ALICIA FOX & CEDRIC ALEXANDER BACKSTAGE- she’s not a cruiserweight! Why is she allowed on this show?
But putting that aside for the moment, I think this was the most mature, realistic relationship interaction we’ve seen on WWE TV in years.
NOAM DAR vs. CEDRIC ALEXANDER- 7/10
Mauro got around saying the word “indy” by talking about the “freelance” scene. The match was great, although I suspect the sudden change from working the arm all match to doing head-kick for the finish was just to f*ck with Lance Storm.
NOAM DAR PROMO- great.
So Dar is a heel now. Dedicating your victory to your vanquished opponent’s girlfriend is such a fantastic dick move that I need to steal it for one of my fantasy booking projects.
MUSTAFA ALI VIDEO PACKAGE- good
RICH SWANN & TJP BACKSTAGE- not bad, but very Raw/SD, which is something they should be staying away from.
ARIYA DAIVARI vs. JACK GALLAGHER- 5.5/10
Not bad or anything, but if the angle is that Gallagher’s knee is hurt due to Daivari’s attack yesterday, then shouldn’t the finish revolve more around said knee?
LINCE DORADO VIDEO PACKAGE- he’s coming soon. Hopefully he gets here faster than Emmalina.
BRIAN KENDRICK INTERVIEW- good heel excuses by Kendrick.
WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Rich Swann vs. Brian Kendrick- 7.5/10
TJP is on commentary. His outfit makes me want to hit him. And speaking of things that make me want to hit people, whoever came up with this “outlandish” nickname for Rich Swann should have been slapped when he or she presented it.
Yeah, they’re going somewhere with this finish, but I just wish we could go a while longer before devolving into non-clean finishes.
Another good episode of 205 Live.
