Justin Cole-901 Wrestling Champion

Before joining in May 2018, Memphis’s own “Big Swole” Justin Cole carried multiple tag team championships reigns as a member of “Final Hour”. His physical and mental toughness comes from Cole’s nine years as a law enforcement officer, which severed him well training (surviving) the War Room in Missouri. Big Swole has mainly been seen in singles competition since joining 901 Wrestling. Swole has racked up an impressive win streak and earned a shot against then-champion Ken Dang. Andy Mack interfered, which lead to a triple threat match, where Cole pinned Mack to become 901 Wrestling Champion, earning his first top title in a company and kicking off the #SummerofSwole. After fending off challenges from Ken Dang and Andy Mack, Cole turned away challenges from both members of Jax Inc. (Shane Shoffner and Chris Ward) during the summer. However, just as Cole thought he would be done with Jax Inc, Tommy would put Ward’s career on the line, much to the shock of the crowd… and Ward. Cole would collapse during the match attempting a Swole Slam, and Ward would fall on top for a pinfall victory. After, Cole was taken to the hospital. As he returned to get his rematch, Tommy Jax presented papers to Comissioner Kontar from the board, that announced that Justin Cole would be suspended, due to a violation of the wellness program. However, Andy Mack would eventually reveal that Tommy Jax was to blame for Cole’s condition and test result. Swole would be reinstated, and a championship rematch granted all at once. Swole would make the most of the opportunity and won the 901 Wrestling Championship for the second time!
