HIDEO ITAMI VIDEO PACKAGE- A good run-down of his history in WWE and how it has led to his current mental state and tonight’s match with former partner Akira Tozawa.
DREW GULAK PROMO- good, but I really hate this “anti-high-flyer” character. There is just something about it that feels both cliché and stupid. It’s like the quintessential gimmick for someone booking a cruiserweight division but not actually caring about it.
DREW GULAK vs. GRAN METALIK (w/Lucha House Party)- 6/10
Good but not much happening. Lots of showy Lucha from Metalik. Kendrick & Gallagher were on commentary to bury Lucha House Party, so I guess that’s their next feud.
BUDDY MURPHY VIDEO PACKAGE- fine
TJP vs. CHRISTOPHER GUY- no rating, meh squash
I’m not sure who this “Christopher Guy” is, but he’s a lot smaller than the last guy to use that name in WWE. In fact, I’m pretty sure this imposter is the dastardly Juan Francisco de Coronado! Why he has chosen to steal Scotty Goldman’s alternate identity I’m not sure, but it will probably pay off in CHIKARA at some point.
Apparently TJP is in an angle where he feels he is underutilized so he wants to go to Smackdown. Aren’t the Cruiserweights Raw wrestlers?
DASHA FUENTES INTERVIEWS TJP- fine.
He wants more of a challenge.
They used fan Tweets to put over the matches that Cedric and Ali had on the European tour.
VIC JOSEPH’S SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH CEDRIC ALEXANDER- decent
DASHA FUENTES INTERVIEWS AKIRA TOZAWA- good
HIDEO ITAMI vs. AKIRA TOZAWA- 8/10
Another great episode of 205 Live.
