Anyone else just not really interested in them?
Just seems to be filler stuff when there are so many people on RAW not getting TV time especially when they have their own show already
Still haven't seen any of the cruiserweight classic stuff yet.
Not seen an episode of 205 yet.
I just can't be bothered
Am i missing out?

You should watch 205 live if you want to get invested in their characters and storylines. Otherwise it's just random garbage when you get to watch the 10 minutes they give them on Raw

205 Live is slowly becoming the next coming of NXT Redemption, so for that I am grateful.
It's not the show we should be getting though.

I'd watch the CWC it's a world of difference, 90% amazing matches, you get to know everyone's character, there's storylines within the tournament.
It's one of the best things WWE did last year.

Yeah you are, if you just go off of what RAW presents the Cruiserweights as, they really do come off like a pile of shit
On 205 Live you have guys who haven't even been featured on RAW yet, much more character development, and some pretty good matches all things considered because they get more time to shine and develop as a whole.
And the CWC is a must see, it really builts up most of the talent that would transcend to 205 Live.
You watch all of it and you begin to realize why Jack Gallagher is slowly becoming some peoples favorite wrestler period...

I'm trying to get into it but at the moment it's devoid of likeable personalities.
Neville is great but he's a heel. Noam Dar is entertaining as a sleazebag but again, he's a heel. Kendrick is a lot of fun but again, heel.
Outside of Jack Gallagher (who is fantastic) the rest of the faces are boring. Cedric Alexander has no personality. Rich Swann called Neville a "Royal Sourpuss", Mustapha Ali is good in the ring but bland everything else, TJ Perkins is an annoying cock. Tajiri has only just debuted so the jury is still out on whether he can be as entertaining as in his original run.
I do watch 205 Live though because of Neville and Gallagher. Seriously, Gallagher could become one of my all time favourites he's that entertaining.

They need to find a way to film before Smackdown. It's a bit disheartening to see Tajiri work in front of a dead crowd.
As it is, I'm just waiting for them to be removed from RAW. The short matches and promos they have on the main show generally add very little.

Aside from Jack Gallagher's appearances and the more recent heel turn from Neville, I just couldn't be bothered.
Still not crazy about the look of the show, and that they don't interact with the roster.

They're still a sideshow that exists completely separate from what's going on in the rest of the company. I really don't think that's helping establish the division at all. They're like a glorified version of that ridiculous SmackDown Juniors division from like 10 years ago.

Also anything involving Kota Ibushi in that Tournament was fan friggen tastic.

I've said this before but they should have had Jericho in the division from the beginning as the first champ. A genuine main eventer to make the belt look important and someone fans will tune in to see. Oter cruisers should also have debuted months before the cruiereweight division started so that fans could get used to them.

I still don't think that the wwe knows what made the division so special in wcw and won't be able to capture the same magic to do it again.

They're like a glorified version of that ridiculous SmackDown Juniors division from like 10 years ago. They're not going to get put over Owens or Roman or BRAUUUUUUUUUN or Seth or even Rusev, so they're probably better off NOT being put into matches against RAW's "important people", because there's no way in hell they ever get put over one of them.

I like 205 Live and highly recommend checking it out.
I think most of us probably agree that their booking on Raw is garbage and doing no favors to the talent involved.

Neville being able to have long matches again is a beautiful thing. If you ain't digging it at least catch Neville on 205 live. The guy is legit awesome and I'm delighted he has a platform to shine now.
