100% agreed....Having it after smackdown main event is absolutely death. It's getting worse too. It should be recorded before smackdown or raw, and aired after smackdown or before nxt.
Lets have a discussion about the RAW Cruiserweight Division / 205 Live

I just put it on in the background, but the booking is so crap. There's basically three feuds at a time that matter, so only six wrestlers get shine while everybody else is off tv. I feel like I've seen Rich Swann vs Noam Dar happen eight times already, and where the hell are Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado or Gran Metalik? Nowhere to be found!
And why the fukk has Gran Metalik had one match since the CWC???

Gran Metalik teamed up with Lince Dorado to face Tony Nese and Drew Gulak on Main Event or something this past week
Cedric Alexander is hurt I believe

Damn...Gran Metalik teamed up with Lince Dorado to face Tony Nese and Drew Gulak on Main Event or something this past week
They need to bring Metalik's CWC theme back and book him like the top dog he is.

Atlus / Ryū ga Gotoku
The show itself and matches are fine, the crowd is usually dead tho. It should really be taped at full sail or before SmackDown.

It's been drastically improving the last few weeks. Neville, Aries, and this kid Mustafa Ali have been putting on fire matches.
Cedric will be back soon and won't be involved in some trash relationship angle anymore.
Kalisto got called over to Raw so I assume he'll be involved.
Wait until Hideo Itami gets called up there... Gonna be live
Don't laugh but this dude Oney Lorcan is an extremely dope wrestler and I assume he'll be on 205.
Plus I could listen to Noam say ALEEEESHA FUUUUUCKS all day

Saw a comment on 411 of a guy who was there live, which pretty much sums it up. Gave a couple good ideas too:
I was there live and there was no reaction for anything here. I was with someone who doesn't watch wrestling and she was just feeling uncomfortable by how quiet it was.The difference between this and the CWC is ten fold. There doesn't seem like there are any stakes. In CWC it was win or die. In some guys cases (Aichner for example) the fight, look great but lose and are never seen again. Stakes. Here Nese loses again, who cares, Ali wins, so what. Tozawa beats Kendrick and..? This show could really benefit from either being taped before Smackdown so the crowd has energy, isn't starting to leave or just be taped in a smaller venue with their own fans, look, presentation ala NXT or CWC. I'd like to see it be the wrestling show aka CWC, same idea as early round. Get a GM in, similar to Regal on NXT, justba match maker law enforcer type. Simple concept - the belt is defended every week, no excuses.
Challengers can only challenge if they are coming of a win. So no instant rematches. So tonight, you have Neville defeat a challenger, then next week Tozawa and Ali plus anyone else from previous weeks on a winning streak of 1 or more can challenge him. That way you could tell stories with each reign. Say it starts with new champion, Aries has 4 week reign, the Dar wins it, he ends up having a long reign (20 weeks) but is beat up and paranoid by the end after 20 bruising matches, then is beaten and that is the bench mark people try and fail to hit until some mega babyface manages it, and that's your in built storyline for every show.

Making the show shorter isn't going to help. Just move it to before Smackdown or after NXT on Wednesday.
I would do this, start at 6:30 end at 7:30 let the crowd come down some to get ready for smackdown

This is pretty much NXT Redemption status, I don't think even some smarks could point any of these guys out besides Neville, Gallagher, and Aries.
