WWE 205 Live 5/21/2021

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/wwe-205-live-5142021.html

Ari Sterling vs Asher Hale

Ari tries to counter a snapmare but blows it. Ari is put in a wristlock and uses the ropes to flip out of it. ?hale drops down and Ari headsprings over him then he cartwheels over him. Ari goes outside to inside with a headscissors from behind. He spinning heel kicks him and Hale moves on his inside to outside moonsault. Hale then hits a running knee from the apron on him. Ari gets thrown into the rails.

Ari takes a hard neckbreaker over the knee then is put in a straightjacket choke. Ari gets out and takes a dropkick to the knee. Hale works the knee and figure four's his legs before dragon screwing them. Ari comes back with elbows then flips into a legdrop on a bent over Hale. Ari tries to hurricanrana him in the corner but his leg gets out and Hale hits a nice indian deathlock with a bridge. Hale PK's him hard then double stomps the knee, but Ari comes back with a pin attempt.

Ari hits something like a pele kick. Then he puts him in a sideslam and flips forward for the win. Not great but they tried to work and sell the leg here and they did an okay job of it.

Ikemen Jiro and August Grey vs The Bollywood Boyz

Grey shaved some of his beard and looks totally different. Jiro's got a watermelon jacket on today.

Samir and Grey go to the mat early with Samir hitting a bunch of armdrags. Grey has to deal with a BB drop down and leapfrog and ends up taking a back elbow. Grey then leapfrogs Sunil and Jiro forearms him. Jiro then asai moonsaults Sunil for 2.

Grey gets his arm worked on and Sunil drops it over the apron. Grey takes another 2v1 that ends in a bulldog from the 2nd rope for 2. The Boyz mess up a double team and Grey gets the hot tag. Jiro comes in and beats up up on Sunil with blazer punches. Jiro does a slingshot sitout moonsault for 2. Jiro rolls out of a missed swanton but takes a spinning heel kick from Sunil. Sunil holds up Jiro and Samir hits a back elbow from the top for 2.

Samir and Jiro go at it. Jiro does a springboard reverse headscissors then a flying knee for the win. This wasn't too bad at all with Jiro really shining here. They are trying to neuter Jiro here by getting rid of his entrance but he's still able to shine and is way above this. The BB's got too much offense in and I have to imagine some of the regular 205 Live guys are mad as the new guys are getting matches that they would have normally been in. 

Overall thoughts: It's hard to recommend 205 Live because it's usually just two matches but I did like this. It wasn't great or must see but not bad for 30 minutes.
