This Week's Wrestlespective Power Poll

Almost, Miz, almost.


It's time for the Wrestlespective Power Poll! again this week, and atop the proceedings is not one of the World Champions, not one of the super main eventers, but someone really, really awesome. Let's get to the list:

1. The Miz (3)
2. Randy Orton (4)
3. Sheamus (2)
4. Kane (1)
5. Rey Mysterio (8)
6. Rob Van Dam (5)
7. John Cena (6)
8. Chris Jericho (10)
9. Big Show (NR)
10. Wade Barrett (7)

Of course, my ballot looked nothing like that. I mean, are we just giving Rob Van Dam points for being TNA World Champion, or are people actually enjoying TNA and their blatant pandering to the past? I dunno. Plus, Barrett so wasn't the star of that match and Nexus segments on that side, it was totally Mr. Yip Yip Yip, Whut It Do, Shooooooooooooooot. Still, that's why we all have ballots, and mine might get similar mocking, so without further ado...

My Ballot

1. Tyler Black - Yes, I dislike the guy, but he apparently put on three great matches this week, and given that it was almost like having three ROH PPVs in a row, I think I feel justified giving him the top spot on my ballot this week.

2. Kane - Dropping him from the top of my ballot last week, but only by one spot. The dude killed it on Smackdown, opening with a hellaciously awesome promo, the best of his career, and closing by stalking poor Rey Mysterio and Jack SWAGGAH~!.

3. The Miz - Easily the top performer on RAW this week, and well-deserving of his spot at the top of the aggregate poll.

4. Bryan Danielson - The dude put on two hellacious matches according to all observers this weekend in two swelteringly hot arenas.

5. Magno - Some Lucha Libre USA love here. Magno gets props for his match against RJ Brewer and the awesome finish, where he removed his mask and got Brewer DQed in one of the most entertaining finishes of the year.

6. Chuck Taylor - He defeated Jimmy Jacobs to stay undefeated in EVOLVE, had a good performance during and after his match in Chikara. Plus I feel bad for snubbing him for a handshake at the end of the show Sunday.

7. Randy Orton - I wasn't as impressed as the voters at large with a squash of Jey Uso and throwing around RKOs like they were softballs at a beer league game, but hey, he was prominent on RAW.

8. RJ Brewer - This dude is going to be one of the best heels of the year on wrestling TV before it's all over, and he's got the chops in the ring to back it up. Great pseudo-commercial spot on the LLUSA broadcast and he held up his end of the bargain in the match with Magno.

9. Michael McGillicutty - Winning the NXT obstacle course has to count for something, right?

10. Skip Sheffield - He's on here almost solely because of that lariat countering Tyson Kidd's springboard. Plus, he's pretty fucking awesome to boot and deserves some recognition.
