That was FCW

Itll be a 6-way ladder match at Takeover to be the first ever NXT North American Champion

First entrant is EC3, who is upset he was not simply handed the title
---

I hate to be this guy, but can you put taping results in Spoiler tags?
---

Technically not a result. <_<
---

The result of an announcement was a promo >_>
---

Ospreay vs. Okada was really good.

so was Makabe vs. Suzuki.

whole anniversary show was pretty solid tbh. Needed more Jay White tho
---

Jay White needs less Jay White.

Takeover match announcement spoiler

NXT North American Title ladder match is EC3 vs Ricochet vs Cole vs Dain vs Velveteen Dream vs Sullivan
---

Great now I have to click spoilers since I don't watch NXT anymore
---

So NXT is gonna have more singles titles than RAW or Smackdown.

Since the UK title is basically another NXT title nowadays.
---

Joke's on you. That's gonna move to TWO OH FIVE LIVE.

Kimber Lee aka Abbey Laith in NXT was released.
---

Look out Juan Francisco
---

Man. Wonder why she got let go. They didn't use her nearly enough.
---

Boy Nakamura sure feels like a guy who is going to main event Wrestlemania in a month doesn't he
---

Yeah that Nakamura....he sure is a wrestler!
---

Looks like staying away after UCA didn't last long. Blame the boredom.

Anyway, you guys have to hear and read this Cody Rhodes piece. Goes into great detail about Dusty, Cody's departure, and his mindset. And just for Eddv, it's NOT written by David Shoemaker this time.

In retrospect, I would have much preferred Cena challenging him for his #1 contendership.

It makes so much more sense, doesnt it?

It makes less sense in kayfabe but a lot more sense in building Nak.
---

Hey, we should have a PPV prediction contest, who wants to make it.
---

Is there even a debatable match?

Roode vs Orton is probably the only one. Maybe the womens tag.
---

Well, when I ran that one, we had some bonus questions on the side too. Also, I usually weighted the matches based on predictability. OK I guess I'll have to do it. Damn you Jakyl.

Roman is good to go for Wrestlemania

Turns out that steroid dealer was dealing to former WWE Superstar LUTHER Reigns, and didnt know the difference

I am not joking
---

Give him some o' dem 'roids! He had 'roids b'fo!
---

You would think a guy named Jonny Bravo would be sensitive to getting people confused with early-00s characters
---

I'm sorta sad over that. I mean, for him personally that's great and I'd hate to see him unfairly punished for something like this but man. I'm totally tapped out on wrestling interest anymore in large part to the Roman nonsense. And it's just emphasized by it being yet another year where we are watching Roman in the main event, still unloved. And while that will be funny for the jokes at our Mania party, I would actually rather enjoy WWE as a whole if it weren't just all about getting Roman over.

What's even worse is when you remember they did this same Mania match four years ago, and in four years WWE has made zero headway on getting this guy over and he still feels like the same loser. I just can't care anymore. I just can't. I've finally been sapped of interest from them.
---

Which would go over better as the main event: Roman vs Brock or the Rousey match?
---

Also why is Luther Reigns still on steroids?

That's not exactly what I'm reading.

I've read that Luther was a client and used his real name, whereas Roman was under the alias "Ricardo Rodriguez" and was harder to pinpoint.

Unless something changed in the past hour that I'm not aware of.
---

Maybe. Im just reading reactions to the news on Twitter
---

Yeah, again I could be mistaken but Luther Reigns was named a client very early on and that was a running joke that he had the two confused.

Could be wrong, though, I haven't followed this.

I'm sure Vince thinks if he just does the same thing often enough he'll finally get his way and everyone that doesn't like Reigns will just stop following the WWE entirely so he never has to worry about hearing unwanted reactions again

I'm not finding anything like this at all.

The dealer's name is "Richard Rodriguez," so maybe you're confused?

I definitely got that part confused, but the statements have been that Luther Reigns made all his orders under his real name and Roman Reigns "placed all his orders under aliases."
---

Basically what Jon Bravo said:

Up until this point, everything that Richard has told me, he has shown me evidence for it. Otherwise I wouldnt have allowed it to be on my channel.

You guys wanna know why the Reigns video was delayed? It was delayed because according to Richard, he (Reigns) placed all his orders under aliases (false identity) and there are about 100,000 orders in the system.

To sit there and cross reference with the information that Richard gave me to tie it to actual Roman Reigns. And Im not going to put any information out there until I have 100% facts in front of me.

Im not saying that it doesnt mean what Richard said isnt the truth, it means it requires a lot of work and information that I have to be able to match them up.

Im not putting bullshit information out there, Im not doing thatpeoples lives are on the line.
