This weekend, WWE is running the first-ever live events for the 205 Live cruiserweight division. The first of 3 scheduled shows got canceled due to ‘logistical’ reasons, but 205 Live will be in Lowell, MA tonight at the Lowell Auditorium and Poughkeepsie, NY on Sunday at the Mid Hudson Civic Center.
In addition to the Superstars of the Cruiserweight roster, special attractions advertised for the live events include “Woken” Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt and Nia Jax.
Drew Gulak recently spoke with ESPN this week to promote the 205 Live house shows and acknowledged that the 205 Live brand has experienced some “growing pains” in recent months. He also discussed what it’s like having WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore as the focal point of the show.
“If you could picture a nice lake, clean water, real clear, some fish in there. There’s seaweed, kelp, maybe even some coral. Then picture taking a bomb and dropping it into the middle of that and setting it off. That’s kinda what it’s like with Enzo. He’s the bomb.”
Gulak continued, “He’s such a crazy personality, and you can’t help but react to him. For us, we’ve had a couple guys come through who had a noticeably different fan base, a noticeably different set of production or time spent on [building them up] beforehand and being added to our group. Getting someone like a Neville, an Austin Aries or a Kalisto come in here. Enzo is like a neon version of those guys.”
