Smackdown going to USA Network

[AKM-95]

They've been saying it but no one that covers television has said it. All that talk was coming from Meltzer in the first place, which is why it was BS from the beginning. My personal opinion has always been that if SD left the network, then FOX wouldn't be interested in wrestling anymore.

I Feel it depends on how well the strike talks go in the next couple of days and months if goes into next couple of months I think networks will look for more evergreen entertainment and sport options to fill their schedule.

The way FX is they may beg to bring back the Attitude Era

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia crossover for WrestleMania 40?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Wasn't USA network the one who wanted raw to be 3 hours? What are the odds of raw going back to 2 hours if they switch networks?

NOBODY is giving Raw 3 hours other than USA. They needed that 8:00 PM slot filled because they have nothing else to lead into Raw with

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia crossover for WrestleMania 40?

There's no chart in the world that could accurately measure that level of fukkery, especially if it involves Vince McMahon and Frank Reynolds being together. Hell, they even already have a story they could use; with Mania 14 being in Philly when they were younger and them being disappointed at how soft they've gone since the Attitude Era.

I’ll be glad when it’s off Fox and I don’t have to see those Fox News commercials anymore.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Dem ratings gonna dip. Wonder if they maintain similar numbers to Raw.

I mean I guess if the money is still strong its a W but going from broadcast back to cable and the only network that hasnt abandon them cant be seen as the expansive move it hoped?
I guess Raw and NXT will stay on USA when those deals are up

So much for Amazon, Disney Plus, ESPN

Also interesting in the press release it confirms its staying on Fridays on USA

Those 4 specials will probably be like Saturday Night Main Event specials like when they re-signed with USA in 2005

Wall Street wasn't fukking with it. Down 17% today

Earlier reports said Roman wasn't gonna be there. I guess they didn't let it play out before reporting.

You can see why these dirtsheet insiders hate the WWE, because the WWE continues to make them look like clowns.

Crazy that it's like 2 Fox SDs left. Kofi vs Brock both feels ancient and yet very vivid in my mind.
