs gold continued to rack up points in his Intercontinental championship program with the returning A-Lister.
- Team Blue blew off their U.S. title tournament, but you thought the winner deserved some Glory nonetheless.
- Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling brought the babyface fire on Wednesday, and you noticed.
