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 - WWE’s Fastlane pay-per-view (PPV), the Mar. 12 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown, Mixed Match Challenge and 205 Live, NXT from Wednesday, ROH TV #338, Thursday’s Impact Wrestling, New Japan’s New Japan Cup shows, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Mar. 11 - 17, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Don’t tell me this tag team won’t work. Look at the history!

- The latest duet between last week’s winner and the eighth place finisher may have ended with The Drifter headed to the hospital, but I still think they can make up and make it work in time for WrestleMania, don’t you?
- The Boss can make all the saves she wants, out Hugster is growing up and standing on her own.
- Rounding out the usual red brand majority, Rowdy impressed by opening the show with a Samoan Drop type thing. A Samoan closed the show with a powerful verbal message to the absent champ’s advocate.
- Not a lot of love for Team Blue (exactly as much as for the Cruiserweights and thier underdog du jour, and TNA’s Knockouts and theirs), but The Likeable One picking up a ‘go home’ show pin against his old friend/enemy earned him his higherst finish of the year.
