Kobashi v Freight Train MOTY

 

Cancelling talking smack because you think 205 live is getting a bad rap because of it is smart

 

205 just needs to be taped at full sail like NXT.

 

Yeah, cancelling Talking Smack is gonna kill 205 Live ratings. I watched a month or two of 205 Live specifically cause I was waiting for TS to start.

Ill be surprised if 205 Live lasts the year

 

That crowd is so burnt out on wrestling.

 

what's the issue with having it before smackdown? like, was there a reason the WWE came up with

 

Only thing I can think is that its maybe its a timing thing. If they recorded it at 7 eastern that would require smackdown live events on the west coast to start at 4 which is probably too early for a lot of people to get to. But even then, a half full engaged crowd is probably better than a dead crowd.

 

but raw usually has or had superstars/main event... if im not mistaken those started at 7 (perhaps 730). doesn't seem too ridiculous to have it start at 7. A crowd slowly coming in is a trillion times better than a dead crowd, yes haha

 

If not full sail, another smaller venue.

Full Sail is burnt out, but I guarantee that the reactions and interest would still be a lot better than the last hour at a smackdown show.

 

Then it aint LIVE bro

 

Well obviously you could show it live at 7

 

Having it before Smackdown would make a lot more sense. After Smackdown's over I've had my wrestling fix for the night. Kinda how I feel about RAW's third hour. Just not needed. 205 should be a warm up for the crowd that's there.

 

But what If nobody shows up because they dont care?

 

So now that SLADE is back, what does that mean for Drew?

 

Hot take on a pole match at SummerSlam.

 

Reigns heat

 

Hot take @Henry is gonna pull a run in and win

 

What is this SI nonsense?

Also, I just don't get how any one has energy for the last match of the evening. It's just so much to sit through. It's like sitting through all the directors cuts of the Lord of the Rings franchise and trying to feign some excitement in the final movie. Impossible.

I'm too old to be cheering too much.

 

Unfiltered got cancelled too. Did something happen with Renee?

 

Unfiltered got canceled months ago. I think that one was just a case of them cycling out shows like they've typically been doing.

 

she's also off total divas, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything i guess.

 

Oh okay. Saw it just being reported on a site haha

 

I fucking love that Nia is buds with G&A, she seems like the coolest
