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 NWA 70 pay-per-view (PPV), the Oct. 22 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown on Tues, Oct. 16, NXT UK, 205 Live, Lucha Underground, NXT, the Mae Young Classic & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Oct. 21 - 27, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
A fearless girl...

... and The Champ.
- In addition to this year’s runaway winner, the blue brand’s big party also gave us Big Dave getting the hero’s welcome he’s always deserved (to hopefully set-up the farewell match he’s always wanted) and new tag champs!
- We’re not sure what the ladies of NXT are doing at Evolution tonight, but in last Sunday’s vote they were getting your support for having secrets, giving their all despite injury and keeping the un-de-feat-ed streaks alive.
- The Celtic Colossus is standing up to everyone on Mondays, and you’re in favor of all the match-ups it could lead to.
- And in a very interesting tie, the new Impact World champ ended in a dead heat with Raw’s Women’s champ after her best delivered promo, even if it had some controversial content.

Here, let’s just focus on what happened on last week’s shows like Raw, Smackdown, NXT, the MYC, Lucha Underground, Impact, New Japan and the indies (where you can make sure you didn’t miss anything by checking Sermon on the Mat).
