Taynara was very attractive and if wwe has proven anything its that people can get really far with just that on the main roster

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?

That's probably it, plus a pre-show match. Unless one of those 6 are the pre-show match

when did wwe sign jonah rock? that went completely under my radar.

Same time they signed DJZ, Shane Strickland, Trevor Lee, Sam Shaw, and ACH. I think all were literally the same class

God didn't realize theres a takeover on sunday

butchered repository of wrestling history. absolutely butchered. But that's an argument for another thread.

Is NXT still running 8-10EST? I thought I saw people livetweeting well after that.

Lot of people watch AEW first then NXT

How long has she been in developmental? Is it just a Riddick Moss like situation where they've had them for so long they decide they gotta do SOMETHING?

Riddick Moss was there longer. Reina or w/e was there about as long as Rhea. which is like a year or 2? They did something with Riddick because he signed a new contract and he negotiated that he gets called up.

braun vs big show was a clean as a sheet pin and submission only cage match from like 3 years ago?

I completely forgot that match even happened. I remember the ring breaking, because the same poo poo happened with Brock Lesnar about 10 years prior to that.

this was part of that feud but it was the blow off where Big Show was clean shaven before his recent surgery and after Braun beat him he threw Show through the cage. It ruled. Big Show wasn't wrestling like a giant who needed hip surgery in the cage match

I was gonna say "maybe they did it for their health since they didn actually do war games" and then i realized that was awhile ago and they just did a dangerous street fight and a cage match back to back. Only thing i can think of is that they're gonna face each other again at the next takeover

that feud is stalled because NXT UK is dead due to the corona virus and the guys in europe can't come to the US to do wrestling.

Oh right, I forgot that he came in as a stand-in for Pete Dunne, right?

Yeah and nowhere on the WWE site does it claim he's ever been champion. Which is reflected on wikipedia and other wrestling sites like Cagematch, but his entrance graphic tonight and commentary talked about him being tag champion.

Uh, Candice has been heel for most of this year. None of the people on her team beat her down the past two weeks. Do you mean Toni?

I like that there's another Ghostface and KO is just like "yeah of course, there were two in the movie."


Io and Rhea on the face team. That's gonna be a killer match.
Yeah I meant toni.

2nd ghost face is Austin theory

The kick was a great sell but she's fine she didn't shoot kick her.

lmao no one takes a header right into the ground without putting their hands up. that looked just like the time jinder knocked out finn balor and he took a header just like that

Eat My Fuc posted:

It's not real my friend, she's fine it was just a good sell of the kick look how she protects herself on the bump.

yeah man, breaks her fall with her forehead which snaps her head up violently on impact
