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 - New Japan’s Kizuna Road shows, the June 17 episode of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown & 205 Live on Tues, June 18, NXT UK & NXT and Beyond’s Uncharted Territory from Wednesday, this week’s Impact, ROH TV & MLW Fusion, and any other televised or internet streaming wrestling that aired from June 16 - 22, 2019.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!

- Four of the top five are the same as in Week 9, but the new IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champ and the IWGP U.S. champ swapped spaces, as did the host of Firefly Funhouse and the co-host of Dance Breaks.
- Breaking up that repeat quartet was the return of Large Epsilon, who picked up right where he left off - winning and celebrating winning with his brothers.
- Another familiar face showed up in sixth, then it got interesting.
- Ibushi almost died, but he didn’t get enough votes to place. Naito did, because he took his IWGP Intercontinental title back from the Golden Star.
- The Aerial Assassin didn’t deliver a must see match at Dominion by himself, and you recognized the luchador who danced with him for his good works.
- Pulling double duty on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Philadelphia Stretcher impressed. As did the leader and newest member of NXT UK’s version of Ringkampf.

It was what passes for a slow week, but there was still plenty of work to consider. We’ve got coverage of All Elite, Raw, NXT, SmackDown, New Japan, MLW, and the independent scene (which is easier to navigate if you read Sermon on the Mat every week), if it helps.
But however you make your selections, tell us about them below. We’ll crunch the numbers and see you back here next Sunday.
