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 TLC PPV, the Dec. 16 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday’s Impact, AEW DARK & NWA Powerrr, Dynamite & NXT from Wednesday, Thursday’s NXT UK, SmackDown & 205 Live on Friday, EVOLVE 143, this week’s ROH TV & MLW Fusion, and any other televised or internet streaming wrestling that aired from Dec. 15 - 21, 2019.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Obligatory yowie wowie.
- The Universal champ, his friend Mike, and Mike’s daughter whose nursery he broke into all earned high marks for their pre-TLC work.
- NXT’s new Cruiserweight champ got support for both his big wins on Weds., Dec 11, a night when 2⁄3 of the main event also impressed enough to earn a spot in the top ten.
- Why The Man gets votes was a hot topic in the comments last Sunday. Here it was probably for single-handedly beating up the Women’s Tag champs in a DQ loss.
- Her fiance’s long-awaiting heel turn also got your attention, as did the poor guy who got his ass kicked as part of it.
- Rounding things out was a three-way tie between AEW’s hottest heel and anti-hero face, and Ring of Honor’s amazing new World champ.

We’re in a relative lull for the holidays, but there’s still lots to consider. Like AEW, WWE’s TLC, Raw, SmackDown & NXT, New Japan, Impact, ROH, the world of lucha libre, MLW, the NWA, and/or the greater the indies (where Sermon on the Mat will help, and should earn Claire a perpetual spot on Santa’s nice list).
So pour yourself egg nog, tell us about your wrestling week with clicks and keystrokes below, and we’ll see you back here next Sunday for the last S3 of the calendar year.
