I guess they're testing it out but I don't see how that's sustainable. How many people are going to pay just to see the cruiserweights? Why don't they just tour with the Smackdown crew anyway?

 

[CM_Burns]

That's not gonna draw a nickel in these times that they're already having attendance trouble.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

At least 99.9% of the 205 live talent will use to be wrestling in front of 100 people or less.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

House shows in front of 57 people huh? Sounds great

 

[Karamellion]

I don't know how the 10 guys who already aren't able to keep the audience who have PAID to see wrestling in their seats, are going to be able to draw people to pay to see them.

I actually don't mind 205 Live but they need to make some more big moves and make the show feel different for this to work.

It could bomb and bomb bad.....we'll see what happens.

 

[prophecypro]

Man if NXT draws less than a 1000 at house shows then...




I do hope it works out though

 

[AquaCityBoy]

They ain't cancel this shyt yet?

This is all Enzo doing, if this takes off it’s because of his efforts to make the show relevant again. No way would they try this Neville or Cedric as champion.

No it isn't. They're back on the preshows and the 205 Live viewing numbers still haven't improved. Also the 3rd hours of Raw with Enzo in the main event had a larger ratings decline compared to other weeks.

I think it's very pompous of them to think 205 Live could sellout a high school gym at this point but I hope they prove me wrong. This dude has a hilarious take on it.

The only thing they did was OMG try and actually give the division more on screen time and have actually tried giving some guys a somewhat character and direction that it.

Sounds familiar just like the women division at the moment.

Enzo didn’t do none of that shyt. Enzo isn’t drawing no damm money. No one is saying hey I can’t wait til the 205 main event to see Enzo getting his ass kicked. Dude sucks

Instead of letting these dudes do a lot of the stuff they did during the CWC or at least a tone down version they got them working slow pace WWE type matches with a few high spot at the end of the matches. They give guys piss poor material and then wonder why no one cares about the division.

Campy love angles
The big storyline is who faces is going into the cake.
Having dudes wrestle matches in Halloween outfits and wonder why fans don’t care.

Discussions would be dead if Cedric or Neese were in the driver seat though. Enzo sells mercy. Thats why he's getting this push after the Cass injury.

After one year of 205 Live they probably planned on having separate house shows regardless.
