Drew Gulak shows up dressed as the &#8220;Gobbledy Gulak-er.&#8221; No one seems amused.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Intro Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n&#8220;Hail to the Crown&#8221; by CFO$ featuring From Ashes to New<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak explains that he is &#8220;Enzo Adjacent,&#8221; therefore he is from the streets.

Once again, Tozawa has a very entertaining street fight on 205 Live. Tozawa took a lot of punishment in this match, and Gulak looked determined and mean. Gulak hit Tozawa with numerous shots that looked like they really hurt, including punching Tozawa in the ear and suplexing him on the ramp after catching Tozawa from a tope.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nHideo Itami is coming to 205 Live.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTony Nese doesn&#8217;t care how great Itami is. 205 Live is &#8220;Zo Town.&#8221; Enzo us upset about Gulak losing when Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, and Mustafa Ali show up.
