The Wrestling Blog's OFFICIAL Best in the World Rankings, November 25

Seriously, only a grown ass monster beast could bend football goalposts

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) - I didn't have the heart to strip him of his top ranking after his dog died. Seriously, anyone who has a pet that has more mobility and cognitive power than a goldfish knows how hard dealing with their deaths can be. AND he went out and performed on WWE TV and Survivor Series like a boss.

2. Jimmy Graham (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Dude not only had ANOTHER game most healthy players dream of having on a bum foot, but when he dunked the ball on his touchdown celebration, he bent the goalpost. FOOTBALL HOSS ALERT.

3. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 2) - Sure, she hasn't been active on social media or anything lately, but would YOU be the one to suggest I take her off this list? Active or inactive, she's still the best.

4. AJ Lee (Last Week: 5) - Her rallying speech was goddamn Churchillesque. Sometimes, great leaders aren't receptive to brilliant tactics. As much as I am pained to have to blame Kaitlyn for inciting rebellion against Team Non-Total Divas leader AJ Lee, well, sorry, all the blame goes on her former Chickbuster partner. If Lee doesn't have Kaitlyn hanged in the town square to discourage further insubordination, then maybe she does not have the leader material I thought she had.

5. Mark Henry (Last Week: 6) - He's a lean, mean, HOSSIN' machine, and he's finally back from his latest injury. Actually, that injury was a front. He was out beating the piss out of everyone who panned his new album recorded under the pen name "Rick Ross."

6. Aubrey Plaza (Last Week: Not Ranked) - The latest season of The Legend of Korra wrapped up Friday, but Plaza really has been a joy the entire run during the second frame, ironically as a joyless, monotone, semi-villain.

7. Runny Eggs (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - I have become obsessed with egg yolks lately, but they're so gooey and rich. What have I been missing out on most of my life by eating my eggs fried hard?

8. Leva Bates (Last Week: Not Ranked) - When you cosplay as Ash Ketchum, you have my attention. But when you do so by commandeering Su Yung's freedom and making her your Pikachu? Well, you've got a spot on the list.

9. Davey Vega (Last Week: 8) - Not only is he a snazzy wrestler, but HE HAS A BULLDOG TOO OMG YES YES YES.

10. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 10) - SARA DEL REY FACT: She doesn't like people rumor-mongering that she's in fact the manifestation of Sister Abigail. For one, she has too many teeth.
