Daivari tells the crowd to show Itami the respect he deserves by shutting their mouths. Daivari says Itami has been mistreated.

It took a little while to get going, but once it did, I really enjoyed this. There were some unique scenarios with some interesting violence as well as some fun multi-man situations. Once again, 205 Live completely delivers on what is probably a feud-ending (or at least feud-chapter-ending) match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a good show, mostly just because of the main event.
