205 Live Discussion Thread (may contain spoilers)
 
Please use this thread to discuss all things 205 Live.

How many of you watch this show?

Anybody Thrilla 04-26-2018 12:36 PM

Cedric Alexander is undeniable in the ring. I don't have a problem with him being the champ at all. I just wish they wouldn't let him talk so much. His promos are beyond rigid. I almost feel embarrassed for him when I watch them.

I think Jack Gallagher is going to have a great run eventually.

Anybody Thrilla 04-26-2018 12:37 PM

Mustafa Ali has grown on me considerably, but I feel they'll eventually turn him into the frustrated foreigner over time.

Anybody Thrilla 04-26-2018 12:39 PM

TJP, also dynamite in the ring, despite what appears to be some extreme douchiness IRL. I feel like they should keep him strong, though. Sort of like an upper midcarder on the show.

I guess almost everyone is sort of an upper midcarder on that show though, as it stands. Aside from the OBVIOUS jobbers they bring in every now and again.

Shisen Kopf 04-26-2018 12:51 PM

I do not watch this show.

Bad News Gertner 04-26-2018 01:00 PM

Can we merge this with the Smackdown Thread? It's taped on the same night.

Anybody Thrilla 04-26-2018 01:04 PM

They should give Gulak a Neville-like run with the title. Seemingly unbeatable. Ruthless.

If you think it should be then we can merge it
Gertner always 'the voice of reason' in tpww it seems

Shisen Kopf 04-26-2018 01:27 PM

Yeah really should be merged. It's not television bc it's on the network its TV. Doesnt deserve it own thread

Anybody Thrilla 04-26-2018 01:29 PM

There really are real people who watch 205 Live. Not sure why being annoying has taken such precedence for you guys.

Bad News Gertner 04-26-2018 03:13 PM

Just trying to clean up the forums

Those people who watch 205 Live seem to enjoy talking about it in the SmackDown! thread though not here...

Shisen Kopf 04-26-2018 04:09 PM

205 Live should be renamed Smackdown Jr. Prob should just merge the threads

To what benefit? Do whatever you want. Just encouraging you to be mindful. Why are you mad?

Mr. Nerfect 04-26-2018 07:18 PM

I do not watch 205 Live, but I clicked on this to see Thrilla's sig.

The division is just so worthless. Why does it exist? Cruiserweights work the heavyweights and the heavies work like cruisers. It's layers of redundant to me. I've heard the booking has gotten better, but it's like...why should I give a fuck? Wasn't Cedric Alexander fighting over a girl with...fuck, I can't even remember who it was now.

Fignuts 04-26-2018 07:50 PM

People are enjoying the matches. I don't know what else to tell you.

Emperor Smeat 04-26-2018 08:02 PM

It's been a lot better overall since they hit the reboot switch after Enzo got released. Also helps that Vince supposedly no longer has any real hands-on involvement with the brand anymore.

All of this is fair. I'm just trying to avoid spoilers erstwhile.

Yeah, that's fair enough. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but my investment in the cruiserweights is limited to discussion about just how surreal it is that Vince McMahon...Vincent Kennedy Mc-fucking-Mahon...has a show entirely dedicated to cruiserweights in 2018. It's just so bizarre to me, and it weirds me out that no one else can seem to understand why. Vince McMahon. Cruiserweights. "Let's make them stars." What the fuck?

This is like if he put the WWE Title on Velocity in 2006. It's just odd. I mean, it's clear he still doesn't understand what he was doing with them, haha, but the idea that he's like "There's money in these small guys!" is hysterical to me. Whatever.

Mr. Nerfect 04-27-2018 07:06 PM

"You know what we need to do, Steph? We need to push Christian. That will put the asses in the seats."
"But what about the Batista experiment?"
"Screw the Batista experiment! We need Christian in our main events!"

It's just so uncharacteristically Vince that he would get worked by a cruiserweight tournament. Mind blowing.

Anybody Thrilla 04-29-2018 01:57 PM

I think the cruiserweight match on TGRR was the best match on the show, for whatever that's worth.

Mr. Nerfect 04-30-2018 07:54 AM

I missed the start of it. The highlights looked cool. I'm at the stage of my fandom where I have to be emotionally invested to really be impressed by the moves. Unfortunately, it might be too far gone for these guys to get me. Kalisto has made me go "Wow" a few times, but then he does something like feuds with Alberto Del Rio or Ryback and I just miss Rey Rey.

Lock Jaw 05-01-2018 10:15 PM

Tozawa and Hideo implode

Should make for a good feud

Emperor Smeat 05-01-2018 10:26 PM

Jobber messed up big time in his match against Buddy Murphy. Got legit KOed because he didn't protect himself for a move.

mike adamle 05-02-2018 05:21 AM

Should probably keep the 205 live discussion in the SmackDown! thread since it only got 2 posts here...

Mr. Nerfect 05-02-2018 09:50 AM

So weird that Buddy Murphy is a guy that exists.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-02-2018 10:01 AM

Man, I miss 205 live convos being in the Smackdown thread. Just seemed "right".

Shisen Kopf 05-03-2018 07:11 AM

I gave it a shot on Tuesday and wasn't impressed. Not nearly enough flippy shit. They should get rid of half the boring roster and bring in a bunch of Japanese and Latin rasslers to do said flippy shit. That's all cruiserweight rasslin really is about.

Anybody Thrilla 05-05-2018 01:45 PM

Really good Gulak/Kalisto match this week.

Anybody Thrilla 05-05-2018 01:46 PM

Gulak will be a great cruiserweight champion one day.

I like him. Apparently Alexa Bliss does too.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-05-2018 07:52 PM

Super active thread. Good thing we made this instead of just talking about it in the Smackdown thread.

Fignuts 05-05-2018 07:58 PM

People who don't want 205 live spoiled for them should just kill themselves.

Slit their wrists right in front of their mothers.

On mothers day.

Fignuts 05-05-2018 07:58 PM

Sorry.

In kind of a dark place ATM.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-05-2018 07:58 PM

:lol:

mike adamle 05-06-2018 10:49 AM

LOL at ABT neg repping me and calling me a faggot. Really taking it personally that no one wants to talk about 205 live in this thread

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-06-2018 12:57 PM

Doesn't quite understand the joviality of banter.

mike adamle 05-06-2018 01:10 PM

He'd rather just have a conversation with himself in this thread and drive off conversation in other threads. Very sad.

I don't think you have to take something personally to neg rep someone.

mike adamle 05-06-2018 04:58 PM

I figured the calling me a "faggot" in the comment of the rep was the part where the neg rep was personal lol
