Kicked butt

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruled

(Other definitions for ruled that I've seen before include "(Of writing paper) having printed lines" , "Reigned - lined - decided" , "Governed or commanded" , "Were tops" , "Made authoritative statement" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
