BRM Reviews the 1/15/2019 205 Live (great!)

Post by Big Red Machine » Jan 16th, '19, 22:21

LIO RUSH PROMO- a good, concise, heel statement of why he’s angry at Lincé Dorado prior to…

LINCÉ DORADO vs. LIO RUSH- 7/10
The rest of Lucha House Party came out with Lincé Dorado but he sent them to the back. Rush jumped the bell on Lincé to get an unfair advantage at the start. Other than that Lio wrestled pretty cleanly and got the win. Then he attacked Lincé after the match just to be mean.

KAYLA BRAXTON INTERVIEWS NOAM DAR- She asks Dar about his win over Tony Nese last week. Dar proceeded to cut a promo on Nese but Nese interrupted him and said his win was a fluke. Nese challenged Dar to a rubber match and Dar accepted.

DRAKE MAVERICK & TJP BACKSTAGE- good
This started with Maverick telling a referee to make sure that Lincé Dorado is “well-looked-after.” Shouldn’t he be telling a medic that?
Anyway, TJP wanted to be the one to answer Buddy Murphy’s open challenge but Drake told him someone had beaten him to it. TJP responded to this by rudely walking away while Maverick was trying to talk to him.

PROMOS BY BUDDY MURPHY’S ROYAL RUMBLE CHALLENGERS (OR THEIR SURROGATES)- Everyone was very good

BUDDY MURPHY PROMO- fine

HUMBERTO CARRILLO vs. BUDDY MURPHY- 8/10
Ah. Their insistence on the phrasing “anyone who makes the 205lbs weight limit” rather than “any member of the 205 Live” makes more sense now. This was a WONDERFUL debut for Carrillo, and the idea that Murphy had to fake an injury to get out of a tough situation against him immediately sets him up as someone who can be built up for a big title shot in a relatively short amount of time (like, for the February PPV).

Another GREAT episode of 205 Live!
