Vince McMahon Steps Aside And Puts Triple H In Charge Of WWE 205 Live

[WrestlingNewsSource]

Vince finally made the decision to let Triple H run the show back in mid-January as a way to reboot the brand, or fix it. Triple H is running the show, making all decisions, while Jonathan Baeckstrom is the current lead writer. Baeckstrom has worked on the WWE creative team since August 2013 and has been a lead writer since November 2016. Former WWE Performance Center Coach Adam Pearce is still working as the lead producer for the brand.

Regarding roster changes, there may be more additions in the coming weeks. WWE NXT Superstar Roderick Strong was brought up to help freshen the roster and the show. As noted, Strong defeated Hideo Itami last Tuesday night to advance in the 16-man tournament.

Good, Vince is going to start to do this with all of WWE. He’s going to focus on the XFL, and finally let hunter run WWE completely.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Well...this will be a true test for Triple H.

Can he make the WWE Universe care about the Cruiserweights?

I think he will. He’s done great with NXT and I think 205 live will be no different.

 

[Solid Snake]

Yeah Vince will have a lot of focus on the XFL and I think this is kind of his way of letting go of the reigns a bit and letting HHH and Steph have more control. He will be able to keep busy and do his own thing while this transition happens. Either way, I hope he does a good job and shows Vince he knows how to run a great show.

I hope you're right...

1st thing he needs to do is get Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate on the show full time...
throw in Roderick Strong & Sin Cara & for the love of God get Neville back in
the ring as well.

Either way, I hope he does a good job and shows Vince he knows how to run a great show.

Hear Hear!

Even tho people would probably prefer the feud to stay in NXT. Gorgano v Ciampa on 205 under the eye of Triple H would be sweet.

Gorgano wins the tournament at Mania, Ciampa ruins the celebration and beats him up.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Okay...so I posted these in another thread...but it works here as well...

No it isn't...Charlotte & Becky aren't on 205 Live...


I think 205 Live is going through some restructuring/a reboot at the moment...
so some of the booking & the performers involved may seem a little slap dash.

I wouldn't be surprised if 205 Live is used to slowly expose NXT stars to the
main roster...as in working the larger arenas & testing crowd reactions.

I mean Fish & O'Reilly both qualify as they are both under 205...so why not
have them wrestle some tag matches on the show every once in a while?

Gargano, Ciampa & Lio Rush all qualify...and Adam Cole (BAY-BAY!) is only
5 lbs over.

And of course...there is Ricochet.

205 Live may become a hybrid NXT show for all we know.

Also...205 Live should be recorded before SmackDown...not after.


You know I have the same problem with Roddy...I think his ring work is
excellent...but as a character he falls flat for me.

I actually remember watching WarGames and seeing Roddy dressed
like the Authors of Pain and went:

"Yes! This is it! Have Roddy align himself with the AoP & Ellering from
now on! THIS WORKS!"

But...it was clearly a one night only deal...which is a real shame IMO.

Done...

I have watched the last 2-3 205's live (post Enzo) and have enjoyed it.

Its kind of sad in a way though Kailisto and Lince Dorado had a great match they go a few pops including a quiet this is awesome but I thought it was a great match.

205 has already gotten better, check it out if you have the network.

I don't...and I barely catch RAW, SmackDown & NXT as it is.

Too much product is Too much...

Wife is not a fan so I tend to watch Raw/Smackdown Sat afternoon and squeeze in NXT at some point during the week. I'll skip RAW or SD on occasion, and 205 is almost new again stopped watching when Neville walked.

 

[Brother Loathe]

Wow 205 Live sounds like he has a lot of faith in him.

[Mr. Roman Empire]

If HHH had any sense, he would sign Rey Mysterio for 205 Live to get people watching again
