1. Daniel Bryan (Last week: 1)
2. CM Punk (2)
3. Dolph Ziggler (Not rated)
4. Kane (8)
5. Zack Ryder (3)
6. R-Truth (NR)
7. Booker T (NR)
8. Sheamus (9)
9. Big Show (4)
10. The Ghan-Am Connection (Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne) (10)
And now, my rankings...
1. Kevin Steen - The only way Kevin Steen would've been cooler at Final Battle is if he rode in on a hoverboard, gave out free sandwiches to everyone in the crowd, and then performed Luigi's Final Smash from Super Smash Bros.: Brawl during his match with Steve Corino. The thing is, I wouldn't put it past him to at least attempt it.
2. The Briscoe Brothers - Them winning the ROH Tag Team Championships is like Bill Gates hitting Power Ball. That being said, I find something strangely endearing about these rednecks from Slower Lower, despite the racism and the xenophobia and the lack of teeth.
3. Daniel Bryan - Stock Daniel Bryan Ranking ®, Top 3 Edition (tm)
4. Johnny Gargano - He proves that good things CAN come out of Cleveland, even if it's still funny as fuck to play the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism videos from time to time. See our river that caught on fire. It's so polluted that all our fish have AIDS.
5. Dolph Ziggler - The victory lap he did with the WWE Championship Monday was just another example in the reasons why he should hold that title for realsies. Actually, I think RAW Monday shouldn't even bother with the surprise or Kane's worst reasoning for wanting to maim John Cena or even Zack Ryder and just have Punk and Ziggler wrestle a best of five series all night.
6. John Laurinitis - He would've gotten the #1 ranking if he had set the gauntlet up to be his old running buddies Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada and the zombie Mitsuharu Misawa (who would've been Shane Douglas in a shitload of makeup).
7. CM Punk - Johnny Ace ahead of CM Punk this week?
8. Robert Roode - The fact that at the end of 2011, I'm probably the only guy putting TNA wrestlers on my ballots is hilarious considering at the end of 2010, I was probably the only guy who would ever refuse to put a TNA guy on my ballot.
9. Chris Hero - I'm surprised that his surprise appearance at Final Battle didn't unleash a cavalcade of dirtsheet reports saying that this was definitive proof he wasn't going to WWE.
10. Zack Ryder - C'mon bro. Ryder can totally do better than Manhanded Eve Torres, who looks like they stapled boobs and a wig to a dude.
