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 SummerSlam, the Aug. 24 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday’s Impact & Dark, NXT from Weds., Aug. 26, Thursday’s Dynamite, SmackDown & 205 Live on Friday, New Japan’s Summer Struggle shows, and any other televised or internet streaming wrestling that aired from Aug. 23 - 29, 2020.
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
NXT took half the spots in the top ten, but the new TNT champ was the one standing tall after Saturday night. At least in The S3...
- As mentioned, the next four after The Exalted One were two guys who won titles at TakeOver: XXX, a woman who retained hers, and a motor mouth with a boomstick for a leg who exceeded all expectations.
- Then it was love for someone who delivered her usual strong promo when most of us probably wouldn’t have even been at work, and The Golden Role Models worst nightmare.
- Also from Saturday, a Prinxe who added to his TakeOver wins record, and a young gun who cosplayed like his rival to get drop on said rival.
- We’ve always got room for an “And NEW...” In this case, it was the Intercontinental champ rounding out the top ten.
