We love Kevin Owens, too

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 Mar. 19-25 — Raw, Dark: Elevation, Dark, NXT, Underground, Dynamite, Powerrr, ROH TV, Impact, SmackDown, Rampage, Level Up, NJPW Strong, 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.

Us too.

• You might remember there was a hug that happened later in the night after that GIF. Said hug also came after a great promo exchange between an Uce and an ex-honorary Uce. The whole thing gave us our latest Top Three.
• A debuting challenger for AEW’s TBS title and the All-Atlantic-turned-International king round out the Top Five.
• A father got credit for not punching his son (yet. He did punch a guy named LA, though… YEAH). And while some of his support may been deliberately disruptive, the Nigerian Giant did stare down a Beast.
• Dangerous Darbs stood out in Dynamite’s Four Pillars scene, a rising Impact star won GCW’s top prize, and the Anxious Millennial Cowboy found himself at the center of some Elite drama.
