Odyssey Jones the face of 205 live cause him Briggs and Gacy scream cruiserweight xD

They announced a few weeks ago that the weight limit no longer applies. Show hasn't been live in ages anyway so not like the name has even been accurate anyway

I'll be watching this right after Rampage tonight.

I'll be watching this right after Rampage tonight.

I think you have to wait until tomorrow unless a watchwrestling has it. Peacock only streams it live and then you can't start it over or watch a replay. But it gets put on Hulu next day early (which I think is why Peacock doesn't have replays until later)

Its quite annoying for this shitty little show tbh lol

 

[Necro]

Yeah lately I've seen it on watchwrestling, so if it aint there I will not be watching haha.

I didnt even know it was uploaded to Hulu for awhile so once this Peacock shit started and it wasn't on a watchwrestling the next day, I was heated about not being able to watch some 205

Really liked the tag team main event this week, I fucks with a Trey Baxter & Odyssey Jones tag team

Women's match was alright, cool to see some new faces but they didn't really stand out. I think that Catrina girl is the one that was on Raw with Sin Cara a couple years ago randomly for a few weeks though.

Baxter and Chase to battle in highly anticipated clash on 205 Live
A thrilling edition of 205 Live is set to be highlighted by a collision between Trey Baxter and Andre Chase, Malik Blade battling Boa, and Valentina Feroz seeking her second win in as many weeks when she takes on Amari Miller.

Baxter and Chase have each had a chip on their shoulder since being knocked out of the NXT Breakout Tournament in the second and first round, respectively. And in the aftermath of the eight-Superstar competition, both have experienced mixed results while competing on NXT and 205 Live.

Chase is attempting to snap a recent losing streak, and Baxter is seeking his second straight win after successfully teaming with Odyssey Jones on last week’s 205 Live, but which Cruiserweight will claim a monumental victory in Friday’s main event?

After battling back to earn an impressive win against Katrina Cortez last week, Feroz faces another difficult challenge from Miller. Like her opponent, Miller is 1-0 on the purple brand, having defeated Cora Jade two weeks ago.

Finally, Blade is set to make his in-ring debut with a matchup against Boa, who has flashed a frightening new mean streak ever since the formation of Tian Sha.

Don’t miss an exciting episode of the purple brand, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!​

I loved this show when we had Neville, Aries, Murphy and Rush around. Now it's quite lame. Just like Boa's finisher.

 

[Chris]

It's def fallen way off a cliff as it's essentially a developmental B show now lol but it's got its moments. I liked Chase/Baxter from last night, the women's match was fun too. Boa match...not so much

Moon battles Jade, Jiro tangles with Blade on 205 Live
On a star-studded edition of 205 Live, Ember Moon comes to the purple brand to tangle with Cora Jade, Xyon Quinn attempts to continue his hot streak against Oney Lorcan, and Ikemen Jiro takes on Malik Blade.

Moon recently revealed that she’s seeking a different approach after losing four consecutive matches, while the 20-year-old Jade is in search of an early career-defining victory at the expense of the veteran.

Will the former NXT Women’s Champion employ a win-at-all-costs strategy to break out of her funk, and will it be enough to defeat the upstart?

Quinn has turned heads ever since bursting onto the scene in NXT 2.0 and 205 Live, racking up impressive victories against the likes of Boa and Andre Chase.

The newcomer is about to receive what is arguably his toughest test to date, however, as he’ll match wits and fists with Lorcan, a former NXT Tag Team Champion. Having recently been betrayed by Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland, the no-nonsense brawler is all but certain to be in a foul mood and looking to take out his frustrations on the rookie.

Plus, after welcoming everyone to the “Ike-Mansion” on NXT earlier this week, the eccentric Jiro will seek his third win in his last four matches when he collides with Blade. In his first match in WWE, Blade came up short against Boa on NXT 2.0, but the acrobatic Superstar nevertheless made a strong impression on the WWE Universe, doling out rapid-fire kicks and landing a picture-perfect crossbody from the top rope to nearly score the upset.

Full 205 Live preview for Oct. 1, 2021, featuring Dante Chase making his first appearance on 205 Live and battling Malik Blade, Amari Miller and Valentina Feroz locking horns in a highly anticipated rematch, and Ikemen Jiro and Trey Baxter joining forces for a slugfest with Imperium.

Jiro and Baxter collide with Imperium on 205 Live
On a thrilling edition of 205 Live, Dante Chase makes his first appearance on the purple brand and battles Malik Blade, Amari Miller and Valentina Feroz lock horns in a highly anticipated rematch, and Ikemen Jiro and Trey Baxter join forces for a slugfest with Imperium.

The WWE Universe is in for a classic clash of acrobatics against technical grappling when the flashy and fun-loving Jiro pairs with the upstart Baxter to tangle with Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner, two of the most serious competitors in WWE.

Jiro enters this collision having won his last three singles bouts on the purple brand, Baxter is coming off a narrow victory against Andre Chase, and Imperium has remained one of the most successful and feared teams on NXT 2.0.

Will Jiro and Baxter take to the skies to post an exciting win against the former NXT Tag Team Champions, or will Imperium prevail in their mission to ensure that the mat remains sacred?

Plus, after wowing the WWE Universe in a seesaw battle that saw Feroz claim victory a few weeks ago, Miller and Feroz will run it back with a highly anticipated rematch.

Though both relatively new to WWE, each has shown impressive poise and athleticism in their first few matches, and whichever Superstar emerges victorious could bolster their chances of entering the title picture.

While he’s still searching for his first win, Blade has turned some heads during his first handful of bouts on 205 Live and NXT 2.0. The newcomer boasts an impressive and diverse repertoire, highlighted by a picture-perfect crossbody that he has unleashed on the likes of Jiro and Boa.

Chen, meanwhile, claimed a hard-earned victory against Baxter in his NXT 2.0 debut, and the rookie will now be eyeing similar success on the purple brand.

Those first two matches were about as developmental as they get but HOLY FUCK THE MAIN EVENT TAG MATCH THIS WEEK All 4 of those dudes just went out there and killed it, that's also the most they've let Jiro and Baxter go all out since signing with the company I'm pretty sure. Imperium looked like absolute stars too, fucking push them to the goddamn moon
