Im going to state the obvious prediction here: Strong turns heel and joins Undisputed Era in the cage, Kurt Hennig Horsemen/NWO style
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

Love how they booked that feud. Black maintains momentum but Dream still gets over because Black says his name after the match. Just really smart way to keep an unstoppable guy unbeaten but still build up a high-potential up-and-comer.

Either Drew is really messed up or he sold the **** out of that DDT. After the pin, Drew immediately started giving himself stinger tests.

A lot of time killing going on, I'm going to guess that this wasn't supposed to end as it played out.

I think she's just trying to shroud herself in a certain motif at the moment and hope that a strong character comes out. She's talented enough to make it work for now.

Honestly, I'd rather her be doing what she's doing now than have a gimmick like 'Pirate Princess,' which just seems like a gimmick for the sake of a gimmick.

Yeah I don't understand the pirate thing either. Sane is really good, but the pirate gimmick is just stupid.

I was wrong, bringing back War Games was a great idea. This should replace Hell in a Cell.

It's pretty crazy that these NXT events are under the same umbrella as the WWE. The best thing Vince has done is let HHH run NXT by himself.

Or just let NXT keep something as their own, and have a War Games takeover once a year.
