Former WWE star: Shawn Daivari was recently a guest on the ‘Wrestling INC podcast‘. During the podcast, Daivari was asked about his feelings on 205 Live. For those that don’t know, Daivari was on the WWE roster from 2004 until 2007.
His brother: Ariya Daivari is also one of the current stars of 205 Live.
Here is what Shawn had to say when asked about his feelings on the show:
“They’re not making it very diverse. The whole program, like Ken said, it should be, you know, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, it’s really not. It’s three hours of the same thing. If it was three hours, if it was like Saturday Night Live, I’d watch Saturday Night Live. It’s two hours. But it’s not all slapstick, it’s not all political comedy, it’s different sh-t. RAW is all the same and now 205 Live, the Cruiserweight Tournament they did that summer was different but now it’s just another brand, it’s exactly the same, so I don’t know what makes it special.”
He also shared what he tells his brother about 205 Live and why fans resent it:
“I tell Ariya all the time, it’s exactly what they did with ECW…If they just said, ‘hey here’s our new brand’ it would have been fine but they said ‘hey, here’s that cruiserweight sh-t that you guys loved this summer’ and then they don’t give them any of that; people have more resentment towards it. You told us it’s a cruiserweight show, it’s not.”
