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 is Mox committed to selling his All Elite Wrestling "injury" everywhere else he works, he looks badass wearing his eyepatch. Him standing next to Kazuchika Okada before they stormed the ring against Minoru Suzuki and Taichi was, in a word, incredible.

2. Damien Williams (Last Week: Not Ranked) - The Kansas City Chiefs have ended a 50-year Super Bowl drought. Williams was a huge part of that, taking the direct snap for a first down before the first touchdown and scoring to put the team up 11 in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs may not be a running team, but Williams was essential to their success all year and in the title game.

3. Maki Itoh (Last Week: 3) - She's a cat now, so she'll be 100 percent sassier in coming weeks.

4. Orange Cassidy (Last Week: 7) - So what if he's gonna die at Spring Break when Minoru Suzuki kills him. Whatever.

5. Gritty (Last Week: 9) - Gritty was cleared of all wrongdoing in that case of him supposedly hitting a child. Don't worry, Gritty will only threaten other teams' mascots.

6. Shingo Takagi (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Takagi brought even more gold home to Los Ingobernables de Japon by taking the NEVER Openweight Championship from Hirooki Goto. Some people say that Takagi is an actual clone of Goto, which feels false. Dragon Gate dojo guys are all bred from real people, with the exception of CIMA, whose father was a cyborg.

7. Bernie Sanders (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Today is the Iowa Caucus. I'm not sure why Iowa and New Hampshire are the focal points of the early election. In fact, every primary should be held on the same day. Regardless, Sanders has a real shot of making headway today and marching America towards a brighter future. If you are in Iowa, don't take your vote for granted! Vote Sanders! Make sure you're in line, cuz they can't kick you out if you're in it before the deadline.

8. Zicky Dice (Last Week: Not Ranked) - I finally watched NWA Powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr again, and Dice is my new favorite wrestler. Hell yeah.

9. Roast Pork Shoulder (Last Week: Not Ranked) OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - My wife made one Saturday night. Barbecue is the preferred method of cooking for a pork shoulder, but roasting it in the oven is just as delicious, especially with good bread and roasted peppers.

10. Tony Schiavone (Last Week: 10) - Well, wrestling fans, it seems Britt Baker has stopped yelling at me and started going after Jim Ross. Maybe now JR will stop sending di... well folks, we're out of time! Join us next week for The Wrestling Blog's OFFICIAL Best in the World Rankings!
