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 Jan. 21 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown & 205 Live on Tues, Jan. 22, NXT UK, NXT & ROH TV from Wednesday, TakeOver: Phoenix, and any other internet streaming wrestling that aired from Jan. 20 - 26, 2019.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
A chance to regain the Universal title with a match against Brock Lesnar on a ‘Big 4’ PPV AND a S3 win? It’s all happening for you, bud!
- It’s also happening for the former Cien (thanks to a win over Rey Mysterio), Lio Rush’s man (thanks to an Intercontinental title win) and The Boss (thanks to getting a chance to remind us she’s The Boss).
- The Women atop the blue brand took turns beating up IIconics, while the WWE champ got his ass handed to him at a hot dog stand. But he actually ended up with more votes.
- A pair of main roster call-ups made an impression, as did the main event of Evolve 119.
- Chris Hero is still, on occasion, nothing to f*** with.
