Get ready, you mutha***** for the big payback Photo Credit: WWE.com Results, stray thoughts, and takeaways from NXT's three- hour special from the Big Easy just as soon as I can finally relax when the credits box pops up... Results: Adam Cole beat Ricochet, ECIII, Lars Sullivan, Killian Dain and Velveteen Dream in a ladder match to become NXT's first-ever North American Champion. Shayna Baszler became the seventh woman to win the NXT Women's World Championship after Ember Moon passed out in the Kirifuda Clutch. The Undisputed Era's Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly retained the NXT World Tag Team Championships over the Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne in a triple threat match when Strong turned on Dunne, allowing Kyle O'Reilly to gain the fall.

Johnny Gargano used a brac...

THINKING THIS: EAGLEA It's Twitter Request Line time, everyone! I take to Twitter to get questions about issues in wrestling, past and present, and answer them on here because 140 characters can't restrain me, fool! If you don't know already, follow me @tholzerman , and wait for the call on Wednesday to ask your questions. Hash-tag your questions #TweetBag , and look for the bag to drop Thursday afternoon (most of the time). Without further ado, here are your questions and my answers: E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! That is all. #TweetBag � Vlad Radinov (@thepartytsar) January 31, 2018 I'm ready to run through a brick wall, Vlad. I swear to God.

Trevor Lee giving MJF the what-for here kicks off today's TWB 100 entry Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein Today, the TWB 100 will power on through to the halfway point. Enough yammering in introduction, the time has come to get to the actual wrestlers! 75. Trevor Lee Points: 477 Number of Ballots: 7 Highest Vote: 2nd Place (Brock Jahnke) Last Year�s Ranking: 48th Place Chris Gibbons: Lee is a wrestler who makes the most of every context he�s in. He�s one of the few TNA/IMPACT/whatever it�s called now wrestlers I tried to keep up with in the ring because he�s the X Division�s most consistent presence. He�s a great heel in places like AAW and PWG, and his impressive long title reign in CWF Mid-Atlantic keeps delivering. Lee probably doesn�t get enough due for the work he puts in.
