WWE‘s 205 Live is a show dedicate to cruiserweights, wrestlers who weigh in at under 205 lbs. That means when you tune in, you can expect to see flashy entrances, colorful characters and some of the most daring, death-defying moves anywhere in the world. However, there’s one man trying to change all that; Drew Gulak, a WWE superstar who has pledged to work tirelessly for a better 205 Live by getting rid of the chants, the costumes and especially the dangerous top-rope maneuvers in favor of traditional technical mat wrestling.
Last night during the broadcast of WWE Raw, Gulak unveiled a comic written and drawn by Elaine Le Febvre and Kitty Bell (and paid for by the friends of supports of the Drew Gulak Campaign For A Better 205 Live) in which a young, talented potential wrestler is drawn in by the siren song of a flash costume and high-flying moves. Thankfully, a run-in with a fan reminds him that all he needs to be a great wrestler is to go out and be a great wrestler; after all, that’s what Drew Gulak would do.

Gulak has used a number of methods to get his message of a better 205 Live and his “No Fly Zone” across to fans, including buttons, placards and his trademark powerpoint presentations. This comic represents a new evolution in the Drew Gulak Campaign For A Better 205 Live, reaching directly out to viewers via social media.
The comic, influenced by Jack Chick’s notorious “Chick Tracts” which warned readers of the dangers of rock and roll, dancing and Dungeons & Dragons, gives readers everything they need to help spread the message of a better 205 Live.
205 Live airs every Tuesday on WWE Network at 10pm EST.
