Egg Shen 860 Report post Posted December 1, 2016  i don't think they could have made a worse start than by putting the Bollywood Boys on first. Who is that gimmick aimed at? the US audience isn't going to be into that soft shit. The video package before hand was pure 'American Idol' stuff, sob story nonsence, then they came out doing the Bollywood dance and tried incooperating Bollywood dancing into their moves. Absolutely horrid. I see them as just a bit of harmless fun. I don't think they look overly great, and having them go over Nese (who looks like he could destroy them on his own) was a bit much, but they'll be a decent faces to use going forward.  Hopefully we'll get Cruiserweight tag belts as well.  Kicking off a new show with some harmless fun was a shit move though, my first impressions of 205 Live were 'well this is gonna suck'. Harmless fun or not it was terrible. If that's the kind of faces the WWE expect fans to get behind on 205 Live i don't think there's much hope going forward.  I'm not sure what to make of Jack Gallagher either, he's unique. He's got that going for him.  Is the show filmed after Smackdown? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus my expectations are already set thanks to the CWC, so I know exactly the type of thing that'll be on the show. Maybe not everybody else is on board, but I'm fully ready for a quality show.  Also Jack Gallagher is awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJM 20 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 As has already been mentioned, I would get rid of the Bollywood Boys (who really did not impress in the opening match). While they are at it they should get rid of Ariya Daivari, HoHo Lun and Mustafa Ali as well.  Bring in/over Neville, Kalisto and maybe Sin Cara to give the show some known WWE stars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snitsky's back acne 368 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Yeah, add Neville, Kalisto, Aries and Itami when he is fit and ditch Mustafa Ali, Bollywood Boys and Daivari and you'd have a great roster.Jack Gallagher's post match interview. Lovely stuff. Â https://twitter.com/WWE/status/804339514554519553 Edited December 1, 2016 by Snitsky's back acne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBurningRed 252 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 Mustafi Ali is quite decent actually. Ho Ho Lun should definitely go. He's not even ready for NXT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidB6937 638 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 I loved that they made effort with the videos and interviews. That's the kinda stuff that could really work well on the main rosters for making the mid card talent mean something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WyattSheepMask 1,848 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 Is Neville still injured? Seems like fucking ages since I last saw him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBurningRed 252 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 No, Neville has been on Superstars or Main Event. Whichever one was recorded before Raw. He was on the UK tour in September and November. I know he faced Bo Dallas both times Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosler28 2 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 205 should be filmed in its own arena like they do for nxt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Egg Shen 860 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 I finished the show this afternoon, the main event and post-match interview were real good. The strength of the shows finish will likely mean i'll give it another go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiger_rick 7,198 Report post Posted December 2, 2016 205 should be filmed in its own arena like they do for nxt. NXT's a development arm. They're happy for it to be a loss leader. There's no sense in running "205 Live" (which sounds like a shit Radio station) if it's going to lose money. It's bonus programming for the Network, filming it in a place they already have the equipment makes perfect sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So probably not happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
