The main focus was the growing tension between Itami and Dorado, and that bled over onto Tozawa and Metalik. Itami and Dorado were very aggressive, and though Tozawa and Metalik fought most of the match as they usually would, it did end up in a brawl that ended the bout without a winner.

This one went on for a good amount of time, and it had many believable near falls towards the end. Both guys looked very good and hit many strong moves. It had a nice build to it that drew the crowd in, and through the finishing move didn&#8217;t look super great to me, everything leading up to that definitely made both of these wrestlers stand out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrake Maverick reflects on his first few months as the GM of 205 Live.
