WWE got a decent talent in Anthony. I hope he does well in NXT.

Thought he had already signed tbh. Guy can wrestle, and definitely knows the ropes being in the business for close to 20 years already. Whether he is someone who will rise above the pack I'm not too convinced. More than likely ends up on 205 Live and God knows if he'll ever get out of there if that's where they stick him.
