Everybody who comes to Cageside Seats has an opinion about what's going on in pro wrestling - Wrestler Rankings 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 the Cageside Cup, given to our Performer of the Year.
This week, we’re voting on nationally televised and internet streaming pro wrestling shows that took place Aug. 28-Sept. 3 — Night two of NWA 74, Raw, Dark: Elevation, Dark, NXT, Dynamite, Fusion, Powerrr, NXT UK, Impact, SmackDown, Rampage, Level Up, NJPW Strong, WWE Clash at the Castle, and anything else I’m forgetting.
But first, here’s the outcome of last week’s voting, and how those results changed our annual competition for the Cageside Cup.
Tell ‘em, champ...
- Unifying your company’s top title in under five minutes will get you more support than returning home or earning a match against the person you’ve been trying for years to prove you’re better than.
- Everybody’s favorite Bloodline member and a psycho kidnapper/star crossed lover fill in the top five.
- We’ve got some fans of Machine Gun (mostly from the poll, but with a couple comment voters, too) who wanted honor the end of his Impact run.
- The NWA Women’s champ and a woman who won a WWE main event that included a lego spot finished in a dead heat.
- Our latest top ten includes a couple guys picking fights with big men, but only one had his ride or die roll up to get his back.
