6 Positives And 4 Negatives Heading Into WWE Survivor Series 2016

10. Negative — This "Fantasy Warfare" Malarkey

First off we’ll address the negatives, and in particular this "fantasy warfare" tagline that WWE has looked to shove down our throats at every available opportunity.

I get that it’s a tie-in to the WWE 2K17 video game. And I get that Goldberg’s unexpected return to a real-life ring does kind of fit the definition of fantastical. But it takes the biscuit a little when they’re trying to claim that the entire show is made of up dream matches.

Sure, the matches look exciting enough, but the idea of this SmackDown vs. Raw feud being a “fantasy” doesn’t really hold up since the Brand Split simply hasn’t been going long enough at this point. Just a few months back we were seeing these guys mixing it up on a regular basis. Take the Miz and Sami Zayn for example; they’ve met in singles action three times already this year, so their match this Sunday hardly falls into that "fantasy" category.

I could make more comparisons between guys like Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, or the Usos and the Club, but either way the point remains the same; it hasn’t been long enough to start calling these meetings “fantasy” matches, and to do so sounds slightly naïve, at best. At worst, it kind of insults our intelligence…
