WWE 205: 8 Key Additions To Make The Show Successful
A second tier show looking for some top tier talent.
The Cruiserweight Classic was just that - a classic. The CWC was able to showcase thirty two different men, explain their personal stories, and help shape some of the best matches of the year and still be under a half hour time limit. Not only did it give exposure to some of WWE's upcoming talents like Rich Swann, but it gave a casual fan a look into other wrestling worlds and other stars who were making the jump to the big time.
That jump, however, has been marred with lackluster presentations, bad writing, and a less then adequate amount of time to really show the WWE audience why the Cruiserweights matter. Instead of thirty two individual stories, we get one challenger for the title and a bunch of tag team matches with mixed results for both.
Luckily, WWE has decided to hit the reset button and give us WWE 205 Live, a show that is dedicated to the cruiserweights. There are many questions facing the show right now, but one of the biggest is the roster. Totaling about fifteen wrestlers, 205 doesn't necessarily have that star power that the WWE shows have. If they want the show to take off, WWE needs to expand their available talent pool considerably.
Here are eight key additions that WWE should look into for 205 Live.
8. Austin Aries
If you take a quick look at the roster of cruiserweights, you see mostly faces, with about four or five heels in total. The need for great heels is apparent in the roster of 205 Live, and that's where The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived comes in.
Austin Aries is fine as a face, but phenomenal as a heel. His charisma is what has gotten him over in other promotions, but his way around a mic is what makes him truly memorable. Since there are no great mic workers on the 205 roster, Aries would be a welcome addition. His presence is magnetic, and his words can really resonate with the crowd. If you need someone to verbally push another superstar to that upper echelon, put him on Aries back and watch him run.
