Don't let anybody walk all over you, especially this lovely company

I hope Cuerno came in injured and just dragged a busted leg to first day of drills so he could get taken care of on their dime

There's like one or two bland ones in the first few but they are pretty much all killer shows.

I always thought Cezar Bononi had potential (he does some pretty good character work at house shows). ok seriously, how can you not take a choice looking selection from the biggest collection of tryhard toughfucks and not come up with something? That's free writing material. The Brazillian MMA scene has dudes getting grenades thrown at them over fender benders. poo poo's wild.

There any indication that any other matches are going to be added to Takeover: Portland, or are the six matches on the Wikipedia page probably it?

Show was fine but holy gently caress they need to get the gently caress off of Wednesdays, it's killing any interest in the show by having it go up against something as great, fresh and exciting as AEW.

loving winner. AEWPlus has been a thing since the start of Dynamite, right? I don't get how you could be flailing wildly in response to your opposition that just won't die and not notice that they have a pretty ingenious system to drive people to a subscription service. Like I get that their infrastructure is probably too stupid to pull of simulcasting the live show to foreign markets for NXT, but being able to say, this match will be in its entirety on the WWE network later this week seems like it might sell the network to those 700k that are watching the tv. But what do I know.

It goes up commercial free on the Network the next day. And by that I mean that there's a quick cut from when the commercials start to when they end.

NXT was exclusive to the Network for the longest time and they apparently didn't see enough potential in that to not ship it to TV at the first chance they got to gently caress over an alternative, so really I don't have any sympathy for them or their Network. They made this bed, let them die in it

The biggest takeaway from last night's NXT involving the women is that Dakota continues to look like a loving loser geek, and that people are finally realizing Rhea is nowhere near as good as WWE presents her as. She's getting almost universal criticism about her promos as of late, and her ring work hasn't been too hot either.

I thought I saw people livetweeting well after that.

Is there a need to watch any of the last few episodes of NXT weekly for the PPV or has not much storytelling really happened, and the recaps will be enough to cover it? OFFICER LIGER posted:the absolute worst TakeOver was still a really great wrestling show, you're going to have a good time I'll go as far as to say there has been one bad Takeover *match* (I've slipped a bit behind on my Takeovers but I saw all of them at least until 2018 or so) and that was Bull Dempsey vs Baron Corbin, and is literally the reason I still hate Corbin to this day.

(Not currently on the card, I think) Dream wants to wear Strong like a skin suit and become him and gently caress his wife. Ciampa wants to do very violent things to Cole. There's a tag team title match. The women's title match doesn't matter because we all know who's winning and also Charlotte Flair is going to be at the takeover, so it's all 'Mania setup. Two other women are very angy at each other and are going to beat the hell out of each other. Keith Lee and the other guy who's name I can't spell are going to have a nice, respectful match. Johnny Wresting and Finn are going to fight over who represents NXT. There has been no storyline development other than that. I think that's everything.
