I like Gallagher, Gulak, AND Kendrick (though Kendrick's a big miss opportunity and Gallagher's better as a face). Maybe a lot of it is Alexander. Dude really could use a gimmick, yeah. The heel turn just killed Gallagher for me. He had that one cool promo after his turn, but they completely stripped away everything that made him entertaining. Same with Gulak when he got all SRS and stopped doing the Power Point stuff. Honestly the SRSing of Gulak completely killed my interest in him to the point that even if he went back to being goofy I'm not sure I'd care anymore. It really exposed how he's really just disastrous in the ring in my view. |

Certainly not getting on your case in particular, but it's always so strange to me how bigtime wrestling fans, like the sort of geeks that would post here, are all "I hear 205 Live is great, but of course I don't WATCH it!" You know? If it's a good wrestling show, why on earth don't people watch it? It's the "this rapper is the best in the game but he's not the one getting the top sales or accolades" thing. If skills sold, truth be told I'd probably technically Buddy Murphy Truthfully, I wanna grap like Drew Gulak (But I did 5 mil) Ain't those graps drew Gulak |

Ali's one of my favorites in the WWE. He's got the workrate to match the best of them but he's got a lot of heart and puts effort into his character too. He's really great.

I root for Ali something fierce. Great role model as a person and boy oh boy could WWE use a face of South Asian descent for once in its damn history. I'm sure there's been a few, but not many.

Mustafa is f***ing incredible and it's so great getting to see him get some shine outside of 205 Live finally.
Also we gotta talk about how Ali Bomaye would be the most badass chant for him ever.

There were quite a few of us doing the A-LI BOM-BA-YE chant when at that SDL/205 taping last year.
I hope he sticks around.

Hopefully he sticks with not using the old top to his gear anymore, because it's a much better look without it.
And also, hopefully more 205 guys get opportunities like this, too.

Maybe the ratings and negative reception are finally starting to worry Vince.
You can't treat us like shit 364 days of the year and give us flowers on our birthday and think everything's cool, dammit!

So...
Did they explain why he was able to come to Smackdown for a match despite being technically contracted to Raw/205 Live?
Like, it's a minor thing in the long run but it's hard for me to get invested in something like that when it feels like nobody is that interested in building how their world works.

Nah, 205 is fine. It deserves more attention than it actually gets and offers the best stuff most weeks. Honestly if you axed it, a lot of guys would be lost in the shuffle. But a slower integration of talent to the main would be a better solution. |

No, but Baron Corbin's so shitty, just imagine he's that inept he doesn't even know this happened. |

He looks too much like Seth Rollins for me.

Oh man, I missed Daniel Bryan vs Mustafa Ali?

But a slower integration of talent to the main would be a better solution. But it doesn’t get that attention so what’s the point? I think that integration into the main roster is vital. It’s risky for those guys, just as it is for everyone else to rise above the booking, creative and bloated nature of the shows but they deserve and ought to get that chance. |

I don't watch 205 Live. I think Ali looked REALLY good.

Wouldn't be surprised if Bryan wanted to put him over and requested to work with him. Anyway, they really should just end 205 Live. It's still a good show, I'm sure, but guys like Ali, Buddy, Nese, Gulak, Gallagher and the others are too talented for that. Certainly not getting on your case in particular, but it's always so strange to me how bigtime wrestling fans, like the sort of geeks that would post here, are all "I hear 205 Live is great, but of course I don't WATCH it!" You know? If it's a good wrestling show, why on earth don't people watch it? I do and genuinely don't know why more people don't. It's my favourite show most weeks. |

With that argument you may as well kill everything that's not RAW because it doesn't get the attention RAW does. And that would be a damn shame. |

By all accounts, they’re great talents and given the opportunity, have about as much (if not better) chances than the rest of the roster to get hemselves over where eyes land on them. Like homeboy that threads about did on SD. |
