Moxley is so good he made Kenny Omega go back first into barbed wire

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. Jon Moxley (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Not only did Moxley prevail in a war with Kenny Omega in the main event of Full Gear, he helped out the ring crew by breaking the squared circle down before he finished his match. What a guy!

2. Ashley Vox and Delmi Exo (Last Week: 4) - The SeaStars followed up their big SHIMMER weekend by going right to Worcester and beating up on Colin Delaney and Cheech Hernandez at Beyond Wrestling's Uncharted Territory. Add in Vox's success in the National Wrestling Alliance, and this team has taken the country by storm. I'm ecstatic for them.

3. Dalvin Cook (Last Week: Not Ranked) - The Eagles were on bye this week, but they still won because the Minnesota Vikings went into Dallas and punched the Cowboys in the mouth, putting them in a virtual tie for the lead in the NFC East. Now, Dallas has the head-to-head advantage so far, but any Cowboys loss is a good one.

4. Furkan Korkmaz (Last Week: Not Ranked) - The Sixers stumbled out on the West Coast, but they found that Korkmaz, the Turkish sharpshooter who at one point wanted out of Philly last year, has become one of their best shooting options from three. If the Sixers win the title this year, it'll be because they got a Nelson Agholor-in-2017 type year out of Korkmaz, among other things.

5. Kshama Sawant (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Sawant, a longtime socialist member of Seattle's city council, faced a challenge from a candidate whom Amazon backed with over $1 million in an attempt to wring the city even drier with its predatory business tactics and abuse of labor. Guess what? Sawant won. It just goes to show that the people can't be fooled by big corporations and their empty promises and societal abuses.

6. Awesome Kong (Last Week: Not Ranked) - I've heard of snatching edges, but when you're Kong, you gotta kick it up a notch and snatch NATURAL hair.

7. Gnocchi (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - I dubbed myself Mr. Gnocchi over the weekend, because gnocchi are awesome. Little pillowy pastas made out of potato and love, how could you not like them? I had them for dinner Friday and Saturday night. They're that good.

8. Maki Itoh (Last Week: 4) - In case you were wondering, she has many talents, including videobombing.

9. Orange Cassidy (Last Week: 5) - Pfft, whatever, who cares if he wasn't on Full Gear.

10. Tony Schiavone (Last Week: 10) - Folks, even though he wasn't at Full Gear, he was celebrated for his longstanding career on Friday night with a night out at dinner at Jimmy's Seafood, where Jimmy Hav... folks we are out of blog time this week. Tune back next week for the Best in the World Rankings!
