The Wrestling Blog's OFFICIAL Best in the World Rankings, November 18

I thought you two were supposed to be best friends, Trent?

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) - I almost docked him a few slots for capitulating to CM Punk as being the "best" on Smackdown by deeming their tag team "The Best and the Beard." No, no. NO. The Best IS the Beard, and I think everyone would be better off if they understood that fact. I can only hope tension develops between the two, and Bryan claims his true mantel as the Best in the World by ripping out Punk's heart and eating it on live television. I am not joking.

2. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 3) - Since Davey Vega didn't win the Anarchy Championship at this year's Lone Star Classic, he did not equal Summerlyn's feat from last year, and thus, Summerlyn still gets to keep her lofty perch in the rankings.

3. Trent? (Last Week: Not Ranked) - He may be headed to county penitentiary for killing Chuck Taylor, but at least he won gold for his troubles. So what if he lost it right after to the Young Bucks?

4. Samantha Ponder (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Read this and you'll know why she's here.

5. AJ Lee (Last Week: 6) - Building on my idea from last week, WWE Films totally has a hit on their hands with Lee as the Black Widowing menace who looks to put the entire world in her deadly submission hold AT THE SAME TIME.

6. Mark Henry (Last Week: 4) - T. Boone Pickens teased him about Oklahoma State layin' a whuppin' down on Texas this weekend, so his response was to eat the entire state of Oklahoma.

7. Pizza (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - I love pizza, and I agree with Jon Stewart on what pizza is and isn't.

8. Davey Vega (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Of course, winning the Classic over eleven other wrestlers is enough to get on the list.

9. Rob Ford (Last Week: Not Ranked) - I'm not saying Ford is a great mayor. However, the man's troll game is on lockdown. Even if he's 100% earnest in everything he's saying, the fact that his entire modus operandi is whipping the media into a frenzy tickles me absolutely pink.

10. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 10) - SARA DEL REY FACT: del Rey is the only member of the locker room who can hinder Jinder Mahal and get away with it.
