The Wrestling Blog's OFFICIAL Best in the World Rankings, December 9

Good night, sweet prince Photo via USATSI

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. Roy Halladay (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Halladay retired today. I'll always remember being down in Virginia for a cousin-in-law's wedding and hearing Halladay had a perfect game going. I kept following along on Twitter on my shitty old flip phone until we could get back to the hotel, which actually had the game on. Later that year, he'd throw a no-no in the playoffs, and of course, the team repaid him with an utterly flaccid offensive performance against the Giants in the next round. Teammate playoff failures aside, Halladay is one of the most dominant players I've ever watched, and I'm pretty sad to see him retire so young, even by starting pitcher standards.

2. Daniel Bryan (Last Week: 3) - What happens when a bunch of crazed backwoods rednecks kidnap you and then give up the night they take you because you're too batshit crazy even for them? You're Daniel Fucking Bryan and you're the best in the goddamn world (most weeks, gotta give it up to Roy, yo).

3. Rachel Summerlyn (Last Week: 2) - Look, I'm not saying she should be the next coach of the Texans, but do you think a team coached by Summerlyn would lose twice to the Jaguars? Sorry, the First Lady of Anarchy >>>>>>>> #DUVAAAAALLLLLLLLL.

4. LeSean McCoy (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Dude made Barry Sanders cuts in the snow. IN THE FUCKING SNOW. Some players would shred their ligaments trying to make some of his moves on a well-manicured, healthy, lush grass field on a clear day.

5. Jennifer Lawrence (Last Week: 6) - She owns the box office in Catching Fire, and she'll own Oscar season with American Hustle. SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF J-LAW, NOW.

6. AJ Lee (Last Week: 4) - She's starting to count her days as Divas Champion. I hope she can count to like, a billion, unless WWE somehow wises up and brings over Aja Kong.

7. Mark Henry (Last Week: 1) - Honestly, I'm docking Henry a few spots for not sealing the deal with Summer Rae. (Real talk, though, WWE doing the "big black guy is a lech" again is beyond gross to me.)

8. Belgian Beer (Last Week: Not Ranked)OFFICIAL HOLZERMAN HUNGERS SPONSORED ENTRY - They do waffles and chocolate and pomme frites so well that their prowess in brewing is that much more impressive. Belgian beer rules all, even if Stella Artois has goddamn annoying commercials. They're near the bottom anyway.

9. Whoever Runs Social Media for the Atlanta Hawks (Last Week: Not Ranked) - Tooling Darren Rovell is a required act of public stewardship anymore, but when you go all ICE BURN on him, you get a special mention.

10. Sara del Rey (Last Week: 10) - SARA DEL REY FACT: Whenever the SDR Fact Generator is on the fritz, she troubleshoots it by kicking it. She doesn't do so out of anger; the machine was designed to be operated by various kicks. Her short kick generates a fact, her roundhouse powers the machine on and off, and her koppo kick is the troubleshoot kick.
