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. |

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

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. |

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

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

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

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. |

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.

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. |

"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. |

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

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.

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

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

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.

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