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 June 11 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, last night‘s TakeOver: Chicago 2 and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from June 10 - 16, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
The new IWGP Heavyweight Champ will accept a Standings win, but first...
- Dominion dominated the vote, with both men in the main event finishing in the top three, and two of New Japan’s other new titleholders in our latest S3 (sorry, Matt and Nick, you’ll have to make due with the belts and that hug).
- Even from SmackDown, it was a very Japanese week. A former NJPW star made it into the Top 10 for getting an old Bullet Club leader to slap him. Meanwhile, fka Kana won a handicap match, got laid out by Carmella and still got your love.
- As did The Lasskicker, for beating someone The Princess of Staten Island has beaten twice.
- The Intercontinental Champ ended up in a handicap match, but couldn’t pull out the win.
- Those #DIY boys sure do know how to brawl.

Where the see-saw battle at the top swings back to Nak, and rapid turnover remains the name of the game in the back half of the yearly ten...
