Tony Neese looks impressive, and does impressive stuff, but he’s an incredibly dull wrestler. If Tony Neese won the title back in WCW he would’ve won it out of variety on WCW Saturday Night, and then lost it a day later on Nitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yeah, I don’t really dislike Neese per say, but I had zero interest in him as champion. Gulak has pre established beef with just about the entire roster, and I could watch Gulak wrestle anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 HOW DOES IT FEEL HOW DOES IT FEEL HOW DOES IT FEEL I'm for totally unhinged Oney. I'm less interested in Nese getting a rematch for the title, despite that really good match with Tozawa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireThunder Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Oney and Daivari laid it out there for 20 minutes, beating the hell out of each other. Fantastic match. I'm kind of surprised they let them have that match so close to Extreme Rules but we can probably chalk that up to "one hand doesn't know what the other is doing".

Swift Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I hadn't watched this show in quite a while but caught the Singh Bros on there this weekend. My wife (East Indian background) and I got a kick out of them and then names for their moves. The Butter Chicken Beatdown is hilarious and the Pun-Jab is clever. My wife informed me that the latter works as a second pun too as "Panj" means "five" (Punjab means Land of the Five Rivers) meaning that you're getting five knuckles to the head too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that tbh because I wasn't sure that some of the food puns weren't a bit much. Yay on Gable-Gallagher, a match hardly anyone will watch I like that The Chaos Theory is actually The Chaos Theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I will admit that I am looking forward to seeing a Spud match in WWE. I rewatched Gable/Gallagher......and the crowd didn't really seem to care that much for the most part. Which really sucks. I think Jack was a better babyface when he was full-on smiley Jack coming out to Les Toréadors and carrying an umbrella, rather than being a miniaturized William Regal (which is what his theme music essentially implies). He definitely had a crowd connection when 205 Live first started that he just doesn't have now. Don't get me wrong, it was a great match and I am happy to say 'it's the fans who are wrong' to a point, but I think it's fair to analyse why it didn't quite get over as it should.

The answer is always taping 205 after SmackDown. Part of the thrill of 205 is generally watching them taking the crowd from silence and scattered heckles of "boring" to that level of respectful engagement. They're fighting that uphill battle most weeks. I wish Maverick vs Kanellis was going to be one of our classic no DQ 205 main events. Maybe down the line. Either way, pleased to see Drake finally getting a chance. He's had a few minor matches on Raw when they were teaming him with AOP. In the small pond that is 205, this will be big time.

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I am fairly sure I have seen better reactions for 205 Live main events. Granted they have tended to be no DQ matches, but nonetheless. Also I think this is 'after Smackdown' thing is a bit overblown tbh. If the division was presented a bit more seriously it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the division was presented a bit more seriously it wouldn't be as much of a problem. The division is presented plenty seriously. It's just given zero promotion and has zero stars. Why should anyone care when they've already seen Kevin Owens and Charlotte Flair and New Day and Randy Orton and Samoa Joe? I don't care how good the matches are. That ceiling for audience engagement is low. And while you have seen better reactions, no DQ makes it easier. Things may vary slightly from week to week and town to town, but the trends are the same. Even taping before Raw or SmackDown would only be a slight marginal improvement. Nobody is there to see the cruiserweights. The solution is obviously to tie the brand to an NXT loop or do it at Full Sail. But that might add extra production cost. Nobody watches 205 so they'll probably kill the show off before they make any effort to improve it.

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Sorry, I didn't mean the present of the show internally was non-serious - it's actually quite good in that respect, thanks mostly to Maverick as GM. I meant presented seriously within the 'universe' as a whole. That's more the problem than when it is taped, as you acknowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Serious as in prominent? If so, I agree. Last time they were given that chance, it was during Enzo's reign. And that was so awful that it was seemingly the last straw before Neville told the company to fuck off and then himself proceeded to fuck off for an entire year.

Coletti Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 They just announced Gulak vs the former Shane Strickland next week, non-title. This fucking show, man. Also, Gulak was on today's E&C podcast, in case anybody doesn't normally dip into that thread and wants to hear a great talk with the champ.

Peck Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Gulak/Swerve was SO good. Just a fantastic job telling a story with the hand injury and a perfect way to introduce Swerve to the 205 world. Happy to see Lady Ref Jess work tonight too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
