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. Mark Henry (Last Week: 2) - Oh, no reason.

2. Daniel Bryan (Last Week: 1) - If the rumors are true, and his "shoot" blow-up at Triple H gets turned into an angle, he can cement the top spot on this list in perpetuity by making a story involving Trips be anything less than irritating. But I'd rather see him be involved in any other story, like feuding over who gets the privilege of brading Sweet T's back hair.

3. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 3) - Queen of Queens was cool and all, but everyone knows you gotta go through Summerlyn to be considered the real Queen.

4. AJ Lee (Last Week: 4) - She'd have taken #1 completely and unequivocally if she had shoot-slapped the taste out of Stephanie McMahon's mouth, but the fact that she stood there stoically says a lot about her composure.

5. Bacon (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - It's easy to take bacon for granted when you don't eat it all the time. Stupid diet!

6. Angel Blue (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Gotta give her props. She won Queen of Queens and posed for this picture with TWO John Cenas. Whoa.

7. Mike Wazowski (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Monsters University hit #1 on the box office charts this weekend, the 14 Pixar movie in a row to do that. Also, my son has a Mike Wazowski plush toy that he calls "MIKE! MIKE!"

8. Ray Allen (Last Week: Not Ranked) - He played an integral role in the Miami Heat's second straight NBA Championship, proving that senior citizens DO have value in America!

9. Kevin Steen (Last Week: 6) - Someone actually asked him if he worked on the West Coast. His reply was amazing.

10. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 10) - SARA DEL REY FACT: She knows every lyric to every Black Eyed Peas song, not because she's a fan, but because she uses them as tools to help toughen her classes up in Florida. Some call it cruel, I call it necessary.
