5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Surprising update on Vince McMahon's retirement, WWE making controversial change to SmackDown?

#2. Hope isn't true: 205 Live potentially being scrapped

It's not secret that 205 Live isn't exactly WWE's most popular show. For the last 3 years, it really hasn't been give a fair shake since it always airs right after SmackDown, when most of the crowd leaves and they're also more or less burned out.

However, that hasn't stopped the Cruiserweights of WWE from going all out week after week, putting on a string of incredible matches constantly. Men like Cedric Alexander, [Mustafa] Ali, Buddy Murphy and many others played a vital role in building the brand and making it what it is today, with a fresh set of faces and talent.

Even if you watch the show today, you're guaranteed to have an entertaining one hour, but that may not be enough for WWE's purple brand. The NXT to USA Network deal was being discussed on the Wrestling Observer Radio and they spoke about how NXT won't be a Network exclusive anymore. Unfortunately, the same may be the case for 205 Live.

The 205 Live brand might be in jeapordy and it has a lot to do with the next "Hope isn't true" point, but we'll get back to it right after the next one. However, we sincerely hope that this isn't the end for 205 Live.
