A Short And Sweet History. WWE Ranks The Ten Best Matches In 205 Live History.

History has been kind to the show. This week, 205 Live reached its 100th episode. The show might not have the longest history in the world but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of matches worth seeing. Some of the show’s stars are very entertaining and can work at a level more than comparable to the main roster stars. But what are the best the show has to offer?

WWE has released a list of the Top Ten matches in 205 Live history. The list features matches from throughout the show’s history, with the first airing just over two months into the show’s history and the most recent taking place in July of this year. There are several names who appear multiple times on the list, with Mustafa Ali making the most appearances with five.

Here’s the list.

Opinion: I know 205 Live doesn’t get the most love in the world but there has been some high quality work put in on the show. They know how to put together entertaining matches and some of their stars could thrive on the main roster. It’s quite a shame that the show isn’t treated more importantly than it currently is, but the show has gotten a lot better in recent months. Hopefully that continues to be the case.
