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!

@tholzerman This is my question next week. Top 10 NXT Themes?

7. Charlotte
8. Asuka
9. Vaudevillains (original)
10. Eva Marie (no @s, plz)

@tholzerman here's a late tweetbag q: does anyone get a number 1 vote in the #TWB100 besides the the BOSS?

— Rising Sea Levels (@joesmellis) October 9, 2015

In my mind, no, but one has to understand that a veritable pastiche of opinions make up this fine wrestling community we have here in our corner of the Inter-tubes. Some of those people will find John Cena, Roderick Strong, or Prince Puma/Ricochet to have had stronger years than Sasha Banks, and they wouldn't be wrong. I don't think anyone can have a right or wrong answer when it comes to judging in-ring work unless they come to that conclusion under shitty pretenses they believe to be factual. While I feel that Banks is running away from the pack, it's hard not to consider the year some of the other stronger candidates, especially Cena, have been having. So, yeah, even though I find it unfathomable, I don't expect her to sweep the top.

@tholzerman would you be so kind as to create a spooky Twitter name for me for the next #tweetbag? 👻👻👻👻👻

— Alex Lopez (@AyyoAlo) October 10, 2015

Try some of these:

• Malice Lopez
• Alex Lopain
• Jack-O-Lopez
• Halexoween
• 2016 Presidential election winner Ted Cruz

@tholzerman given today's bring back firefly nonsense which wcw ppv would you want to bring back? #tweetbag

— I miss O&AJocktober (@Moose_Bigelow) October 13, 2015

In the spirit of the season and with my disdain for Hell in a Cell being used as a pay-per-view theme instead of a feud-ender, I'm going to go with Halloween Havoc, especially if the wrestlers are encouraged to dress up in costume. The possibilities would be endless, and maybe those schmucks on the main roster could have a little fun for once.

@tholzerman You've got the book for the first ever Inspire Pro/nXt crossover card! What's on the card, who goes over & why? #tweetbag

— Booooooooooch Rosser (@thebutchrosser) October 14, 2015

Honestly, asking me "who goes over" is a tricky question because if Big Paul L. was going to deign himself to work with an indie promotion, he'd probably want all of his dudes and dudettes going over on pain of death. But I'm going to pretend that I have control of this and that Triple H has no say in the results:

• Champion vs. Champion - "Absolute" Ricky Starks vs. Finn Bálor: The Demon appears and of course goes over in an athletic, sportsmanlike match where the crowd is titillated and satisfied regardless of finish.
• Champion vs. Champion, Pt. 2 - Veda Scott vs. Bayley: Bayley appears to win the match, but Scott successfully argues to the referee citing the landmark decision of Baxter vs. the state of South Dakota that she deserves a restart, and gets Bayley with a handful of tights.
• "Dirty" Andy Dalton vs. Tyler Breeze: Breeze nearly forfeits because Dalton is too much of an uggo. After being coaxed into wrestling, Dalton wins by catching the Beauty Shot and then giving him a piledriver.
• Matthew Palmer vs. Samoa Joe: Dream match of sorts, with Joe getting the duke with the Coquina Clutch.
• Jojo Bravo and Cherry Ramones vs. the Vaudevillains: This call isn't hard to make since the Vaudies have gold and Bravo and Ramones don't. But it would be an entertaining affair nonetheless.
• Jessica James vs. Sasha Banks: Regardless of the result, these two would throw the fuck down for the best match of the night. Banks would win in a squeaker though.
• Franco D'Angelo vs. Baron Corbin: Two big hosses throwing down, but give me Corbin here.
• Delilah Doom and Asuka vs. Angelus Layne and Dana Brooke: Who said it had to be all NXT vs. Inspire Pro? A mixed up tag sees Asuka and Doom combining forces to further push down the threat of Brooke and Layne.
• Keith Lee vs. Apollo Crews: This match would be one hell of an opener, and Lee scores the upset with the big win over the new number one contender.

@tholzerman I've been away from wrestling for the past 3 weeks cus of baseball! What awesome matches did I miss in that time span?

— Julio El Patrón (@Julio_DA) October 14, 2015

Oh, not a whole lot, just this one:

@tholzerman How many drugs did Shawn Michaels do in One Night Only? And scale of 1-10, how despicable was the finish to the main event?

— Time Limit Draw (@TheTLDPodcast) October 14, 2015

Well, he probably did none DURING the match, but beforehand, I wouldn't be surprised if he did them all. And the utter shittiness of that finish is about 10,000 out of ten. Just a sickening beginning to the political hit on the Hart family that would culminate with the Montreal Screwjob.

@tholzerman#TweetBag who does win the US Title from Cena, and who in NXT should it be?

— Indie Scummy Mummy (@headbuttstopage) October 14, 2015

It should be Samoa Joe. I'm hearing Joe isn't earmarked for the main roster, which is utter bullshit. he has history with John Cena, and they'd go balls out to make that moment work. The guy who will win the title form Cena, however, is probably going to be his opponent at Hell in a Cell, Dolph Ziggler. Even though I've cooled off substantially on Ziggler in the last year or so, both as a worker and especially as a character, he's not a bad choice to take the rehabbed  US Title off Cena. He's just not Samoa Joe.

@tholzerman How many tweets could a #TweetBag bag if a #TweetBag could bag tweets? (I haven't been getting much sleep lately.) #TweetBag

@tholzerman If you were to dress you family as one WWE/F or WCW stable for Halloween, Which stable would you pick? who gets which costume?

— Rich Thomas (@earthdog) October 14, 2015

TJ as Ravishing Rick Rude. Josie as Stunning Steve Austin. Amanda as Madusa. Buddy as Larry Zbyzsko. AND YA BOY TH AS PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY. THE DANGEROUS ALLIANCE IS COMIN' TO TAKE YOUR CANDY.

@tholzerman#tweetbag If you see another person out and about wearing a wrestling t-shirt, do you make contact or just go about your day?

— The Lady (@LadyNearTheLake) October 14, 2015

I'm hella awkward around strangers, so I'd probably just go about my day. I'd make a mental note about it, especially if it were an indie tee, but I just don't feel comfortable talking to people on the street, even if they outwardly show the same interest.

@LadyNearTheLake@tholzerman Related question, it's not wrong to Too Sweet bros wearing Bullet Club t-shirts?

— Mike Pankowski (@mikepankowski) October 14, 2015

I wouldn't do it, but it's not wrong. It's also a good way to see who's wearing the Bullet Club shirt cuz they saw someone else do it, and who actually watches wrestling among them.

@tholzerman what's your best guess for the season finale of Gravity Falls?

— Andre (@TheBlargg) October 15, 2015

I haven't seen the most recent episode yet, so I don't know how things go down. However, I'm pretty sure Bill Cipher is gonna possess Wendy and make things hella difficult for the Pines twins, especially Dipper, whom I'm not sure is completely over her yet.

@tholzerman have you watched Be Cool Scooby Doo and what do you think of it? #tweetbag

— DaVideodrome (@chudleycannons) October 15, 2015

My one quibble about the show is the animation. I don't like that everyone looks like they're in the Family Guy universe. Other than that, I think it's a solid show. It keeps up with the Scooby-Doo ethic and has a lot of amusing-to-humorous moments. It's a great fit on the Cartoon Network's lineup right now.

@tholzerman You wake up, refreshed from the shock.The room is pitch black. Do you EXAMINE your surroundings or try to MOVE? #TWEETBAG

— Los InGNCobernables (@thegnc) October 15, 2015

Is GO BACK TO SLEEP an option? I'm really tired. Oh, I have to do something? Well, I gotta be somewhere in an hour, I will try to MOVE and then...

*falls into a boundless chasm*

@tholzerman Did I miss the mailbag? Dang. Is there a good wrestling twitter account to follow that doesn't publish spoilers?

— Panther Joe (@DestiGeddon) October 15, 2015

Sadly, nearly every single wrestling account I follow posts spoilers, because sometimes, that's all you've got to talk about. If you're just talking about wrestling news sites? Then I'd stick with following the official WWE/TNA/ROH/etc. accounts. Even then, NXT posted news of James Storm appearing on the show before his episodes were due to air, but if it comes from the official account, does it count as a spoiler? I don't know.

@tholzerman what is your favorite unwritten baseball rule? #TweetBag

— Andrew Smith (@OMGitsOFS) October 15, 2015

I'd say all of them are in a tie for last place because they seem to be formulated by pissbabies who can't take fun invading their sport. Although, is getting mashed in the face with a shaving cream pie after you've won the game for your team an unwritten rule? If so, I choose that one.
