A Kevin Owens win never stuns us

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 Jan. 25 episode of Monday Night Raw, Tuesday’s Impact & AEW Dark, MLW Fusion, NXT & Dynamite from Weds., Jan. 27, NJPW Strong, SmackDown & 205 Live on Friday, GCW’s Fight Forever stream, NXT UK, ROH TV, WWE’s Superstar Spectacle, New Japan’s New Beginning show, and any other televised or internet streaming wrestling released from Jan. 24 – 30, 2021.

Make YOUR mark, smarks!

Never gets old…

• Sneaking into the building to send a message to the Tribal Chief, placed KO atop a list full of SmackDown Superstars… including the Universal champ himself in the last spot in our Top Ten.
• Just behind the Prizefighter was another perennial S3 fave, here this time for beating up Dolph Ziggler. Surprised he didn’t win for that honestly.
• An Otis-carrying EST, a sommelier submitting BOSS, and a protesting Syrian-Canadian made sure Team Blue was more than half the latest Standings.
• From Wednesday, one show gave us the Master of the FIGHT PIT and a high-flying Ninja Warrior, and an angsty millennial cowboy who decided to go it alone.
• Raw had to reveal a new Fiend-ess to land someone in the top ten.
