Why does 205 Live need to be on Tuesday though? And you can't say the name, because it really doesn't matter at all if it's live or not and WWE has no shame in people going "Calls the show 205 Live, but it's not live LOL" after they named one of their PPVs Great Balls of Fire.


205 Live would die a horrible death if it wasn't live directly after Smackdown. Like, the argument for it being BEFORE Smackdown is good, or even being taped before and then aired at 10:30 could probably work. But it not being around Smackdown in some capability would kill it, because nobody's going to turn on the Network to watch it if they can just read the results online. People barely do as it is, so give them an even bigger excuse not to, and...

I argue that expecting people to watch even more wrestling in a 2/3 day period is absolute insanity and that while it may be slightly better before Smackdown, I don't think it makes much of a difference.

I'm with Lopen in that I'd much rather watch it on another day, possibly Wednesday with NXT. But even then, ugh. More wresting in a short period. People forget all about 205 Live because they build up for those shows on Raw and then they need to wait all the way until after Smackdown to get a follow up.

205 Live is a niche show for die hards. You're only going to seek it out if you want more wrestling in your life. The only way it starts to hook casuals is if they stop treating the Cruiserweight Division as a piss break and a failure on Raw. But that means it doesn't matter when it is.
