The Wrestling Blog's OFFICIAL Best in the World Rankings: November 19th

Friendship! (Friendship, again?)

Welcome to a feature I like to call "Best in the World" rankings. They're not traditional power rankings per se, but they're rankings to see who is really the best in the world, a term bandied about like it's bottled water or something else really common. They're rankings decided by me, and don't you dare call them arbitrary lest I smack the taste out of your mouth. Without further ado, here's this week's list:

1. Daniel Bryan (Last Week: 1) - Daniel Bryan retains his top ranking because HE IS THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, has learned how to unlock the FRIENDSHIP ACHIEVEMENT on WWE Backstage Manager Live, and he lasted longer than Kane in the Survivor Series match last night.

2. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 2) - She's still the Champ, and she's going to be the first guest on the Podcast who has also simultaneously held a major title. Oops, did I spoil this week's guest the night before recording? OH TEH NOES!

3. Planet Earth (Last Week: Not ranked) - I gotta say, I admire this planet's resilience surviving not just one, but TWO NIGHTS of Awesome Kong and Jazz teaming without shaking the planet to its core.

4. The Big Show (Last Week: 3) - I docked points because hasn't Scott Armstrong suffered enough?

5. Jigsaw (Last Week: Not ranked) - It takes cahones to stand up to your mentor the way Jigsaw did at Cibernetico. Plus, Mike Quackenbush has been a bit too vindictive lately for most people's tastes. Agree or disagree with the Gekido's tactics, but Quack needed a reality check.

6. Red Robin's Gingerbread Milkshake (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - As if Red Robin wasn't underrated enough in the chain burger wars (FIE ON YOUR FIVE GUYS! FIE ON IT!), they recently rolled out another reason to stop in there for the winter months, its gingerbread milkshake. Just don't go with Daniel Day Lewis.

7. The Internet (Last Week: 7) - If you thought the football community's reaction over the tie last week at Candlestick was massive? I'm pretty sure Twitter collectively orgasmed once they realized that Dean Ambrose was one of the guys kicking the shit out of Ryback last night.

8. Andrew Bynum's Hair (Last Week: Not ranked) - Seriously, SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY, look at it!

9. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 6) - Not only did Kaitlyn and Eve Torres get extended time last night, they started a simultaneously occurring feud between AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka. This is all del Rey's doing.

10. Mark Henry (Last Week: 10) - MARK HENRY FACT: Y'know Bill Brasky? Yeah, Mark Henry thinks he's a pussy.
