His first proclamation is to announce a 16 man tournament to determine a new Cruiserweight Champ.

Both guys looked great. As the match went along, both of them started hitting bigger moves and getting closer and closer to winning. I liked how this one built up to the finish. I kind of wish this match had been later in the tournament though. I&#8217;d like to see both of them as champ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA re-introduction to Tyler Bate.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJack Gallagher hope his fellow countryman, Drake Maverick, understands the importance of a gentleman winning the title tournament.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMaverick talks to a crew member when Drew Gulak walks up.

TJP and Bate picked each other apart, trading holds and strikes that led to finish that worked very well. The pace was methodical at first, and it slowly picked up as the match went along. I thought this was very well done by both guys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a very good show. The choice of Drake Maverick as GM is already starting to grow on me, a new cruiserweight tournament is an exciting prospect, and the two matches tonight were great. I think 205 Live might be the show to watch over the next couple of months.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>TJP vs Tyler Bate<\/strong><br \/>\nCedric and Metalik had a great match, one that probably would have been the best on most nights, but I really liked the submission psychology of the main event. Plus, TJP&#8217;s story over the past few weeks played into (but didn&#8217;t overshadow) the action in the ring. I think that&#8217;s great to see.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new GM for 205 Live ushers in a new era for the cruiserweights with the beginning of a 16 man tournament to crown a new champ!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1128,297,622],"tags":[1129,892,786,493,272,668,1878,903,872,536,932,516,526,891,890,638,1395,1491,1332,1136,1365,1661,7,1879,1880],"class_list":["post-3470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-205-live","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-205-live","tag-akira-tozawa","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-charles-robinson","tag-daniel-bryan","tag-dasha-fuentes","tag-drake-maverick","tag-drew-gulak","tag-gran-metalik","tag-greg-hamilton","tag-jack-gallagher","tag-jason-ayers","tag-kalisto","tag-lince-dorado","tag-mustafa-ali","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-pennsylvania","tag-philadelphia-pa","tag-tjp","tag-tyler-bate","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wells-fargo-center","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-tournament","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-tournament-first-round-match"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3470"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3473,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470\/revisions\/3473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
