Your Voice Matters: How Cageside Seats’ Community Wrestler Rankings Work
What Is This All About?
Imagine a giant wrestling fan club where your opinion decides who the best performers are each week. That’s exactly what the Cageside Seats Community Wrestler Rankings (CCWR) is! Every week, fans like you vote for the five wrestlers who entertained or impressed you the most. Those votes add up all year long to crown a Performer of the Year winner who gets the prestigious Cageside Cup.
Important Point: This isn’t some expert panel or company officials deciding — it’s 100% fan-driven. Your ballot directly shapes the rankings!
This Week’s Voting Window: July 26 – August 1, 2026
You can vote for performances from nationally televised and streaming shows that aired during this period. Here’s what’s included:
- AEW Redemption (PPV)
- WWE Raw
- WWE NXT
- WWE Evolve
- AEW Dynamite
- Impact Wrestling
- ROH on HonorClub
- WWE SmackDown
- MLW Fusion
- AEW Collision
- SummerSlam Night One
- AAA & CMLL weekly shows
- New Japan Pro-Wrestling G1 Climax 36
- Any other wrestling show you watched!
Important Point: If you saw a great match or moment on any wrestling show during these dates — even a small indie stream — it counts!

FAQ: Your Questions Answered
Do I need to watch every show to vote?
Nope! Vote only for what you watched. If you only saw Raw and Dynamite, your ballot only needs wrestlers from those shows.
Can I vote for a tag team or faction?
Yes! You can use a spot for a team (e.g., "2. FTR") — they’ll share the points. Just don’t list both members separately and the team.
What if I forget to vote one week?
No worries! Each week is standalone. Miss one? Jump in next time. But voting weekly helps your favorites climb the annual Cageside Cup standings.
How are points calculated for the Cageside Cup?
Weekly rank = points (1st = 10, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 5, 4th = 3, 5th = 2, ties split points). These add up all year. Full math is in the rules link.
Can I change my ballot after posting?
Best to get it right the first time! But if you edit your comment before the counting starts (usually a day or two later), it’ll count. Just reply to your own comment if you need to fix something.
