GFW X-Division Champion Trevor Lee Calls WWE's 205 LIVE Cruiserweight Division "Garbage"

The WWE's 205 Live cruiserweight division has regularly come under fire for its mishandling of some terrific talent, and the last wrestler to throw shade at the show is current GFW X-Division champ, Trevor Lee.

There's no denying that WWE's 205 Live show has not lived up to the high standard set by the Cruiserweight Classic tournament, and many feel it's only a matter of time before the division is disbanded altogether - but can it still be salvaged?

During a recent GFW conference call, several of the company's X-Division stars commented on 205 Live, and current champ Trevor Lee, in particular, was not shy about letting people know exactly what he thought of the division:


"You wanna know what 205 Live is? It’s garbage! I’m 225-pounds and I’m the X-Division Champion. None of those guys could even hold a dime to what I can do. Get out of here, next question."

Fellow X-Division wrestler and former WWE Superstar Loki was a little more diplomatic and balanced with his criticism:

"With all respect to the current X-division and the members of 205 Live, the X-division has carried heavy influence in what you see currently on television in all major companies,” said Low-Ki. “And there’s a reason for it. It wasn’t based off of size, it was based off of style. And in order to get noticed, styles is what makes matches. Many of the performers you see in 205 Live — I shouldn’t say many because there’s more there now than there were at the beginning – but there’s a handful of them who were former X-Division wrestlers. So the identity 205 is trying to create for them, has a heavy influence of X-Division written all over it so there’s no comparison. The X-Division is a unique identity.”

While I wouldn't go so far as to call 2015 Live garbage (they still showcase some great matches from time to time... even if the crowd all-but ignores them), it his hard to argue with a lot of these points. Fans were drawn to the Cruiserweight Classic because it offered something different, and the current division is simply more of the same - only lighter.

What do you guys think? Sound off in the usual place.
