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. 1 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown and 205 Live, NXT from Wednesday, ROH TV #328, Impact Wrestling and New Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 pay-per-view (PPV) from Jan. 4, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Dec 31, 2017 - Jan. 6, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
It’s almost like you voted for yourselves last week...
YOU never lost faith in me.. YOU supported me through the ups and the downs.. YOU never lost hope.

Tonight. WE did it.
WE are going to the Main Event of #NXTTakeOver: Philadelphia! #NumberOneContender
- The other three men in NXT’s #1 contender’s showdown all earned your respect too.
- Sadly, even on his day, The Handsome One is always a bridesmaid.
- Yep, he’s better than Phenomenal. At least you thought so after the Dec. 26 episode of the blue brand.
- The night before (some call it Christmas) you celebrated with new Raw tag champs, a walk in Chicago with The Drifter and The Big Dog kicking much ass.

WWE’s getting ready to Rumble, but the week that includes Jan. 4 probably won’t be dominated by The ‘E. That’s up to you, though. Consider Raw, Smackdown, 205 Live, NXT, Impact, New Japan and everything else that streaming online, then weigh in below.
We’ll take it from there.
