Ring Rust Radio recently interviewed Jack Gallagher. Here are the highlights:

Gallagher on Vince McMahon being approachable: “The relationship with Vince McMahon, he is surprisingly approachable. Growing up watching WWE or WWF as I did growing up, you think of Vince McMahon as this larger-than-life scary character. He is a larger-than-life character, but he is very welcoming, charming, he sits down and if he has time in his busy schedule, which is rare, but if he has time in his schedule, he has time for anyone.”

Thoughts on elevating the cruiserweight division: “For me, it’s not escaping the division, it’s about elevating it. NXT went from a developmental system which was considered a step-down, to a completely separate brand unto itself where people are stars and they sell out stadiums and they tour by themselves,” Gallagher said. “In my head I think, if we all work hard, then 205 Live becomes good, the division becomes good, the division raises, and then there are more opportunities and then there are more interesting things for everyone as well.”

Working with Brian Kendrick: “It’s been really wonderful for me because I get to pick his brain, and he obviously has the experience on me. It occurred to me that when Brian first started in WWE, his mentor was William Regal, and he sort of has a reverse situation now where he’s mentoring a new little William Regal in WWE. I enjoy the sort of mirrored aspect of that.”

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

TLC is this Sunday and we have two Cruiserweight matches lined-up for the show – if I’m not mistaken that’s a first for the division. Cedric Alexander has found himself on the losing side of a battle with Jack Gallagher and Brian Kendrick as of late but he’s suddenly found himself a partner in the form of Rich Swann. These two teams will do battle at TLC on the Kick-Off show this Sunday, but I expect some more fireworks tonight as both teams look for some last minute momentum.

A week after losing his Cruiserweight Championship to Kalisto, Enzo Amore returned to Raw and berated the new Champion before having him beat-down thanks to the help of Noam Dar, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, and Ariya Daivari. It’s unclear why these guys helped Enzo, a couple of weeks after beating him to a pulp. Regardless, Enzo finally has some friends in the division and that should help him in his quest to regain the Championship from Kalisto this Sunday. Mustafa Ali came to the rescue of Kalisto but he too was beaten down, which leads me to believe that we’re going to get a big Survivor Series match between the babyfaces and the heels of 205 Live. Let me know if you agree!

That’s the preview for tonight’s show. Remember to download the free Ringside Talk app and get chatting with others. Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Enzo Amore has wasted no time establishing himself on the main roster, as he’s scored a victory over Noam Dar and multiple tag team wins. However, Neville informed the team last night that they would battle Tony Nese and former WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick in a Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match to decide who will challenge The King of the Crusierweights at WWE No Mercy. Who will walk into No Mercy as Neville’s latest foe? We will find out tonight!

Also on 205 Live, TJP has been stumbling around on crutches for weeks now but suddenly found himself cured last week, when he clobbered Ariya Daivari and even managed to dab. Rich Swann, like the WWE Universe, was shocked by the miraculous healing of TJP and now he has some questions to answer on tonight’s 205 Live!

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Tonight’s show features a huge main event between Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick. These two have been going back and forth for what seems like months now, with one constantly trying to one-up the other. It seemed to reach a climax last week when Kendrick called for a Gentleman’s Duel but then didn’t show up. Instead, Kendrick attacked Gallagher and the two’s tension truly reached a boiling point. Now they will face-off in a No Disqualification Match that is sure to test the resolve of both men. Who will come out on top and end this rivalry once and for all? Stay tuned to find out!

Enzo Amore has arrived in the cruiserweight division and made a statement last night on Raw when he defeated Noam Dar. The match itself wasn’t very good, as is to be expected with Amore, but he seems destined to feud with the King, Neville. This is a strange feud for Neville, following his intense one with Akira Tozawa, however I’d like to see Neville make short work of Enzo before moving on to a new threat, like Cedric Alexander or maybe even Hideo Itami. Regardless, we’re sure to get more Enzo on tonight’s 205 Live and maybe tonight is the night he gets the attention of the Champion.

That’s the preview for tonight’s show, let us know your thoughts on the Ringside Talk app and enjoy the show!

Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently had an interview with Al Arabiya English where she talked about different wrestling topics. Lynch was asked about Ronda Rousey potentially joining WWE with recent rumours that Rousey is training with Brian Kendrick for a career in pro-wrestling, and about the possibility of other MMA stars joining WWE.

Becky says that she would be happy if women’s wrestling gets more attention that it deserves if Ronda and other MMA stars join WWE. She also says if the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda will have to prove herself in a whole different way if she wants to come to the WWE.

“I feel like if it’s going to get more eyes on us, then that’s wonderful. What I want to see is women who are passionate about this, and that they’re doing it for the right reasons, and that they care about this business because we have been busting our tails for the past four years to make sure that women are seen in a different way and women are seen in a different light.

“And of course, Ronda, with all she’s done for UFC, would be a great asset. I can’t diminish her accomplishments at all because she’s incredible in her own right. But this is our sport, and coming in here you have to prove yourself in a whole different way.”

You can check out footage from the interview embedded in the video below:

We start off and Brian Kendrick talks about Akira Tozawa. He mentions how Tozawa made a name for himself in Japan over the last ten years. He still has a lot to learn to be a success in the US. He wanted Tozawa to be his student but Tozawa said no. Tozawa disrespected him so he had to teach Tozawa a lesson. He taught him lesson after lesson until Tozawa thought he could teach him a lesson. There is only one thing to do and that is to settle things in the ring. When he was ready to put him away but he would not go away. Brian says he is the man with the plan and the master. He is here to teach Tozawa one more lesson. Was what he did to Tozawa the right thing? Now he cannot think of a better way to end this than to have a street fight. He will teach Tozawa the final lesson.

We are in Toledo, Ohio and your announcers are Tom Phillips and Corey Graves.

Tom and Corey talk about the Street Fight and Corey says Kendrick has the advantage.

Rich Swann versus Ariya Daivari

Daivari yells at Swann about his shirt from last week and Daivari pushes Swann but Swann with a drop kick. Daivari goes to the floor and Swann with a baseball slide. They return to the ring and Daivari begs for mercy. Swann avoids going into the turnbuckles. Swann flips over Daivari and hits a drop kick that sends Daivari to the floor. Swann goes for a pescado but Daivari moves. Swann is sent shoulder first into the apron.

They return to teh ring and Daivari works on the shoulder. Daivari with a snap mare and knee drop to the injured arm. Daivari with a top wrist lock. Swann with a forearm but Daivari with a Harley Race knee for a near fall. Daivari with a forearm to the back and he puts the arm over the top rope and drops it on the rope.

We see Brian Kendrick getting ready for his match against Akira Tozawa.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at the feud between Austin Aries and Neville.

Neville is appearing via satellite and so is Austin Aries in similarly designed rooms. Corey mentions that they will be in a Submission Match and he asks about how this will be the biggest challenge for Neville. Neville says this is an asinine question. From the second he set foot in this division, he has beaten everyone, including the great Austin Aries . . . twice. He wants to know who Corey has been talking to.

Austin says if you want to talk about pretenders. You said you defeated him twice. Austin says that he beat Neville the last time they were in the ring.

Neville tells Austin to calm down. He says Austin has had multiple opportunities to take his crown and satisfy your foolish ambition.

Austin says he has earned this opportunity. He mentions that Neville put his finger in his eye to help him win at Wrestlemania. At Payback, he has him locked in the Last Chancery again and you grabbed the referee to get intentionally disqualified.

Neville says this is slander.

Aries says this is not slander beacuse this is the truth. Do you think you are the first person to put roadblocks in front of him? Are you the first person to try to knock him down? Are the you the first person to get someone to do his dirty work to stop him? This is nothing new to him. Everyone knows that you have been scraping by by the skin of your teeth and you cannot do it a third time. He will take his hobbled leg and he will take his anger from these missed opportunity and he will inflict pain on you. Austin says he has a catalog of submission holds and he will finish off Neville with the Last Chancery and he will make Neville tap out.

Neville says that Aries is hoping his knee will regain its strength. Whatever you want to tell yourself, you are not ready to step into the ring with the King of the Cruiserweights. Neville tells Aries to walk away now because he will not be held responsible for what happens at Extreme Rules.

We go to commercial.

Cedric Alexander versus Johnny Moon

Alexander blocks a kick and he hits a back elbow. Moon goes to the floor and Alexander follows and he punches Moon. They return to the ring and Alexander with a springboard clothesline. Alexander hits the Lumbar Check for the three count.

Winner: Cedric Alexander

We take a look at Drew Gulak’s campaign against flying on 205 Live. We see Gulak’s attack on Mustafa Ali last week.

Drew Gulak has a statement. He says he believes in a better 205 Live. He represents the traditions laid down by the greatest superstars, the cruiserweights. He does not think of showboats, people who take advantage of what they do in the ring for a little applause. Mustafa Ali is what he is campaigning against. If he wanted to see that, he would go to Cirque du Soleil.

Akira Tozawa walks in the back as we go to commercial.

205 Live is a place where the cruiserweights get to show their real talent on-screen and are well directed towards a storyline, some which is also covered on Monday Night RAWs. After the success of CWC on WWE Network and a contrasting failure on RAW, WWE thought of making a separate show for the cruiserweights. But things don’t seem to be going well with 205 Live on the network.

PWMANIA.com reports:

The WWE Network numbers for the show have continued to trend downward and it’s become a talking point within the company.

Not only is the issue with people watching the show on The Network, another issue is that people in the arena are continuing to leave before the show airs and the staff at the event have to move people around so it doesn’t look empty on camera.

It should be interesting to see if they end up moving the show before SmackDown airs or not. It was speculated by many that ultimately it would happen.

If this is the case than it should also not come as a big surprise if the company decides to stop the show ultimately. Many sources claim that 205 Live was seen as an extended hour of SD Live but having it on a full slotted 2 hrs of SD Live was a difficult task although it would have provided more legitimacy to the cruiserweights, but keeping it as a separate show is not ringing many bells.
