New Network Cruiserweight Show '205 Live' Announced
Quote:
This is right after Smackdown instead of Talking Smack... And talking Smack is on straight after this. Guess they wanted to start taping Talking Smack. |
Like are Smackdown crowds going to stick around for this, or are they just going to be empty?
|
So much for Monday Night Raw: Exclusive home of the Cruiserweight division.
That being said, this could be fun if the guys are less restricted in the ring and they actually create some semblance of storylines for them. |

No, don't get rid of Talking Smack!

I'm glad for the Cruiserweights, even though ANOTHER show with wrestling is the last thing WWE needs (hello, oversaturation anyone)
|
lol,flop
|
I read somewhere else Talking Smack will air after the "205 LIVE" show...why not just air the cruiserweights show on a different night, like Wed or Thurs...
|
Should have done this right when the division debuted instead of having it become a mess on RAW first.
Have the new show as a way to showcase the guys in the division and RAW to continue or create storylines for them. |

They clearly wanted something live, not sure this will work though. |
I mean they do have a whole network for WWE so over saturation shouldn't be an issue. I don't think WWE expects us to watch all of their programming they are just trying to bring in something for everyone. So good on them, hopefully it is more like the CWC than the division that is floundering on Raw.

I feel like this is just setting the cruisers up to fail. I don't see many people sticking around after SmackDown goes off the air.

Will Roman Reigns be on this show? No Roman, No Tape.

People aren't going to hang around after SD to watch the cruiserweights.
205 empty arena live |
Hardcore fans will stick around for this but casual fans aren't going to hang around to watch a bunch of wrestlers they don't know, especially after they get big names like Dean, AJ, Cena, Orton in the main-events of SD each week.
"Mommy, Daddy, I want to see Drew Gulak, can we stay, can we stay" |
This is just the WWE's sneaky way to make SmackDown three hours just like Raw.

Smackdown cruiserweight champion time

If you "take the shackles off" you're going to have half the roster on the Injured list

Feels like if it's taped at the SmackDown broadcast, it will be shitty, just like the "new ECW" was... Cruiserweight stuff is way better with a smaller crowd that "appreciates" it and stuff...
Also are they still gonna be on Raw too... continuing storylines on both shows? Seems like a mess |
Wont' be taped, will air LIVE immediately after SD's main-event ends...will air on WWE Network right after SD - from same arena SD was in - instead of Talking Smack, which is getting moved to Wednesday Nights after NXT

Isn't this dying a death on RAW? It bothers the OCD in the sense that the brand split is already eroding. But I get that they want content for the Network. Going live is going to be expensive though, isn't it? Part of SmackDown's appeal is that it's two hours. Now you've got SmackDown, 205 Live and Talking Smack. It's going to be an even bigger commitment than RAW.
I would have kept things at just the CWC. Make it an annual thing and try to launch one star with every year. TJ Perkins would be fine mixing it up with Dolph Ziggler and The Miz in the IC Title scene on SmackDown, or being an underdog babyface to work with Sheamus on RAW. |
They need to pull them off weekly RAW save for a showcase match to plug 205L itself.
|
That would be the best way to do it. At least its own show will give it a sense of hierarchy. The women would also benefit from this sort of thing in time too.

Maybe a bit cheaper since they won't have to deal with actual tv costs since its Network only but then again probably won't have non-WWE ads for revenue as a trade-off. |
But you just know that they are going to stay on RAW. :p

Maybe this will actually enhance their segments on RAW? Maybe more people will check them out on the Network and decide "I really like these guys" and see their segments on RAW as star segments?
Hahahahaha! |
Its worth a shot. They have the arenas already booked, so the costs are minimal. I think the people that subscribe to the Network will appreciate the CW guys more than the RAW TV audience.
Its all about content. This is another solid move. |
The idea is fine, except with the idea of doing it after Smackdown. Tape it before and show it afterwards would work much better.
Can't help but think a better idea all together would be to combine it with NXT tapings instead though. Although I guess that would mean they would have to double up on the number of tapings held. |

if all this content was "Attitude Era worthy" it would be heaven for the 16 year old version of myself that is wondering where his wrasslin' gone tew |

I think this sounds cool. They can at least start feuds on this show and just show highlights on Raw as to not take up more time building for all of those guys. I'll watch it.
