PREDICTION LEAGUE 2017: ROUND 3 (NIGHT OF GLORY)

Match One: Jerome Dubois © vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
Prediction: Cameron Faith
Reason: Nay has been great and I feel he deserves it after missing out on the world title.

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Prediction: Geoff Steel
Reason: With Mat on creative I feel Steel gets the win here and moves on to a feud with Cameron Faith

Match Three: Team Adamson © vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Prediction: Team Adamson
Reason: it seems crazy to take the belt away from TA right now, Adamson brigs that star quality the division needs at this point in time.

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
Prediction: Gazzy D
Reason: I haven't promoed and Gazzy seems to be finding his stride at the moment

Match Five: Clarke James © © vs Perfect Jack © © (2 points)
Prediction: Clarke James
Reason: Hardest match to decide on...honestly no idea.

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
Prediction: O'Callaghan
Reason: Seems to be the right pick for the superstar of the year who recently dropped his titles and seems to be moving up

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi © vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Prediction: Dicey Reilly
Reason: Even if Zhi was active I think Dicey is the obvious winner here, Dicey is not only active and consistent but also a Reilly win goes with the story that has been told in the BIGGER PICTURE

Main Event Two: Liam Wood © vs Cerberus (2 points)
Prediction: Liam Wood
Reason: I'm biased but also with the 6CW title probably changing hands I can't see both belts changing hands in a repeat of last year...I also don't see Wood losing the EWF title two years running. The last reason is the Gateway To Glory shouldn't always guarantee a title win...this being said Nando has been great so I can see Cerberus winning.

DONE!

Match One: Jerome Dubois vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
Prediction: Jerome
Reason: Neither promo so I am indifferent about this match, I can see JD win just because why not

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Prediction: Geoff Steel
Reason: It has to be Steels moment and the end of this feud that has being going since the dawn of time

Match Three: Team Adamson vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Prediction: Team Adamson
Reason: I cant see past TA winning this, it would be good to see them drop it as chasing the titles they looked better but there is no one there really to do it

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
Prediction: Gazzy D
Reason: I see Gazzy win this but with a twist at the end

Match Five: Clarke James vs Perfect Jack (2 points)
Prediction: Either one can win this but one wont
Reason: I see a DQ or double KO to keep this going for another PPV

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
Prediction: O'Callaghan
Reason: It is a toss up between O'Callaghan and JJ for me to take this and I see the winner inserting themselves into the 6CW title match or cashing in

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Prediction: Neither
Reason: As with above I see O'Callaghan winning the title at the end by putting himself into the match and making himself a bonifide Superstar

Main Event Two: Liam Wood vs Cerberus (2 points)
Prediction: Liam Wood
Reason: This could go down two ways, Cerberus wins a gruelling match or Gazzy has joined the "Brotherhood" and causes him the title, I go with the latter

Match One: Jerome Dubois vs Cameron Faith (2 points) - Neither have done much recently so JD retains

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point) Face always come out victorious & Mat is busy writing stuff more likely.

Match Three: Team Adamson vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points) - Marky is holding up the tag division so no change

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
no contest or double countout - dont think Plague will want to fight him teasing a gazzy heel turn

Match Five: Clarke James vs Perfect Jack (2 points) Would be nice for PJ to get some recognition he's been excellent if under the radar recently

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points) With what happened on Aftermath i think he may win

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi vs Dicey Reilly (2 points) Paul T ain't been around so Dec for the win

Main Event Two: Liam Wood vs Cerberus (2 points)
My reign will last approx 5 mins until Engel wanders down with his briefcase imo. Plus it gives Chris a chance to main event himself when he returns & we all know he loves that

Match One: Jerome Dubois © vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
I pick a J-Dubs retention, I think Faith would be a great winner but I think it's too soon to just have Dubs lose it in his first real rivalry.

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Going with Steel to win and close out the feud, moving onto one of the midcard titles.

Match Three: Team Adamson © vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Potential to look foolish here but I don't see The TA losing the titles just yet. Maybe with some outside interference. I'd predict The TA retain and the Soldiers of Fortune to get a one on one shot next. Begging for Adamson to have an Ellsworth moment though whatever the final result!*

*if that happens I want bonus points

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
I'm not sure if this is the end, even if it is at Night of Glory. Obvious answer is a GazzyD win but I'm going with Plague to further the storyline.

Match Five: Clarke James © © vs Perfect Jack © © (2 points)
I'd like to think there will be a decisive winner, toss of a coin as both are great but going with Clarke James.

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
As much as the likes of Engel and O'Callaghan deserve it, I'm going with Anthony Grace. The briefcase would be the perfect accessory for him and his corporate approach. Who knows, maybe even with assistance from a returning Joshua?

I don't see the winner cashing in immediately, as the Elimination Chamber match should be physically taxing on the winner.

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi © vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Going with Dicey. With or without Demon promoing, it's all set up for Dicey to win with the stipulation in his favour. Only thing putting me off is that this would be a perfect finale and it's not the final match.

Main Event Two: Liam Wood © vs Cerberus (2 points)
Going for Wood to retain, very few people retain the World Title at NoG and it would be a great new thing for Wood to brag about. First ever EWF Champion to retain at NoG? (May not be the case)

Technically Wood retained last year only to have Thunder cash in.

Match One: Jerome Dubois © vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
Prediction: Dubois

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Prediction: Steel

Match Three: Team Adamson © vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Prediction: TA

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
Prediction: Plague

Match Five: Clarke James © © vs Perfect Jack © © (2 points)
Prediction: Perfect Jack

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
Prediction: Engel

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi © vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Prediction: Zhi

Main Event Two: Liam Wood © vs Cerberus (2 points)
Prediction: Cerberus

Match One: Jerome Dubois © vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
Prediction: Cameron Faith by DQ (Jerome Retains)
Reason: Still think it’s a pointless return, but with Nay being absent of late, same for JD, I think this is set up for someone take out Faith and make a statement against Dubs.

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Prediction: Geoff Steel
Reason: Someone needs to win this. And murder the other one. That way, someone comes out as the true winner of the feud. G’wan Geoff.

Match Three: Team Adamson © vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Prediction: Team Adamson
Reason: Not sure on this. I think Marky deserves a decent run with Team Adamson for basically reviving the Tag Division.

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
Prediction: Gazzy D
Reason: The bloke is due one. And after his year, he deserves it at the biggest show of the year.

Match Five: Clarke James © © vs Perfect Jack © © (2 points)
Prediction: Perfect Jack
Reason: It needs a climax here, it would be a shame not to have a clear winner, and I think Jack edges me.

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
Prediction: Anthony Grace.
Reason: I think he’ll steal the win. I think O’Callaghan should win it, but I don’t think Olly needs the case. He’s better chasing without it.

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi © vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Prediction: Anthony Grace
Reason: He’s cashing it. Would be cheap to have Dicey win it and then lose it, so makes sense for Grace to do it. And everyone will hate him even more.

Main Event Two: Liam Wood © vs Cerberus (2 points)
Prediction: Cerberus
Reason: Nando deserves the title, there’s a part of me that thinks Cerberus completely destroying Wood could be a brilliant way to end it. I think NOG ending with Cerberus stood tall as ‘The Man’ is fitting.

Other prediction: Joshua returns.

Match One: Jerome Dubois © vs Cameron Faith (2 points)
Winner: Jerome Dubois.
Reason: I think it's a bit too early for JD to drop the titles considering he just won them a while back.

Match Two: Mike Hill vs Geoff Steel (1 point)
Winner: Geoff Steel
Reason: It's time for Geoff to get his revenge back on Mike Hill ever since they split as a team and all the times Hill has screwed Steel.

Match Three: Team Adamson © vs The Parasite Killers vs Soldiers of Fortune v2 (3 points)
Winner: Team Adamson
Reason: I don't see them dropping the titles soon, I've seen no obvious sign of the group cracking but that could all change at the event.

Match Four: GazzyD vs Edward Plague (1 point)
Winner: GazzyD
Reason: GazzyD to win to end the feud for a while but I think they will be back.

Match Five: Clarke James © © vs Perfect Jack © © (2 points)
Winner: Clarke James
Reason: It's a 50-50 call but I think Clarke James pinches it at the end.

Match Six: Hero vs JJ Johnson vs Crime Lord vs O’Callaghan vs Anthony Grace vs Engel Harlequin (6 points)
Winner: O'Callaghan
Reason: Enjoyed promo'ing with O'Callaghan during the UK/Int title feud and I can see him grabbing the case during the madness of the match.

Main Event One: Cassius Zhi © vs Dicey Reilly (2 points)
Winner: Dicey Reilly
Reason: Both great promos, it's gonna be a bloodbath and I think Dicey nicks it at the end. Would be a great ending to a great feud but I doubt it's the last we'll see between the two.

Main Event Two: Liam Wood © vs Cerberus (2 points)
Winner: O'Callaghan.
Reason: Liam Wood retains his title in the match but O'Callaghan cashes in to win the title. O'Callaghan stands tall at the end and it sets up a three way feud for the title with Cerberus involved.

I should have 12 points?

let me check

2 for Dubois (6)
1 for Steel (4)
3 points for Tag Titles
2 for Zhi and 2 for Cerberus (10)
1 point for giving reasons (11)

The others you either got wrong or didn't predict

Well poo

Do I not get bonus points for the Adamson/Ellsworth moment?

No, you only get bonus points for official bonus questions...we did try out a thing where you can offer up your own bonus point question with the risk of losing points but it didn't go down well.

Would people like more bonus point questions in the future? I'm always happy to change how the league works if it makes it more fun/more of a challenge.

Think it depends on the match, for instance, you offered up 6 points for the EC match, when all you had to do was guess the winner. Maybe order of elimination? 1 point for each correct answer?

With multi man matches I always normally go with how many people are in that match as normally it means it's harder to guess...the same way that the odds are higher on a football game that's harder to predict than say a massive team taking on a low league team.

I think final 2 in the elimination chamber would have been a good shout for extra points or like you said order of elimination for a point each. I think next time we have an elimination match we will do that...similar to if we have iron man matches we could have people predict the score.
