205:Alive - 205 Live recap for September 19, 2017

Cedric Alexander beats The Brian Kendrick after a roll-up ends with Cedric right on top of Kendrick. After the match, Kendrick catches up with Cedric. As both man argue, Cedric is blindsided by "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher, and he and Kendrick lay waste to Cedric, with Gallagher's trademark headbutt serving the final blow.

Backstage, Dasha Fuentes interviews The Brian Kendrick and "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher. Gallagher says he does not have to justify his actions, and that he left the show with a hole in his head and had it closed up with four stitches just before his wedding, it taught him a lesson. He says that he cannot stand going through life as a star, but but that he cannot stand going through life as a joke.

Drew Gulak shows up with a "No Chants" sign in his hand. Drew Gulak says he will guest on commentary for the next match, but first says he will use the commentary table as his platform. He complains about how he was treated in "fashion jail," and says Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) will soon hear from his attorneys - himself - after what happened last week. He says that his idea is being held down like Galileo's idea of the Earth revolving around the Sun, and says Galileo would be upset that 205 Live revolves around Akira Tozawa's incessant chanting. He does not see himself a hero, but if the hero outfit fits, he might as well wear it. After mentioning his vision of the future of 205 Live, we see slide #6 of the PowerPoint: no cellphones. Suddenly, Akira Tozawa shows up, starting the next match.

Akira Tozawa beats Noam Dar.

In the locker room, TJP tells Rich Swann he wants to congratulate him the right way, and apologizes for his past behavior, saying he could have handled everything better. TJP wants to do more matches with him, saying they have to have more matches, but Swann says it's gotten intense between them. TJP doesn't want to do another series, and says he could have handled everything better. Swann says he knows they have something going...but he wants to keep it as it is. He and TJP shake hands. After Swann leaves, it is noticeable that Swann is a tad disappointed.

Before the next match, it is revealed that Lince Dorado has been attacked backstage and cannot compete against Rich Swann tonight. Swann heads backstage, but gets superkicked by TJP on the stage before he can get there. He then presses his boot against his head and rips a dread out of his hair before kicking him in the gut. TJP then smiles with malicious glee as he looks at the dreadlock in his hand, then his smile turns into a frown before he goes to town on Swann again with a press slam into a guardrail.

Neville shows up. He announces that No Mercy is only five days away, and after running down the main events, he says the best match will be "a comedic performance" between himself and Enzo Amore. He says the match is the worst decision in Enzo's pathetic little life, and says he will expose Enzo for what he is: a stain on the moral fabric on society as well as someone who is unfit to step into his world. Enzo Amore then shows up. Neville proceeds to talk about how Enzo Amore got obliterated last night, and says he should be resting instead of dancing like a chicken and spouting ridiculous catchphrases. Enzo says Neville is jealous that he made 205 Live the show to watch. Neville says he is the most formidable cruiserweight on the planet, then asks how he can be jealous when he is better than Enzo in every way imaginable. Enzo says he's not as much of an athletic specimen as Neville is, but says that is why Neville is jealous, as he is twice the Superstar that Neville is. Enzo says he is the one with the product placement, his own Snickers bar and even his own merchandise, and says the same cannot be said for Neville. He says that he and the locker room have not gotten along, and that Neville can either love him or hate him, but he can never be the Superstar he is. He says that Neville is the big fish in a little pond, and that he is the shark that invaded his water. Neville tells Enzo "You just had to run your big mouth?" and makes it clear that he will make an example out of him. He tells Enzo to play the game, and he will show him how it's played. Neville says nothing Enzo has mentioned matters, and says it will not matter on Sunday because Enzo cannot fight. He says he is brutal, and asks what will happen when he brutalizes Enzo to the point that there is no hope. He says his tactics will not work at No Mercy, and that the best he can hope for is survival. Enzo agrees that it won't win him the title, but this isn't Sunday and this isn't No Mercy. He then kicks Neville in the groin to end the show.
