With WWE releasing another 14 members of personnel on Friday evening, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese has taken to Twitter to detail how "no one in-house even watches 205" Live.

Nese was one of 13 wrestlers let go by WWE two days ago, and the Premier Athlete made this remark when discussing his on his WrestleMania 35 match against Buddy Murphy.

There, on the 'Mania 35 pre-show, Nese dethroned Murphy to become the new Cruiserweight Champion. But for the New Yorker, he was quick to point out how the Nese vs. Murphy rematch that took place two days later was a far better contest. In that rematch, the pair went 20 minutes on 205 Live as Tony retained the gold.

As has often been the case with 205 Live or Main Event - as shown by the brilliant series of Ricochet vs. Mustafa Ali matches on Main Event in recent months - talents are afforded more time and seemingly more input in such outings, with Nese's comments only adding further to the belief that nobody high up the WWE food chain pays all that much attention to those shows.

Friday saw WWE release Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Ever-Rise, Breezango, the Bollywood Boyz, August Grey, Curt Stallion, Marina Shafir, Arturo Ruas, Killian Dain and writer Kenice Mobley.
