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 five performers you think entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why.
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 Feb. 10-17, 2024 — New Japan’s The New Beginning In Osaka & Fantasica Mania shows with CMLL, Raw, NXT, Powerrr, Dynamite, Impact, Fusion, ROH on HonorClub, SmackDown, Rampage, Level Up, Collision, and everything else I’m no doubt forgetting.
But first, here’s the outcome of last week’s voting, and how those results changed our annual competition for the Cageside Cup.
Point at again, cause you’re still going to the main event of WrestleMania…
- Calling “bullshit” helped the Royal Rumble winner finish just in front of Raw’s petty teller of truths.
- The Iconic half of the AEW’s new Tag champs followed closely behind the top two, with his partner behind a tie between a pair of WWE stars who were just on opposite sides of separate betrayals.
- A time limit draw didn’t prevent the Mogul from getting a title shot.
- The NXT champ and his respected rival (who was also betrayed by one of the folks tied for fourth) both earned spots toward the bottom of the Top Ten.
- Which was rounded out by Roman Reigns’ new partner, and one half of the Dusty Cup-winning Wolf Dogs.

Where there was a discussion in the comments last week about whether this is already a wrap. And while mathematically it is possible for our almost season-long leader to be caught, based on the way this year’s voting has gone it’s extremely unlikely he will be…

Ready to do it again? You can always check the “how to” here if you need it, or ask a question in the comments. The main things you need to know are you have five spots on your ballot, you can’t put the same person in two of them, but you can split a single or multiple spots between multiple wrestlers. Now…
Let’s have those ballots! We’ll take it from there, and see you back here in a week for the results and another vote!
