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 Nov. 5 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown on Tues, Nov. 6, NXT UK, 205 Live, Lucha Underground, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, Evolve 115 - 116, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Nov. 4 - 10, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!

- It was Evolution, babies! Appropriately, the ladies took up half our top ten - leading off with the Man and the Queen for their performances in the Last Woman Standing showstealer.
- Winners of the other title fights on WWE’s first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view (PPV) filled in behind them, with NXT leading the way. The 2018 Mae Young Classic final winner came next, and then the Raw Women’s champ.
- Aside from the Nature Girl, the black-and-yellow brand’s Pirate Princess was the only woman who failed to win her battle for a belt who charted. And The Boss made the cut in a non-title match, because she’s The Boss.
- Crown Jewel wasn’t shut out, although it could be argued the WWE champ is on here for his impromptu defense the Tuesday before as much as for beating Samoa Joe again in Riyadh.
- The new Universal champ’s votes probably came for winning the strap in Saudi Arabia though, but the new WWN champ got more love for than the Beast for his 4Way Ladder match win to capture the title.
