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 Dec. 10 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown on Tues, Dec. 11, NXT UK, 205 Live, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor’s Final Battle pay-per-view (PPV), Evolve 117, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Dec. 9 - 15, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
So what if we are?
- It worked out well for you, New DB.
- And it continues to work out well for the ladies of the blue brand, with the champ, her Queenly constant challenger, the Empress who earned her way into this weekend’s TLC match and the wrestler who put her hair up, squared up and almost shocked the world making last week’s Standings.
- There were dudes, but those came from WWE’s other brands. An always popular Irishman led a babyface resurgence on Raw, the Show-Off pulled an upset and a guy who doesn’t want to be called a lunatic dressed like Bane & added an air raid siren to his entrance theme.
- Meanwhile on the black-and-yellow, 2⁄3 of a dynamite main event promo duel got nods (sorry Johnny).

Points in our weekly Standings determine our annual list - full details on rules and scoring HERE.
Where the WWE champ leaped into the top three, the middle of the top ten is a mess of former NXT champs and don’t-call-him-Lunatic slipped into a tie for tenth.
