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 May 13 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown & 205 Live on Tues, May 14, NXT UK & NXT and Beyond’s Uncharted Territory from Wednesday, this week’s Impact, ROH TV & MLW Fusion, New Japan’s Best of the Super-Juniors shows, and any other televised or internet streaming wrestling that aired from May 12 - 18, 2019.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Two title defenses in two nights? That’s our champion...
- And his pal Large Epsilon, who crept his way into the top ten from the injured list by creeping on The Man’s mom via Twitter.
- Speaking of The Man... she finished right behind one of the men Kofi beat during the week in question (who did alright for himself, winning the SmackDown Tag titles the next night). Bex earned your votes both for brawling with Lacey Evans and for playing along with E’s playing.
- Down in NXT, the Bro and the guy who makes us shout BAY-BAY tore up the house in their main event, which is part of why they finished above the guys who Kofi beat in his Tuesday night defense.
- Also finishing in front of both those dudes? The host of Firefly Funhouse.
- Descansa en Paz, Silver King.
