BRM Reviews the 1/3/2020 205 Live

[Big Red Machine]

ARIYA DAIVARI SELFIE PROMO- good
He doesn’t like all of these new people showing up and getting in his way. He also hinted that he would be coming after Raul Mendoza.

ARIYA DAIVARI vs. DANNY BURCH- 6.75/10
They were having a solid match when it was marred by a masked man coming out of the crowd and causing a distraction. Said distraction happened when Burch had Daivari in a crossface, so the referee not only didn’t see Daivari tapping, but also didn’t see Daivari hitting Burch int the nuts when Burch went over to confront the masked man.

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- meh
The masked man is Brian Kendrick, who cut a promo taking credit for starting the Cruiserweight Division. He then hit Burch with Sliced Bread #2. He and Daivari smiled at each other because they’re both 205 Live originals, I guess.

THE SINGH BROTHERS vs. TWO JOBBERS- squash
Stop it with these damn squashes and actually put them in a storyline!

ANGEL GARZA vs. TONY NESE- 7.75/10
After turning babyface for ten minutes so he could propose to his girlfriend on NXT, Garza is now back to being a heel again. The match itself was great, but I was almost too confused by Garza being a heel again and Nese suddenly feeling like a babyface to appreciate it.

A decent episode of 205 Live. Only decent. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
