What's the story?
After a series of vignettes hyping his arrival, the WWE have finally revealed when talented NXT Superstar and one of Japan's best ever wrestlers, Hideo Itami, will be joining 205 LIVE! and it surely isn't great news for Enzo Amore and the 'Zo-Train'
In case you didn't know...
Hideo Itami is one of NXT's longest-serving Superstars, with big things being expected from him following his announcement. However, he has sort of stagnated in the yellow brand due to a couple of unlucky injuries leading to many wondering if he'd ever get called up to the main roster.
The heart of the matter
Alas, Itami has earned a call-up and will be joining 205 LIVE to shake things up a bit just like Kalisto and Enzo Amore have done so recently, and it has to be expected that a wrestler of Itami's calibre will have a ton of success there.
Itami has released a series of tweets asking the 205 LIVE! Universe to show him 'RESPECT' and several members of the Cruiserweight roster are already dreading the arrival of the Japanese wrestler.
What's next?
As well as hitting up 205 LIVE! every Tuesday night, Hideo Itami is also set to join the Cruiserweights on a set of special live shows in January, however, he's fairly consistent in his message as he wants people to show him 'RESPECT' there too.
As for the show itself, I fully expect Itami to be considered one of the top talents on 205 LIVE and hope to see him giving the Zo-Train a taste of their own medicine.
Author's take
Hideo Itami is sure to be an excellent addition to the Cruiserweight roster and I hope that the WWE truly do show him the 'RESPECT' he deserves and push the guy to the top as he really does deserve a decent push and a title run following his disappointing stint in NXT.
