The Dart Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 4 hours ago, BomberPat said: I agree that you can't please everyone - but, again, my choice would have been not to have a Cruiserweight division at all. The concept is redundant when people below the upper limit for that division are holding "Heavyweight" belts. As for the Loser Leaves Town matches, well, they've lost a match that means they're leaving NXT. That makes them a free agent, and thus able to be hired by RAW or Smackdown. So the cruiser division should have ended the moment Rey won the heavyweight title? Â And sure with Elias Sampson that was the case, but others debut on Raw or Smackdown with no reason, other than they've decided it's time, so they chose to be in NXT before. Â It's not explained it's just how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely weight divisions are either limited or they're not? Where's the logic in there being a Cruiserweight Title when Cruiserweights can challenge for a Heavyweight belt? In kayfabe terms it doesn't make sense to have that separate delineated weight division, and in non-kayfabe terms, if you don't see the Cruiserweights as not worthy of fighting for the top belt, then why keep them separate? Quote but others debut on Raw or Smackdown with no reason, other than they've decided it's time, so they chose to be in NXT before. Why assume that it's the wrestler "deciding it's time", and not RAW or Smackdown choosing to hire/call up people from NXT? I don't decide it's time I got a promotion, my boss does.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thinking about it, by the time Rey won the World Heavyweight title wasn't the cruiserweight division dead anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrasslin Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You can do "catch weight" fights but we're generally looking at them still having to be within agreed upon weight limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2017 catch weight fights still have an agreed limit, an 'open weight' fight is where weight limits are chucked out the window. Never happens in boxing but MMA have open weight fights (in Asia at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 24, 2017 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2017 Worth a watch this week just for the move that finishes the Tozawa-Kendrick Street Fight. It's an incredible spot, maybe the most impressive moment 205 Live's ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Decent episode this week if you skip the first match, which is Rich Swann against Ariyah Davari for what deels like the tenth time in as many weeks. Don't know why Cedric Alexander didn't come out to help his mate at the end of it though, selfish prick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Excellent match between Kendrick and Tozawa. That was a good fun feud, went on a bit long but rewarding. Love Drew Gulak's gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicazze Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 its good tv. always at least one good match on the show. This weeks was Kendrick and Tozawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 1, 2017 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2017 Never thought I'd see the day when Drew Gulak was the most interesting and entertaining part of a show. Drew Gulak! It really feels like Sasha Banks is slumming it though... cat-fighting at ringside with Alicia Fox... what did Sasha do? What happened?!

WyattSheepMask Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Absolutely rotten show this week, Sasha was fucking shocking. Only highlight was Aries smacking TJP when he did that dab thing after pearl harbouring AA. Saying that, can of Coke to any person that smacks TJP when he's doing the dab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 26, 2017 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm still watching this show for some reason. My main thoughts this week were that I hope Ariya Daivari's presentation of Iranian Olympic wrestlers will result in the return of the Iron Sheik, and that Brian Kendrick's chat about Jack Gallagher being a clown results in Kendrick vs a returning Doink. I also find it odd that the show description on the Network still lists Gran Metalik even though he's only been on there twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah, what the fuck happened to Gran Metallik? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 14 minutes ago, Ralphy said: what did he do? This is the only video I can find of it that doesn't involve going on the network (it's from 205 Live #12), go to the spot at 3:02 of the vid. Watching it again, calling it a mega-botch is a bit harsh, but it didn't help that it was his debut that they been pushing for a good weeks at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
