Makes sense considering how poorly the WWE handled the show overall and for the past several weeks, it kept sliding down the Network's Top 10/20 weekly shows for viewers.

Similar to the division itself, everything about the show was handled bad and supposedly Vince's fault from how hands-on he was for it.

Let's take all this high flying exciting talent that had matches ranging from good to phenomenal in a tournament, tell them to tone their style and speed down, put them on Raw with purple ropes setup that slows the pace of Raw down and have their division so isolated that they don't interact with the rest of the roster. For some reason, Kalisto is on the main roster though. Then give them an hour on the Network as well and just do whatever.

What a fucking shit show.

Really hope they just scrap it. Maybe have to thin the numbers and put some between NXT, Smackdown and Raw because there is some real talent there. But they don't need to be in this watered down shit.

It always seemed like a shockingly bad idea to expect the live audience to stick around for a cruiserweight show AFTER Smackdown. Talk about trying to send the crowd home on the most anti-climactic note possible. "We just watched a 2 hour show headlined by John fucking Cena... Now let's stick around for another hour to basically watch an indy show!"

^ Right? I have zero clue why they didn't have it before SD. Has there ever been any excuse publicized?

Main Event used to be taped before Smackdown prior to Superstars getting canceled.

Guess WWE didn't feel like moving 205 Live to Main Event's spot when Main Event got moved to Mondays for tapings.

Been enjoying the matches on Raw lately.

They should just do 4 weeks of tapings one weekend a month or something at some small venue with a "hot crowd," would be way better

Feel like they need to do more "story" segments on RAW to promote that the Cruiserweight division isn't just a bunch of random matches that mean nothing anymore..... (even though there still is that, especially on RAW)

Like this opening segment here...... cut some of the RAW filler/Titus O'Neil and have this instead......

I am surprised it lasted this long. When the cw division showed up on raw I gave it a chance. Within two weeks I lost all interest and now I fast forward. It is not compelling to the masses.

Nor is WWE in general going by the ratings. Ohhohohoho

That tweet is from yesterday and that's the only mention of the time being dropped.

In reality the show usually runs between 45-50 minutes and Talking Smack is immediately after. I think the 10:30 Talking Smack listing is just arbitrary.

Sometimes in the guide, it shows 205 Live as half an hour, and Talking Smack the half hour after.....

Other times it shows a full hour for 205 Live, followed by Talking Smack.

I have found no rhyme or reason why it does this.....
