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) - The Corporation Nouveau has left Bryan laying at the end of every single show since they formed, and yet they still scatter when the man comes running out the back with a steel chair all by himself? They scared. They real scared. And they should be.

2. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 2) - The best announcers in the biz, Summerlyn and Eamon Paton, were back in business at Inspire Pro yesterday. Seriously, if you're in Austin and need something to do on non-Anarchy Sundays, Inspire Pro is for you, man.

3. The Working American (Last Week: Not Ranked) - No collective entity in America does more for this country yet is shit on more the working man or woman. When an entire political party is dedicated to depressing their wages and giving all the credit to corporate fatcats, you know they have it rough.

4. Mark Henry (Last Week: 3) - Henry injured his hamstring at a show this weekend, but what no one told you was that the injury occurred when The Shield took their gimmick just a bit too far and shot his leg with a bazooka.

5. Diana Nyad (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Nyad completed the 110 mile swim from Cuba to Florida earlier today. I'm only docking her a few spots because to my knowledge, she didn't bring me back any Cohibas LIKE I HAD ASKED, GAWD.

6. Brisket (Last Week: Not Ranked)OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - If barbecue is religion, then my sect is squarely dictated to Texas and its brisket. Good lord. GOOD LORD.

7. Candice LaRae (Last Week: Not Ranked) - The most criminally overlooked PWG superstar needed to eat boots from all three current titleholders to be felled during the six-person tag match on Saturday. THEN she came out in defiance of the new bad dude supergroup at the end of the show, valiantly, after she took all that abuse and took EVEN MORE. Forget Kyle O'Reilly. He can wait for his shot at Cole after LeRae gets hers.

8. AJ Lee (Last Week: 4) - Lee granted her first wish last week. Try to contain your feels, folks.

9. Barbi Hayden (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Hayden got into a brouhaha with her cat this morning. If I got scratched up somethin' fierce by an ornery kitty, I would be cowering in the corner for the rest of my days, but Hayden wasactuallytweeting photos of the damage. THAT'S HOSSY.

10. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 10) - SARA DEL REY FACT: del Rey celebrated college football kickoff weekend by teaching her students koppo kicks at the Performance Center. She takes the words literally.
