205:Alive - 205 Live recap for August 8, 2017

"The Premiere Athlete" Tony Nese beats Cedric Alexander after grabbing the tights during a series of roll-up attempts. After the match, Nese says everyone noticed the difference between a great athlete and a premiere athlete. Nese gives Cedric credit for taking care of his body better "than all of these schlubs," but as long as he is around, Cedric will always be second-best.

Dasha Fuentes interviews The Brian Kendrick. Last week proved his point that "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher does not have what it takes and that he always finds a way to get out of something, and that all that matters is that he won, vicious streak or not. Kendrick says he is moving on from Gallagher, but that is met with Gallagher attacking him form behind in a fit of rage.

Before the next match, Noam Dar says he recognizes his opponent as Mark Thomas, a former WWE jobber from the 1990s whom he has watched wrestle since he was a boy. He sarcastically wishes him the best at becoming a WWE Superstar, which he says he himself has already done at the age of 24. Noam Dar goes on to mock his age, saying that Thomas' boots are probably older than him and that he has done more at the age of 24 than Thomas has done in his entire career.

Noam Dar beats Mark Thomas (who is played by independent wrestler James Steele aka James Liberty).

Corey Graves interviews Akira Tozawa in the ring. Before the interviews can even get started, however, Neville shows up. He wants to know what Corey Graves is doing to his show by interviewing Tozawa, and that he is the one who should be interviewed right now. He thinks Corey is trying to hype the match, but he says he is the hype as well as 205 Live, and that he is no competition. Tozawa immediately tosses the chair he is sitting in out of the ring, throws his jacket off and out of the ring, rolls up his cuff links and says he has a question for Neville. Neville says he is here to save the WWE Universe from his pathetic attempt at English, but lets him ask it anyway. Tozawa asks Neville how he will feel when he beats him for the Cruiserweight Championship at SummerSlam. Neville laughs, then tries to attadck Neville only to be kicked in the face. Tozawa goes for a top rope senton, but Neville rolls out. As soon as Tozawa jumps off the top rope, Neville rushes back in, but Tozawa boots him off the apron.

TJP beats Rich Swann, then gloats after the match. He continues to do so as Rich Swann heads to the back, getting in his face and rubbing it in in the process. This continues backstage, when Perkins accuses Swann of being a sore loser. Swann calls TJP out on acting like he was his friend after the match. TJP says he though Swann could handle it, but Swann says he is starting to know who TJP really is.
