205 Live - Weekly TV Show Discussion

[Prince Bálor]

I feel like it's a better idea to have this rather than creating "Rate 205 Live" threads week in and week out.

So, with that said, let's use this thread to discuss all things regarding 205 Live!

The show premieres on November 29th following SmackDown Live.​

 

[Prince Bálor]

The ME will be The Brian Kendrick defending his Cruiserweight Championship against Rich Swann.

So, I'm looking forward to the show!

 

[Gman003]

I hope The Brian Kendrick keeps the title. So with 205 live being after smackdown, does that mean the cruiserweights will be at smackdown too? And do basically an extra segment "after" the shows over?

The Brian Kendrick will retain against Swann, guaranteed.

No, the Cruiserweight division is still a property of RAW.

Although it would've made sense for the CW division to be switched to SmackDown given that 205 Live will be airing right after SmackDown.

But, can't have 'em on SmackDown where they'll actually mean something, 'cause Vinnie Mac needs 3 hours to fill on RAW. Oh, well.

The fact that this didn't simply replace the 3rd hour of Raw bugs me way more than it should

Yeah. Vince and logic do not go hand in hand sometimes.

 

[Roadster]

I think an easy fix for the 3rd hour of RAW is by extending match times, an emphasis on secondary Women's feuds and maybe an emphasis on secondary tag feuds. I think if they were on SmackDown, they would've been more widely popularized, considering SmackDown Live is watched by much more "hardcore" fans than RAW.

- PWInsider is reporting that Akira Tozawa, Gran Metallik and The Bollywood Boys are scheduled for this Tuesday's 205 Live taping in Columbia, SC. All four men were in the Cruiserweight Classic. Join us this Tuesday for our live coverage of 205 Live, right after our coverage of WWE SmackDown.

Nice!

Akira Tozawa had a farewell match (which was amazing btw) in Dragon Gate, so we're gonna be seeing him much more often.

 

[Rosie]

Oh boy there better be flips!

 

[RedDwarfTechy]

Tozawa and his kicks going all the way on 205!! Any chance he'd sign with WWE? In a more permanent basis.

As far as ME goes, I like Rich Swann, but The Brian Kendrick all the way! He's the man with the plan. Definitely watching this one!

Not just him, but we're gonna be seeing Gran Metalik more often, too!

And, I can't wait for Jack Gallagher to debut.

 

[Roadster]

Gran Metalik is a monster. Above all others in the division. Akira Tozawa is a close second.

Is WWE getting a legit distinctive writing team on this show? Like we will have real storylines and stuff?

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

They've got a pretty decent pool of talent for the Cruiserweight division. I'm a TJP guy all the way, was cool to see him get the title first in the classic. (just watched like a week ago)

I'm curious about this too.
