Here's your 205 Live roster, bro

Just let it die already ffs

Um, is that all of it?

Time for some debuts I guess....

Mike looks so much better in that pic, wtf was his haircut from the last time he was on?

Yep, that's everyone. Sometimes Lucha House Party shows up to fill some spots, but they're technically Raw.

>9 person roster
How does this show even work?
I've honestly never watched a single episode

No one knows because no one watches 205 Live

Its like 45 minutes long and has one (1) title

It's only two matches per episode

They used to have more people, but then the main roster poached Lucha House Party, Mustafa Ali, Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy, leaving just these dudes, of which only two do the high octane flippy style one would expect from a cruiserweight show.

Brian Kendrick
Gran Metalik
Kalisto
Lince Dorado
Lio Rush
?

They’ll probably send some manlets back down like lhp

Luchas are from Raw and only show up from time to time, Lio hasn't shown up in a while, Kendrick is right there.

Lio hasn't wrestled for 205 in months and I think less than 10 times overall

They are definitely getting the non adam cole portion of the Undisputed era

It's a good roster imo. This is all you need for a promotion. 9-10 good guys who can go, make interesting matches. Obv you would rather see even bigger superstar talent in some of those spots but its a great start.

how many of them are actually close to 205 anyway

They are going to call some people from NXT to 205

Gargano, Dunne and Undisputed Era will add some weight to it.

They should put Breeze on there.

I like to imagine the 205 Live opening with all the wrestler's faces replaced by cats. Makes me chuckle every time.

If I was a WWE prospect and they were like
>"here's your kayfabe name bro it's Humberto"
I'd quit as soon as I possibly could because your ceiling would be so low it may as well be the basement one.

Which of thse guys are 205 or close to it? They're not doing shit on the main roster
Apollo
Gable
Revival
Colons
Zayn
Sin Cara
Breeze
Fandango

What is even the point of the fake names? They all have their real names listed on their twitters anyway. And the fake names aren't even cool or interesting. Mustafa Ali's real name is Adeel, that would be better than "Ali"

Noam Dark and Mark Andrews also moved to NXTUK.

I don't get what 205 is supposed to be. It should have been their third show and basically a step up from NXT and NXT UK, with wrestlers aspiring to make the jump to the main shows. But now they seem to treat it as another developmental division. With guys from the roster moving back to NXT or guys from the brand moving to another one and the move being seen as an upgrade. Realistically, I doubt anyone would complain that they went from 205 to Raw. But in context of their show, they shouldn't book it as an upgrade more so that it should be seen simply as a move. But as of now, people are transferring from NXT to 205 without any regards as to what it means. It just happens. Humberto Carrillo and Oney Lorcan made their debut recently and it was seen as a promotion. A promotion from what if it's just another developmental league? And why would a guy like Brian Kendrick be stuck in a developmental league btw? This shit as been bugging me for months now.

tl;dr im autistic

Humberto Carrillo is his shoot name, he should've just kept the Ultimo Ninja moniker even if he didn't want to go back to the mask tbqh.

Or maybe just call himself Ultimo. Would have sounded better imo.

205 isn't developmental, it's literally just where they put people who they can't come up anything else for. Like when you're too much filler to be filler on the main roster, you go to 205

According to WWE's billings, only Chad Gable and Sin Cara would qualify, but Sin Cara was already there for a cup of tea, and according to himself, he got pulled because he stood a full head taller than everyone else and that triggered Vince.

Speaking of being tall, you brought up Fandango, who is 6'4. There's a guy with a giant gimmick on NXT UK that's as tall as Fandango.

>they didn't even bother to come up with a kayfabe name for him
>humberto was good enough to them
that's even worse oh no no no no

I want to hear the introduction of Universal champion Colby Lopez dammit.

>There's a guy with a giant gimmick on NXT UK
who?
no there isn't

>The cruiserweights show
>Three mat based submission specialists
>Two stiff strikers
>Two guys who wrestle like ROH midcarders in 2015
>Only two guys who actually do flippyshit
>And one of those is jacked
I don't understand.

tony nese hitting the weights for all of them lmao

Oh, my bad, THE GIGANTIC Eddie Dennis is actually TWO WHOLE INCHES taller than Fandango.

Walter

LHP still count so there are 12 wrestlers

How much did WWE ECW have towards the end there? Christian, Ezekial Jackson, Tommy Dreamer, Finlay, Goldust, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder, Trent Beretta, Caylen Croft...can’t think of any more. Either way it sucked.

BAHAAAAAAA OH NO NOOOO LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD LMAOOOO
>>>>>NXT UK “”””TALENT””””

You're just missing Tramp Stamp Vance Archer and Shelton Benjamin. Regal was around too but mostly as Big Ryck's manager.

>Kendrick
Only one I feel bad for.

And how could I forget the lame gritty reboot of The Hurricane.

Fuck Vance Archer’s finisher. He would like scoop you up for a slam and then set you back down and do a reverse DDT. So fucking dumb.

they all looked like they've been created by some AI program

has anyone ever done a scoop slam into power slam?

Ali, Cedric and Murphy were the three stars. They need to replace that desperately. The truth is WWE doesn't need less brands because they're boarding talent like crazy and people need something to do. Guys like Tyler Breeze should be sent there and pretty much the entire NXT roster looks less than 205 lbs so they should have no problem rebuilding and stacking the roster.

I remember them trying to build him and Mastiff as a battle of the monsters.

Just cancel 205live and let the cruiserweights be integrated into the main roster.
Cruiserweight champ defend against all brands

I dont know why they just cant merge 205 into smackdown. one 205 match a week (the important ones). solves the issue. much like when the cruiserweights were on smackdown in 2000s.

This. Have Tozawa, Gulak, Gallagher, Kendrick and maybe Nese on either Raw or Smackdown. Move the rest on NXT to properly build them up.
Quietly cancel the show and pretend it never happened.

Oney Lorcan is too based to be stuck on 205

I mean, 6'6" is pretty tall

Too bad he's a literal lanklet

Werent there like a couple black guys in there at point?
Also, Ive only heard of 205 live, but never watched it.

And fill the roster with even more unhappy and unused talent?
A better solution would be to just make a third brand (maybe bring back ECW or Nitro?) and spread the roster out more evenly. I heard Fox will be having more shows than just SDL so who knows.

Cut Tozawa, Daivari, kanellis and kendrick, add the other strong style vanilla midgets and make 205 live the japanese stylee "midgets trying to kill each other" show

Cancel 205 Live, make a third brand, Velocity. Fill it with undercard guys who don't get used on RAW and SDL, as well as the 205 leftovers. There's no belts on the brand, the only goal is to be successful enough to get a RAW or SDL contract. Write the storylines around this, and have being sent back down to Velocity a real threat to the RAW and SDL guys, like you could even have a Velocity guy challenge a RAW or SDL guy for his spot.

Actually sounds based.
