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 SummerSlam pay-per-view (PPV), the Aug. 20 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday's SmackDown & 205 Live, Lucha Underground, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, Thursday's Impact Wrestling, AAA’s Triplemania and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Aug. 19 - 25, 2018.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!

- TakeOver took over, but not to the extent it has in the past. Chalk it up to a lot of different performances people liked. The new champs took the prize, though.
- Loveable losers from Undisputed ERA and Moustache Mountain both made quite an impression, though.
- As did big winners like the son of a b!+ch who kept his NXT Title, and the brash young s.o.b. who asked Vince for a call-up.
- Mixed in there was pre-heel turn(?) Lasskicker, a returning Lunatic who probably would have won most other weeks and an Ace who captured his third G1 Climax trophy.
- We also had just a tiny bit of #Yessir at the bottom.

Weigh in with your favorite performances from SummerSlam, Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Lucha Underground, Impact, New Japan, Ring of Honor and the indies. Use Kyle Decker’s Weekly Viewing Guide to make sure you didn’t forget anything. Then vote!
We’ll take it from there.
