The 2017 TWB 100 Epilogue: My Ballot

Dakota Kai was one of my votes who didn't make the list this year Photo Credit: WWE.com Another TWB 100 is in the books, and despite the lower voter turnout, I consider it a success. Honestly, I don't care if ten or 10,000 people vote; the point is to get people thinking about the wrestling they watch in a critical manner. I feel like the fact that nearly 75 percent of ballots had 100 wrestlers on them and the width and breadth of wrestlers voted for is as much a signpost for success as the number of voters. Anyway, I shall close the festivities this year as I do most years, with my own ballot, with blurbs of varying lengths for wrestlers that did not appear on the final list: 1. Johnny Gargano 2. Zack Sabre, Jr. 3. Jimmy Uso 4. Jey Uso 5. Braun Strowman 6. AJ Styles 7. Cesaro 8. Sheamus 9. Tomohiro Ishii - I didn't watch as much non-WWE wrestling as I would have liked in 2017 for various reasons. I'm not going to get into them, because most are deeply personal, but bec...

The 2017 TWB 100: Meet Your Voters and Others Receiving Votes

Darby Allin *just* missed the cut this year Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein Hello, friends, and welcome to the rollout of the TWB 100 for the calendar year of 2017. The votes have been received and tabulated, and now the fun part begins. I will begin unveiling the list tomorrow, but first, why don't you sit back and meet the people responsible for putting this thing together, okay? While the voter count was down this year � I received 23 ballots, down from 66 last year (yikes) � the stock and quality of voters remained at high levels. Additionally, out of 23 voters, 15 submitted the full 100, which is an astounding percentage. To all who voted, pat yourselves on the back, for now you will be made known to the world. If you have any issues with this year's TWB 100, the people you'd take it up with are the voters, but if you have any problems and you wanna bother my pure, sweet Large Adult Sons and Daughters, please don't. They voted. You didn't. Anyway... TH - Pok�m...

Is Dunne/Bate III on Full Sail's horizon?  Photo Credit:  WWE.com Last week on a ghost episode of NI60: Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville competed in the first ever "Winner (And Loser) Get Called Up Match", and Johnny Gargano somehow failed to take the WWEUK title from Pete Dunne. Street Profits: stir it up and gyrate, respectively Riddick Moss and Tino Sabotelli: get heat by being alive, more or less, which is actually a big compliment Angelo Dawkins: gets a couple of waistlock takedowns Small But Loud San Antonio Crowd: One more time!  One more time! AD: obliges Montez Ford: yelps happily from the apron , tags in in a bit and gets assisted on his standing moonsault Tino: blind tags in and lays him out Crowd: BOOOO Montez: nips up and lands a sweet dropkick, Angelo comes in to help him get rid of Riddick with the Midnight Express double flapjack, then back from the break soccer kicks Moss from the apron Tino: charges the distracted Ford and sends him into the barrier then grou...
