The final score: review Good

The 411

The gimmick tonight was that Garza & Rush picked each other’s opponents ahead of Wednesday’s title rematch, which was a fine idea to try and hype that match some more. The wrestling was a lot better this week, and overall, this week’s episode of WWE 205 Live was a good show, despite the fact that WWE is booking these poor bastards in front of tired and dead crowds. They either need to find a solution to the problem or drop the show, because it’s really unfair to all of these guys who work so hard. And don’t come at me with “these guys aren’t stars,” they are only not viewed as stars because that’s how WWE treats them.
