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: 2) - Okay, so it's no longer Christmas so I can stop sucking up to Santa, who was mighty magnanimous to me this year. But this isn't about Santa, it's about Bryan. BRYAN.

2. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 3) - Summerlyn is ringing in the New Year as the legit baddest ass in Texas. She'll be looking to take over New York this year, and hopefully, THE WORLD.

3. Adrian Peterson (Last Week: Not Ranked) - He came nine yards short of the record, big fucking deal. He averaged SIX yards a carry over a full season, and if he had gotten the same carries as Eric Dickerson, he'd have demolished that record last week. All this on a reconstructed ACL? ADRIAN PETERSON IS YOUR GOD NOW.

4. Twitter (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Forget the shitty Kim/Kanye baby parody accounts. God bless you for all the Belk puns Thursday.

5. Reese's Peanut Butter Christmas Trees (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - It's already established that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the best candy ever, but when you expand them into festive Christmas tree shapes? GOLDMINE.

6. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian (Last Week: 7) - Kazarian is a better AJ Styles than AJ Styles is.

7. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 5) - I heard Alicia Fox returned the kitten she got last week. Instead of scolding her, del Rey understood and offered to get her furry hood dry cleaned.

8. Santa Claus (Last Week: 1) - He has GM powers. Who knew? Plus, I felt bad after the Christmas tree fell on his skull.

9. The Possum in my Shed (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Seriously, the thing looked at me last night and gave me a look that my dog usually does when he's happy to see me. THAT TOOK MAJOR BALLS, POSSUM.

10. Mark Henry (Last Week: 10) - MARK HENRY FACT: The ball drops at Times Square only because Henry allows it to. And he always allows it to, because Mark Henry is down with having a good time on New Year's Eve.
