Tiffany’s Takes: WWE 205 Live (6/11/19)

After a surprising upset last week, who is the #1 Contender for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship? Tiffany’s Takes looks at WWE 205 Live!
Cruiserweight Championship: I’m not enthused about ANOTHER Fatal Four Way to decide the #1 Contender when it’s pretty clear who the two contenders are.
I like that Nese is standing by his desire to face Tozawa and I think it’s silly that we’re having all this running around about it when the champ already said who he wanted to face.
The Fatal Four Way was pretty good, but it’s becoming pretty old to have a Fatal Four Way every other week and not have the champion wrestle. I also thought the end of having a double pin was too predictable. They could’ve just done Gulak vs. Tozawa in the first place and have some build next week instead of wasting time they don’t have.
Jack Gallagher vs Chad Gable: Of all the surprises Maverick could’ve unleashed on us, I was not expecting Chad Gable, but this was not an unwelcome surprise, Gable’s had almost no push for way too long and he’s long overdue for the spotlight and 205 is a great fit for him. I’m not surprised that Gable’s first match versus Gallagher was so great. I love when we get really technically sound matches as a contrast to all the high-flying stuff. I was disappointed by Gable’s countout win, but I think he’ll be feuding with Gallagher for now.
Drake Maverick’s Office: Okay, I love the self-awareness of Drake addressing his pursuit of the WWE 24/7 Championship.
I’m definitely on Kanellis’ side. He’s worked really hard on 205 and has gotten nowhere. I do get Maverick’s point about the complaining, but even when Mike Kanellis did his talking in the ring, Maverick gave opportunities to other people who didn’t earn them, like Drew Gulak while coming up with excuses to not give Kanellis the same opportunities. Put Kanellis in the title picture!
Singh Brothers vs Dos Locales: The Singh Brothers finally got their wish for a rematch after they were robbed of it by Lars Sullivan a few weeks ago. And with a nice win over Dos Locales, they should have some momentum to finally get a real win!
Overall Thoughts: So, how was 205 Live? It was okay, but very lackluster. The show is definitely feeling the loss of their top guys. Nese is great, but the booking is not working for him.
One thing I noticed was the hints that there is a mutiny brewing in the 205 locker room over the way Maverick’s been running things. Even though Maverick has a point about all the complaining Kanellis has been doing, Kanellis has reason to complain. He’s jumped through all of Maverick’s hoops, worked hard and had great matches, and then sees guys like Gulak disappear for months and then get handed chances to go for the gold. I also like that Dar is getting in on the…conspiracy by complaining about how 205 does things compared to NXT UK.
I’m really hoping that the Singh Brothers beat the Lucha House Party in two weeks. The Singhs are so talented, but being Mahal’s lackeys and the jokey way they’re presented has really hurt them and that needs to change. Chad Gable in 205 was a nice surprise and it’ll be interesting to see where that goes.
That’s it for Tiffany’s WWE 205 Live Takes! Tune in tomorrow for the NXTs.

King’s WrestleMania Rewind: Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka from WrestleMania 34
Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!
We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.
For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.
Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.
The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.
I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.
Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania
Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.
On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.
Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.
Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.
I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
