205 Live

Singh Bros. defeated Lucha House Party (w/ Kalisto)
5.5/10

  • It seems like Lucha House Party are back on 205 Live for the forseeable future after Lars crushed them.
  • ….I get 205 Live duties the week Tom Phillips replaces Vic Joseph? Was this planned, Warren?
  • The Singhs are working more, and I like that. Lucha House Party whiff on an assisted bulldog, though,.
  • Lucha House Party recover in the ring, and it seemed like they had something to prove.
  • I like the Singhs being used as best they can. If Jinder is doing his own thing, let them wrestle. 
  • Singhs cheat to win, and this was solid, but the major whiff stood out.

The Brian Kendrick crushes jobber
SQUASH

  • Noam Dar is backstage and wants his demands met, but he’s interrupted by Brian Kendrick. Dar isn’t happy. 
  • Brian Kendrick entertains the jobber’s handshake deal a little more than he should have.
  • I love the different camera angles on 205 Live that I don’t get to talk about much. 
  • Sliced Bread wins it.

Backstage Stuffs

  • Mike Kanellis and Maria interrupt Jack Gallagher and trashes Maverick for leaving before the show. I thought Kanellis did great here, and Gallagher responded. 
  • Gulak, Nese and Tozawa all cut Stomping Grounds promos.

Oney Lorcan defeated Ariya Daivari via DQ
6.5/10

  • Oney Lorcan goes at Daivari hard early and overwhelms him.
  • Daivari has a GREAT single arm DDT/armbreaker off the second rope. I love this move.  He works the arm big time.
  • Million Dollar Dream and Iconoclasm for Daivari. I really enjoy his work. 
  • Half and Half suplex and a dive hit outside for Lorcan.
  • Daivari gets DQ’d after using a chair and beats down Lorcan. Oney is sent into the LED boards and Daivari hits the Hammerlock Lariat. This was a great performance from him.
