WWE 205 Live August 28, 2018 Results and Review Still Good Wrestling

Akira Tozawa vs The Brian Kendrick - 205 Live Source WWE

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick

A slow moving match that was a little boring to me. Tozawa would get the win, but I feel like we’ve seen this match many times before.

Hideo Itami vs. Michael Haize

Well, Itami was winning this match but out came Mustafa Ali after Itami was peaking up Haize for the whole match. However, he ran away, and the match was thrown out I guess.

Buddy Murphy defeated Kalisto

Here we go, one hell of a main event. This was a back and forth war, and both wrestlers threw everything that they had at one another. Murphy impresses here, with some killer reversals to Kalisto’s offense. The extra characters were thrown out of ringside, and wow, the framework here was nothing short of impressive with a lot of fighting back and forth, with lots of frenetic movements, and stellar moves. From high spots to hard hits, and more, you found that everything in this match made sense, and worked well. Murphy would get the final laugh, though, and boom, won this match.

As far as shows are concerned, 205 Live wins this week’s best main roster showcases, because of the final match. Great match with Murphy and Kalisto, and Murphy’s law that got the big win here. He’s destined to get a title shot sooner than later.

Lucha House Party Flies - Source WWE

We start with straight forward wrestling.

Noam Dar defeated TJP

This was a good opener, with a good amount of back and forth. Noam Dar was able to get the big win after isolating TJP’s legs, and offense that was countered here and there, only to get the big win after some time. It was a good match, with Noam Dar showing off a leaner build, and a faster counter attack. TJP loses again, and well, he’s not doing so hot since he lost that title.

Akira Tozawa defeated Colin Delaney

Hey, Colin is back! Only to get jobbed out again, sad. The match didn’t get started, Gulak and his goons stopped it.

The Lucha House Party defeated Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese

One hell of a match, with a lot of high flying elements, and a great deal of back and forth, but what ended up happening was a win from the Lucha Guys again. I just wished that we got new people wrestling, I feel like I’ve seen these guys wrestle a million times. Anyways, good fun, no complaints, another good showcase from 205 Live, only 49 minutes out of the hour, so I guess that’s a complaint. Good stuff, watch this. Main event.

WWE 205 Live August 14, 2018 Results and Review

The WWE starts 205 Live, often, with wrestling and this was no doubt a good example.

Lio Rush defeated Akira Tozawa

This was a fast paced match, with few stops, and the two were fighting back and forth in every way. From the top rope, to the bottom rope, to flying around, to submission moves, the two put each other through some great back and forth. However, it was the end of Tozawa when Rush was able to hit the incredible frog splash. He gets an incredible amount of height on that thing, and Tozawa legit had the wind knocked out of him. Rush is the real deal.

Hideo Itami defeated A Jobber

This was a job match, and Itami won, and he kept saying that people should respect him.

Cedric Alexander defeated Jack Gallagher

This was a worthy main event for any show. Gallagher put in a lot of work here, and was able to take Alexander to a limit for sure. However, it was Alexander’s constant fight that turned upside down, and caused serious problems for Gallagher in the end. Jack went into a standing Spanish fly and boom, Gallagher went out cold.

Of course, Gulak and Kendrick would run down and cause a disruption, and that was the end of the show. A good overall night of wrestling, that’s for sure.

WWE 205 Live August 7, 2018 Results and Review 54 Minutes of Action This Time

Mustafa Ali Knocked Out - Source WWE 

No talking! Yay!

Tony Nese and Buddy Murphy defeated The Lucha House Party

A great back and forth match to open the show, with lots of action. While the bigger guys tried to ground the Lucha Dudes, the Lucha guys were able to take on a great deal of action to the floor, to the air, and in the ring. They weren’t a match for the big guys, as eventually we got a roll up and a beat down outside to finish things off. It was a good opener, but I feel like I’ve seen every combination of these guys ever, so it’s kind of odd to see them yet again fighting.

Noam Dar defeated Sean Maluta

Noam Dar wins an easy match overall. Nothing too great here. Maluta seems to have lost weight.

Hideo Itami defeated Mustafa Ali

If there was a match of the week, then you would have to give it to this one. Hideo Itami and Mustafa Ali went to war in this match, and put on a 4 star classic if you ask me. Itami was busted wide open in the mouth, and he took Ali to the limit. The two threw everything they had against one another, and at the end of the day, Itami was able to knock out Ali with several amazing dropkicks. You would be surprised how good this match was, and if you don’t watch 205 Live, then you certainly missed out on something big here.

205 Live Gulak Attacks - source wwe dot com

The hottest hour that is only 45 minutes long!

WWE 205 Live July 31, 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto defeated Tony Nese

Why Tony Nese is still employed is beyond me. I think he's one hell of a wrestler, but the WWE hasn't given him a win in a long time, and the keep pushing Kalisto. There's nothing wrong with Kalisto, but some of the 205 writing just seems so predictable, that I end up questioning the bigger picture here. Nese put on a good fight, and he should've won this match, as he really threw down a lot of good ofense, but nope, Kalisto won again.

Lio Rush Came Out To Talk Trash

The most exciting hour has a lot of talking now too.

Lio Rush defeated a Jobber

Yeah....just yeah....wow.

Cedric Alexander defeated The Brian Kendrick

You knew the result going in. It wasn't a terrible match, but you knew what was going to happen. Meh.

WWE 205 Live July 24, 2018 Results and Review

Fatal Four Way Action - Source WWE

The most exciting hour of television is only 45 minutes long.

Akira Tozawa defeated Jack Gallagher

Gallagher was one of my favorite members of the cruiserweight division, but now? Meh. Tozawa was able to garner a win in the opener, and honestly, this was a fun match with some nice back and forth movements. This was not a squash, it was very competitive, but Tozawa would get the win with his Senton which gets so much air, it's impressive. This was fun, and I loved how Tozawa getting the finisher, with great height. Great opening match if you ask me.

Lince Dorado and Kalisto defeated Jobbers

A jobber match. That's it. Another jobber match on WWE tv? Why? Don't they have enough people? Seriously! You know what happened.

Drew Gulak defeated Mustafa Ali, TJP, and Hideo Itami

This was a hard fought match, with a lot of entertainment factors. You have to expect this from the guys on 205 live in 4 way matches. it was fun, and it definitely had a lot of back and forth. At the end of the day, however, it was the slow and methodical pace of Gulak that won this frenetic race. A lot of action here, including a lot of amazing hits with Mustafa getting the worst of it all. Great match, and perhaps the best of this week from WWE.

WWE 205 Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Itami vs Alexander (2018) - Src WWE 

The show started with talking, and honestly I don't know, I didn't have the sound on, so I'm just going to review the show's wrestling because I can't stand the commentary and talking on these shows. If you like that, cool, I'm not a big fan.

WWE 205 Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto vs. Tony Nese Ended in A Double Count Out

I'm assuming it was a double count out, because I didn't see anything turn out in the middle of the ring.

Lio Rush defeated Colin Delaney

This match was what you'd expect it to be. Rush wins.

Cedric Alexander defeated Hideo Itami

This was a hard hitting back and forth match, and it was a great example of what 205 Live can showcase, it's just sad that not a lot of people watch it. Itami put up a good battle, but in the end, Alexander was the one that would get the upper hand, and hit The Lumbar Check. Good match, great show, if you like pure wrestling, and lots of commercials for the network shows and the PPV, sigh.

WWE 205 Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review The C Show Or Something

Gulak Gets The Last Laugh - SRC WWE

205 Live throws the same things at you all the time, and here we go again.

Akira Tozawa defeated Tony Nese

I think Tony Nese is one hell of a wrestler, and yet he doesn’t get too many wins. Akira Tozawa gets through a lot of offense here, but it wasn’t without Nese throwing down either. The two went back and forth going through a lot of different arenas of pushes and got through a great deal of fighting to get to the end. Tozawa would get the win with his finisher, and that was that. Nese was not a slouch here, it was hard hitting.

Lio Rush defeated a Jobber

There wasn’t much to this. Lio Rush won a jobber match, which means there aren’t that many competitors in 205 live? Lame.

Drew Gulak, Jack Gallagher, and The Brian Kendrick defeated The Lucha House Party in an elimination style tag team match

As far as 205 Live is concerned, I feel like I’ve seen these guys wrestle one hundred times already, and that isn’t a good thing. I’m so tired of seeing these guys wrestle, and it’s usually to a similar conclusion. This time around, it was another entertaining match, but I’ve already seen everything that these guys can do against each other, so it bored me for the most part. At the end of the day, the match was won by Drew Gulak and his finisher, and then he killed the piñata in his honor. That was that.

205 Live is now officially the C show for me. Enzo at least brought some great entertainment to this, and this is just boring. No TJP this week, no other players, just boredom if you ask me. Not a great show if you watch this every week, but if you don’t watch it often, it was definitely a good one to watch.

Mustafa Ali Against All Odds - SRC WWE 

This must be the C show right? All I can say about these shows is that I really miss Enzo Amore. He was killer on the mic and could draw real heat, not like anything going on right now with the wrestling.

WWE 205 Live June 12, 2018 Results and Review Just Wrestling

Kalisto, Gran Metalik, and Lince Dorado defeated Drew Gulak, The Brian Kendrick, and Jack Gallagher

There’s nothing wrong with these guys wrestling, but I feel like I’ve seen this so many times, that it’s been bad. Not only that, the good guys win again, and it’s awful. I hate how predictable things are, and well, once again we are in a predictable mode and that sucks.

Akira Tozawa defeated Steve Irby

A jobber match, nothing to see here. They have such an array of talent, but this is how they use it?

Mustafa Ali defeated Tony Nese

Of course he did. This was a match I’ve seen one hundred times before, and it was good as always, but when you see the same thing over and over again, you start to get bored with things. It was fine, but I could’ve easily spent my time doing literally anything else, and guessed the result of this match.

WWE 205 Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review More of The Same Stuff

Gulak's Mean Streak - SRC WWE

I’m not sure if WWE 205 Live will ever turn a corner to be honest. I just don’t think that they are going to be story line driven in the same way as the other shows. I at least liked the Zo Train and all that came with it, because there was talking, and there was attitude. This show was just action, and little talking and while I usually hate that type of stuff, this definitely needs more entertainment value. If you’re just going to have matches, then there should be a few more, and more than just the same 6 or 7 characters. You can’t tell me that there aren’t enough cruiserweights out there, but alas, we get what we get.

WWE 205 Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review

There were only 3 matches found on this night of wrestling, mind you, and they weren’t all great.

The Brian Kendrick and Gentleman Jack Gallagher defeated Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa

This was a fast match with a lot of frustration from the Asian talent. Even though the Asian crew was able to get the upper hand at times, they made a few mistakes, and that was when Kendrick and Gallagher pounced, getting the win. Itami got mad at Tozawa and pushed him, which means that they will most likely wrestle against one another? I guess.

Buddy Murphy defeated Jobber

Yep.

Drew Gulak defeated Kalisto

This wasn’t too bad, but finally Drew Gulak gets a win with his mean streak. Kalisto did well to try and defend himself again Gulak’s offense, but in the end, one mistake and Gulak made Kalisto go to sleep and that was that. Gulak is such a good competitor, it’s a shame that he doesn’t get more chances at the title.

This was a lackluster show and it was only like 45 minutes long. Meh.

205 Live April 24, 2018 Results and Review The One Match Show

Gulak Beat The Hell Out of 205 - SRC WWE

205 Live this week was just one match. That’s right, just one match overall. It was a gauntlet match for the number one contender spot for the Greatest Royal Rumble event this Friday.

205 Live April 24, 2018 Results and Review

Kalitso won the Gauntlet Match

The match featured Mustafa Ali starting out and getting a quick win over TJP, but after that, he was spent, and out came Drew Gulak and he put the boots to Ali. Ali would eventually pass out in the Gulak lock or the GULOCK, and that was a good match. Tony Nese came out and really worked over Gulak, and I thought he had his number, but nope, he tapped out after some back and forth action. After that, we saw Kalisto show up and get rocked for a good portion of the match, until he was able to throw down after a Salida Del Sol and that was that!

Kalisto will face Cedric Alexander at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

A one match show? Ok. Not a bad show, but again, lots of missing talent. Furthermore, why didn’t Nese come back to cost Gulak the match? I’m just saying, he was very upset with his loss, and that could’ve put the show a little further down the road instead of just having one match, and that’s it. Oh well.

WWE 205 Live April 17, 2018 Results and Review The Weight Problem

Stereo Dives - Source WWE 

205 Live is a bastard child of the WWE at this point, and while this show was good, it doesn’t get nearly the same promotional consideration that the other shows get. That’s sad, considering the talent that comes through this brand.

WWE 205 Live April 17, 2018 Results and Review

Mustafa Ali defeated Ariya Daivari

I thought for sure Ariya Daivari had Mustafa Ali’s number here, but nope, Ali wins again. The match was stellar, but I can’t stand how they book Ali sometimes. He should be selling from Wrestlemania’s loss, and should be slightly distracted, and shouldn’t kick out of Daivari’s finisher. But then again, Daivari must be learning or something because Ali got the win, even if it was logical. The 054 splash hit and Ali gets another hard fought victory. I miss the ZO Train.

Buddy Murphy Doesn’t Make Weight

Buddy Murphy was 2 pounds over, who gives a crap!?! So now we get a gauntlet match for next week’s show. Ok.

Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick defeated Jobbers

There wasn’t much to this, it was just jobbers getting beat up.

Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik defeated Akira Tozawa and Hideo Itami in a Tornado Tag Team Match

I haven’t seen one of these in a while and it didn’t disappoint. The match was back and forth, with lots of action, lots of high flying, and counters. The lucha guys were able to get a win with some killer moves from the top to end it all, but it was a fast paced, flurried match with a lot to offer critics. I found it fund, and was loving every minute. A great way to end 205 Live that’s for sure.

205 Live once again showcased how good it can be. In just an hour, you’re going to find that the wrestling on this show is nothing short of spectacular. This is a fascinating little show, and if you’re not watching, you need to check it out.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review

Drew Gulak defeated Mark Andrews

This was a fight, a real fight. Andrews was able to turn things up with his high flying, but Gulak was fighting hardcore. He fought through a lot of Gulak’s technical tactics, but would eventually miss a high spot and then get thrown into a hard dragon sleeper for the win. Gulak, before the match cut a “Power Point” presentation name drop and I was marking out huge. This was good, and that’s that. Great match.

Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa defeated Two Jobbers

The WWE site has put the names of these two jobbers, but I didn’t want to type it out. Itami and Tozawa are fluid in the ring and I was surprised to see how well they worked together. They put the jobbers through some nice moments, and at this point, I see them getting the belts if the rumored tag team match is true.

Mustafa Ali defeated Buddy Murphy

This was one hell of a match. Ali did his usual spots, but Buddy Murphy was one step ahead for the majority of the match. Go and watch this and see two performers that were evenly matched with one just faster than the other. Murphy was just so good against Ali, and it brought the best out of Ali throughout. At the end of the match, it was Murphy that would lose because he had a shoulder issue that Ali kept going back to. I was impressed with the counters during this match, and honestly, you can’t sleep on this, it was that good. An incredible show ender, and I would go back and see it again.

That’s the end of 205 Live, and great stuff. Next week we will have Roderick Strong and Cedric Alexander will throw down for an incredible showcase as well.

WWE 205 Live February 27, 2018 Results and Review

Roderick Strong Kicks The Hell Out of Kalisto - Src WWE dot com

This week’s edition of 205 Live continued the tournament for the cruiserweight title, and it’s an interesting line up. There were some solid matches here, and despite the great wrestling, I still miss Enzo and some of the character driven interactions, specifically the dancing of the Zo Train.

Cedric Alexander defeated TJP

The formula of these matches are starting to get a bit predictable if you ask me. This match was good, and it had TJP doing a lot to ground Alexander throughout the match. It was interesting to see them battle, and it was fascinating to see how it all worked out, but overall it was telegraphed to be a loss for Alexander. TJP was able to garner a great deal of momentum until the end, where Alexander hit the Lumbar Check and pinned JTP clean. That’s the end of that.

Roderick Strong defeated Kalisto

This just looked painful at times. Roderick Strong worked well with Kalisto, but he was working like Dean Malenko here. It was fascinating to see Kalisto was able to throw in a few moves, but in the end Roderick Strong just had too many moves for the high flyer to overcome. Strong is a sure fire man to get to the Cruiserweight final. He’s an incredible talent and it showed here for this match.

That was it. Just two matches to fill 45 minutes of time, and they weren’t half bad. The crowd wasn’t that into them, but the matches succeeded in showcasing the talent and working towards pure wrestling, without a lot of gimmicks. Not bad.

450 Inverted Splash - SRC wwe dot com

The 205 Live Brand has changed since HHH took over. If the rumors are true, he’s throwing in a show that features far more work rate, and it’s fascinating to see how it changed. I do miss Enzo Amore and the Zo Train, but honestly, there’s a lot of great elements here with the transitions. This time around, we had a great deal of wrestling, and more progression in the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, leading to Wrestlemania.

WWE 206 Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review

Buddy Murphy defeated Ariya Daivari

The opening match had a back and forth sequencing to it that wasn’t half bad. Buddy Murphy was faster than Daivari at different points, but Ariya didn’t just let himself get pushed over. He hit a great deal of his moves, but it was Murphy’s rough and tumble process of wrestling that would garner the success in this one, and Daivari got pinned. The ending sequence is something to behold as this was a great overall match.

Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik defeated Evan Daniels and Corazon Delgado

This was a job match, and the mainstay Lucha Guys beat down the other guys, and that’s that. A burial.

Mustafa Ali defeated Gentleman Jack Gallagher

This match didn’t make much sense to me, Ali took so much punishment that he shouldn’t have been able to do some of the moves that he threw down. At one point, it even looked like he took a bad spill, and was out cold. Gallagher was able to win several times, and I found his offense a bit more crisp than when he was just comedic in character. Ali, despite a shoulder focused beat down, pulled out the inverted 450 splash and he’d win. It was great to see, and he pulled off one hell of a win as Gallagher once again loses.

That’s the end of this night of wrestling, and it was a purist’s wrestling showcase. I liked it, and you should definitely check it out, as it has a great deal of focus on the work of the cruiserweights. Not as good as WCW, but still a good night of wrestling if you ask me.

From what all the news sites have stated this past few weeks, you’ll find that HHH has taken over the show of 205 Live. He’s changing things up and letting more wrestling go on. It has shown, and we are going to be talking about this week’s show.

WWE 205 Live February 13, 2018 Results and Review

Mark Andrews defeated Akira Tozawa

Another round in the tournament went forward and Mark Andrews impressed me. He was flying through the air, and hitting Tozawa with just about everything. The ending was great, with Tozawa getting his finisher on Andrews, only to get rolled up and not let go of the submission and he ended up losing.

Drew Gulak defeated Tony Nese

Wow, this was insane. Gulak threw down technical wrestling, with Tony Nese getting some great offense, but not enough to stop Gulak’s constant onslaught. He would eventually put Nese into his finishing submission, and would get him to go to sleep. What a fight this was, and Gulak is not just another job guy, he’s the real deal.

The 205 Live Show has gotten way better since Enzo Amore has left, and that’s kind of sad. I liked the entertainment value of Enzo Amore, and the Zo train, but alas, that’s the end of that. Great show, go back and see this.

WWE 205 Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review Itami Sucks

Hideo Itami vs. Colin Delaney - SRC WWE DOT COM

Here we go, the hour of television that is supposed to be filled with the most action, and yet it’s boring at times, and other times it’s not even worth turning on. Well what about this night? Was this weeks’ 205 Live worth it? Let’s find out.

WWE 205 Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

The first thing that you should know is that there were only 3 matches on this show, and little to no story line progression. There was a little, but if you missed it, you didn’t miss a whole lot.

Gran Metalik and Kalisto defeated The Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher via disqualification

They have turned Jack Gallagher into a nobody, and The Brian Kendrick into another moron. This match wasn’t half bad because Metalik and Kalisto are great at what they do, but the other guys kept grounding them, and trying to focus on mat wrestling. I guess that’s what the cruisewerights are known for, right? They are known for their ground, mat wrestling? These aren’t all Dean Malenko, folks. The end of the match came with a DQ and the bad guys tried to break Metalik’s leg with the metal stair case and that’s really it. Not a great match, but hey, it was something while it lasted.

Hideo Itami defeated Colin Delaney

Alright, Colin Delaney gets another paycheck. I’ll applaud that any day. However, this match was horrendous. Hideo Itami kept asking for the crowd to respect him, and I just wanted to boo him more. He did the Go To Sleep and then went to social media and asked for respect of his move, and not Punk. Whatever, the guy is bland and he sucks, beating up a jobber on 205 live is not a way to introduce this guy, I’m sorry. Yes, I know who Kenta is, and yes, he’s got more charisma as Kenta than he does as this new guy for WWE. (they are the same person)

Cedric Alexander defeated Drew Gulak

Well, this was a hard hitting match, but Gulak wasn’t to win. He got distracted by getting on the top rope and then was thrown off. That’s it. The end of the match, and nothing major to see here. If you missed this, it wasn’t anything that good. Gulak is good in ring, but he is being throw into a tired feud with Alexander, and I already miss Rich Swann.

Overall, 205 Live was not a great show. It was ok at best, and while the WWE is trying here, they are going to end up eliminating this show, I can feel it. I don’t think anyone cares that much, and honestly, the same few guys every week makes this as bad as Ras and Smackdown. The Cruiserweight Classic was great because it had a lot of different characters and wrestlers, this doesn’t. This has the same old BS that other WWE programming has, and it’s starting to wear thin.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review December 12, 2017 The Enzo Show Continues

WWE 205 Live Is Tired - SRC WWE Dot Com 

I swear there’s more people in the Cruiserweight Classic than the WWE signed, and that’s obvious. But the shows that 205 Live keeps putting out seem to have a very specific amount of characters and it’s somewhat boring at times. Case in point tonight, another boring show with the same cast, and well, I saw it and I’ll review it.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review December 12, 2017 Results and Review

Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari

This wasn’t half bad, as I enjoy watching Cedric Alexander work. Ariya Daivari was selling bruised ribs. Drew Gulak was outside the ring with a megaphone telling Daivari what to do, but it wasn’t enough, Alexander would win big.

Kalisto defeated Jack Gallagher

This was a wasted match, Kalisto won but most of the match was Jack Gallagher beating down Kalisto. After he won, The Brian Kendrick showed up to beat up Kalisto but that prompted Gran Metalik to come out and beat up the bad guys. Not a good match at all, but hey maybe we’ll get a tag team match.

Tony Nese defeated Enzo Amore via DQ

This was awful. Just awful. Enzo jib jabbed and then got disqualified when the Zo Train attacked Nese. Then the guys forced Gulak to come in and beat up Nese, and that was that. Nothing big here, just a beat down.

This was a wasted hour of action, simple as that.

WWE 205 Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review The Zo train

The Enzo Dance Crew - SOURCE WWE DOT COM

Everyone should get on board the ZO train, because it’s the number one thing on the WWE 205 Live brand right now. These guys are the cruiserweights of the WWE, and it shows in a lot of ways. The night only had 3 matches, but they did some good stuff, so let’s talk about it.

WWE 205 Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review

The show started with a thanksgiving feast on the table and Enzo Amore talking to his crew of lackeys. He said that if the guys won tonight, they may talk about getting a title shot. Then they notice that Gulak is missing, and out comes a guy dressed in a turkey outfit. It’s Drew Gulak and he said that Enzo told him to lighten up. This leads to the intro and the start of the show.

Akira Tozawa defeated Drew Gulak in a Street Fight

This was a good match. Tozawa wasn’t dominant throughout, and Gulak put the boots to him. There was a bit of plunder, but the best spot was Gulak catching Tozawa from a suicide dive and then dropping him on the ramp with a suplex. This was chemistry and timing all rolled into one. One of the best spots of the night, and something that made this match my favorite of the week. Gulak and Tozawa fought on the outside, and then a table was introduced. Gulak was put into a trash can, and then Tozawa jumped off the top rope through the trash can with Gulak still inside of it, for the big win. A great match if you ask me, and a solid opener. Gulak would get ridiculed and put on time out for his loss.

Tony Nese defeated Mustafa Ali

Ali is so good in the ring, and Nese is impressive, despite his bigger build. How is he only 205? I don’t know. Ali threw his high flying style at Nese, but it was Nese with some quick reflexes that got out of the way of Ali’s onslaught and eventually finished him off. Ali was rammed into the post, knocked out and that was the end of him for this match up.

Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann defeated Ariya Daivari and Noam Dar

This wasn’t a great match. There were a few good moments, Noam Dar is faster than ever, and Alexander and Swann make a good team. Daivari also impressed with his timing, and high flying capabilities, but it was the good guys that got the win yet again, even though Enzo Amore kept interfering in the match. As soon as the good guys won, Enzo jumped in and started to beat them down. That prompted Mustafa Ali and Akira Tozawa to run down only to get beat up by the rest of the Zo Train, and that was that. The boots were put down, and the show was over with the bad guys doing the Enzo dance.

Now, while this wasn’t a bad night of wrestling, I have to ask where the rest of the roster is? Where was The Brian Kendrick, Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik? There should be way more guys on this roster, if you ask me. They should even bring guys in from Mexico if need be.

Gallagher Took A Beating - SRC WWE DOT COM

The last time I checked into 205 Live, the show wasn’t that fun to watch, and admittedly, it’s not that great, but there are a few notes to consider. I have found myself fully enjoying the show, at least this week, even though the crowd was quiet. Here is my take on it, as I saw the full show this week, thanks to the network.

WWE 205 Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review

The show opened up with Enzo Amore running down the roster, and again going all heel. I like him as a heel here, and I still think he’s way over. A good talker will always be over in the WWE versus pure work rate, guaranteed.

Kalisto defeated Ariya Daivari

Wow, these guys put on a great match. Daivari has greatly improved since the last I saw him, and he throws down an amazing set of offensive moves. I loved how he dove off the top with a giant splash, getting some insane air, and Kalisto fits in well with these guys. He’s so good, when he’s not cutting bad promos and getting mad at himself. Kalisto won with his finisher, and Daivari just didn’t get the win, but what a good match overall.

Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak

Gulak’s mic skills are great, and he was fighting to stop certain things on 205 Live as well as running down Tozawa. Mustafa Ali is amazing, and in this match he was completely great against Gulak, as the two work well together. There was a yin and yang to this match that you have to see to really enjoy, as it was a great transitional back and forth. Ali would eventually get the win, but not with Gulak throwing down some great offense.

Jack Gallagher defeated Cedric Alexander via DQ

This was an interesting match as Gallagher is now heel and he was wearing full clothing. He wasn’t in his trunks. Alexander beat the snot out of him, and got himself disqualified as a result. This was a nice hard hitting match, but it needed a stipulation, oh well.

That’s it, that’s the best wrestling show that WWE is throwing out right now, guaranteed. I loved it. Maybe you loved it too.
