How do you like 205😁Live so far? It’s been the best show for me and my bro since the CWC Who are your favorites Least favorites?
There’s a couple of series of matches that were phenomenal.
Mustafa Ali really stood out. Also Cedric Alexander

Drew Gulak has proven to be one of the best characters on WWE TV. He owns his character. Enzo Amore is one that I didn't expect to be so good in the spot he is in. He is so entertaining. I've loved him since his debut and I was kind of nervous about his heel turn but it's been awesome.
I've also grown to love Tony Nese. His abs are becoming my friends. Despite all the hype around Cedric Alexander, I don't see anything in him. I'm not invested in him at all and he's all around the most underwhelming guy on the roster for me other than Ariya Daivari.

During the Austin Aries era of 205 Live I watched it religiously. Sadly now, I just haven't. Not that it isn't good still - I am sure it is. Just Austin Aries being one of my favourites gave me a reason to watch the show.

I haven't watched that much 205 Live... Maybe a couple of episodes, plus some clips on YouTube, and I've been to a couple of tapings. But the guys I have thoughts on:
-What I've seen of Drew Gulak since he started doing the no fly zone stuff has been great. -I still like TJP, mostly because of his entrance rather than anything else. -I like the idea of Tony Nese as the Narcissist type, but haven't seen it amount to much entertainment (although I may have missed it). -I liked Jack Gallagher around this time last year, but his routine was always going to be short lived. -Love Enzo. -Kalisto I had high expectations for in general, was hoping he'd be their Rey Mysterio replacement. And it's never really taken off. Nor has he established himself as his own thing, he's still like a poor man's Rey Rey. -Enjoyed Rich Swann for about as long as his initial push lasted. -Neville was great, obviously.
In general, the cruiserweight division itself was just a poor idea. And in trying to get a dozen or so guys over at the same time, they've resulted in getting almost nobody over, based on the crickets every time I've watched it. It's never a good sign when the post-Mania Raw crowd, which is mostly the exact type of fan who did the dumb "bring back the cruiser belt" thing online for years, is more interested in throwing beach balls around than watching the cruiserweight champion wrestle.

its shocking how bad theyve gradually botched it tbh, i refused to believe it for awhile but its essentially a faceless trainwreck right now. i won't even get into the aries and neville situations.
they also need a babyface people actually care about. too many heel champs in WWE right now. howzabout enzo and johnny wrestling at mania?

Besides the whole Alicia Fox love triangle story, I have enjoyed the show.
I will say, it's missing something now that Neville is awol. He was easily one of the best things in wrestling.
Enzo is a fantastic heel. Annoying yet entertaining. Would love to see him realign with a heel Cass eventually.
Neese & Gulak have found their personality and it's worked for both men.
I prefer Gallagher as a face. His heel turn has soured me a bit on life in general.
Still say Dar has the physique of E.T.
Swann & Alexander are fun to watch.
We need to see more of Kendrick & TJP. Both men have yet to be fully unleashed.
The show is fun, but we need more talent.
Neville vs Ali was fantastic. A MOTY contender.
I miss Aries on commentary.
Kalisto is a great addition, but he seriously needs a mouthpiece.
Still say I'd add Gargano & Dunne to the division. Dunne can be the heel that replaces Neville. And Gargano can be the underdog face that the crowd can get behind.

It's better than it gets credit for. There have been several really fun feuds, and you're guaranteed to usually get at least one really good match each week. Now that guys like Gulak, Nese, Daivari, etc. have found their personalities, it adds a lot more to the show. Enzo and the 'Zo Train have been great additions.
It could utilize several guys far better, like Metalik and Dorado. But yeah, it's a fun show.

I've always stuck up for 205 from day 1. Great matches and talent. But sometimes certain shows resemble each other with always using the same talent. I'd love to see more Gran Metalik in 2018. And curious how Itami will be used. Talent that could help put this division over the moon... Ricochet and "Switchblade" Jay White

There have been some really good matches
Dar vs Alexander, While a really stupid storyline, The I Quit Match was
Ali vs Gulak, Not that much depth in the feud but a great 2 Out of 3 Falls Match
Gallagher vs Ariya Daivari, Another good I Quit match, and it put Gallagher in the Title Contention back at Fast lane, so that was cool.
Neville vs Ali was Also Pretty Good.
Swann Vs TJP had a good feud.
And of course the 5 Way matches are good, but they're repetitive alot of the time.
But I'm Legitamtley not interested anymore, Enzo is the champ, Dar has the worst win-loss streak, and The fact that Neville is gone, has made the show boring to watch, Also Metalik, Cedric, and Tony Nese not getting a chance at the Title is an absolute crime.

I've seen every episode, Neville's run was easily the highlight. He was entertaining both on mic and in the ring. I liked Enzo's heel turn at first but he's just gone boring now.
The shows themselves can be a little plain at times but every now and then they'll get two people who are motivated and put on a great match. Ali and Cedric always seem to bring their A game. All the stipulation matches have been fun including the 205 traditional 5 way elimination, they are always fun.
I guess TJP is injured because he's nowhere to be seen at the moment and is one of the most talented on the roster. If they don't have any plans for him I'd swap him over to NXT. They've also botched Gallagher's heel turn, he should have been booked strong since the turn. I love the pairing with Kendrick but they've been lost in this whole Zo Train rubbish.
Itami should bring in some fresh matches but they probably will use the same formula as all the other new guys that have been introduced over the last year.

I’ve genuinely enjoyed any episode I’ve had the chance to watch. The cruiserweight stuff on 205 Live is more enjoyable than RAW sadly they receive crowd reactions like NXT seasons 1-3.

I have been entertained by the few episodes I have watched, but there is just so much new wrestling to watch from WWE each week that something has to give and for me 205 Live is the easiest show to miss each week.

Can't say ive watched a lot and even less now with no Neville and Aries. For my favorite I love Ali's matches I just wish he would get more opportunities at some big matches he's done great when he gets his chance imo. I like Enzo and Gulak but never been a big fan of Alexander and TJP.

I think the only episode I've seen is the one I was in person for (Smackdown after Mania), and, to be honest, the only reason we stayed is because Nakamura worked the dark match after debuting earlier in the night.

I honestly don't watch it now. I used to catch it when it first started as I was really interested in seeing Noam Dar on WWE television, but soon my interest dwindled and I opted for watching highlights if anything of note happened. Now I'll just see them on Raw and catch whatever recaps they show there. Really doesn't feel like it's been a year already though.
