205 Live Thread

Lio Rush wants to set the record straight. The Man of the Hour was never defeated last week & what's this rumor about Cedric Alexander almost defeating The Man of the Hour because he hit him with that Lumbar Check. He says that is absolutely insane & everybody knows in the multi-man matches it's win by luck, that's how you win by luck. In The Man of the Hour's book to be better than someone you have to defeat them in one-on-one competition & in one-on-one competition the record book shows that The Man of the Hour is still undefeated in 205 Live

Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese are interviewed by Dasha Fuentes. The champ says he knows DM will make the right call next week and put his boy Tony in the #1 contender match. Nese says he’ll beat whoever DRAKE puts in front of him, and it doesn’t matter which of them is champ the title picture stops & ends with them

DM the GM thanks Cedric Alexander for stepping into his office & says he does owe Cedric an explanation about tonight's main event. Cedric says he is kind of surprised after a 183 day reign as Champion that he's not getting his rematch. Maverick says he will get his Cruiserweight Championship rematch it's just he'll get it when Drake deems Cedric ready. As the GM it's his responsibility to prepare the best, most competitive Cruiserweight Championship matches & since he's lost the title Cedric has been on a 3 match losing streak, he's not at the Championship level that he once was & it would be unfair to the rest of the division if Drake put Cedric in a match with Buddy Murphy right now & it would be unfair to Cedric too. DM knows Cedric's going to kick out of this & get back to his winning ways & he knows Cedric's disappointed, but he really hopes he understands Drake's position.

Cedric says he gets it, he's fallen off a little bit lately, he's going to get back on track & when he does he wants his Cruiserweight Championship rematch

Dasha Fuentes interviews Mike & Maria Kanellis & brings up how outside interference in his match last makes his win questionable. Maria asks Dasha if she's sure she wants to spin it like that then takes the mic & says she's got this & tells Dasha to scram as she's better at it anyway. Then asks Mike how it feels to be the greatest Cruiserweight in all of 205 Live, before he can answer TJP bumps into them still holding Metalik's mask and says he's glad to see Mike & Maria. The Prodigy tells TJ that he's interrupting his interview, TJ says that as the first Cruiserwieght Champion he just thought he could show them the ropes & welcome them to 205 Live. Maria tells him to please shut up & knows exactly why he's there, he pushed things a little too far with Lucha House Party & now he's crawling to HER husband Mike Kanellis for protection, she says it's ok when opportunity knocks they answer & tells TJ to let's go talk some business

Cedric training at the PC with 'The King of Old School' Steve Corino when they're interrupted by Lio Rush, Rush says Cedric's lost all of his confidence so now he's back in school training with the rookies. Cedric says if Rush stopped carrying Lashley's bags and get in the ring & train then maybe he'd be a Champion one day. Rush says he knows Cedric wants to be Cruiserweight Champion again, but that's not going to happen here, what he needs a is a marquee match with Rush, he's going to let Cedric think on that, but he's not a hard man to find that is if they let Cedric out of the classroom & tells Cedric good luck with the homework

Cedric Alexander vs Lio Rush next week

Mustafa Ali: At first they called him a maybe, today they call him The Heart of 205 Live & at WrestleMania he had a chance for them to him Champion, but he let that slip through his hands & since then he has been scratching & clawing every single battle, every single week for another opportunity to be called Champion and now he's got that chance, he's got that fight. Buddy Murphy & Ali are on a collision course for the Crusierweight Championship & this time nothing is slipping through his hands, this time no one is going to call him a maybe because this time they are going to call him Champion

Maria appears on the titantron: She tells them to pay attention to The First Lady while she congratulates them on another victory. She really wants them to enjoy this moment while they still can because they have unfinished business with TJP & her husband, Mike Kanellis and they haven't forgotten about them. The only reason why their night is ending in a Lucha House Party & not just another piece in Maria's plan is because Gran Metalik couldn't be there tonight & Maria's an equal opportunist and when they decide to make an example out of Lucha House Party, it's going to be the first time, the only time. She tells them to enjoy their party & one more thing please wish Metalik could luck in his match against TJP next week, she's looking forward to it

Cedric says for over a year on 205 Live he ran undefeated, not by accident, but because he out-worked every single person in the locker room day-in & day-out. For guys like Lio Rush this is a game, this is a way for him to get famous real quick. For Cedric this is his life, his livelihood, his legacy depends on this. So for guys like Rush when he wins accolades & championships it's a trophy, to Cedric it means the world & then some. This means he leaves a legacy for kids around the world like his daughter & kids that watch him day-in & day-out wishing they were in his position. Tonight his legacy doesn't end here, tonight The Age of Alexander continues.

Buddy Murphy comes out with a mic:

He's hurt. It's not just physical it's in his head too. He doesn't want to forget this pain, he's not trying to run from it, he wants to embrace it, he wants to feel every single ounce of it. That way when he's tempted to stay down he's going to remember exactly how he feels in this moment & that is what's going to make him rise back up.

He's going to use this pain & turn it into power because now he promises that he will become Cruiserweight Champion
