205 Why is it Live?
I know I’ll stick around after Smackdown to watch 205 Live, but part of the incentive is knowing that Daniel Bryan’s hot takes on Talking Smack will be there afterwards to help keep me warm through the cold winter nights. However, if I was there in the arena and had just spent the past three hours packed shoulder to shoulder with strangers and knew that I was still two hours away from home (after being stuck in the parking garage and then the car ride)… Sure, I’d be tempted to leave early.
I’m still really looking forward to 205 Live because of all the advancements to the cruiserweight division that are sure to come from it. Storylines? Characters? Matches that don’t involve six men picked at random? I believe it’s possible on this show. I just don’t know how they expect people in the arena to stick around for it.
