WTF this is pure shit. Now we are going to be seeing repetitive promos and slower matches. How will Taker wrestle twice in one night with shot knees. This is why TNA fails becausethe shows have basically the same templates and the same feel. Now we get twice the freakin spoilers as well, thumbs down to this crap.

I agree this sucks big time. Well at least its not a permanent thing though. I will just try and dodge the spoilers so i dont find out what happens before i watch it.

Goddamn, I hate bi weekly. I hate tapings to begin with, but I hate bi weekly worse. I think some of the wrestlers like HHH, Edge and even guys like JR will be pissed, because they have to go two weeks in between actual shows.
This sucks.

^^^ Agreed with all of you

But, at the same time. They have to do two shows a week, but then they get two weeks off.

^ That's what I was thinking at first, but then I realized, this is WWE. This just means two weeks of house shows between tapings rather than one.

W..T..F

Why would they be mad for getting 2 weeks of rest in between shows? Especally guys like JR who dont have to do house shows...The whole reason for this is probably to give the talent more of a break to rest.

I agree so much with what you had said but I think you may have made a mistake with TNA and WWE?

Lol, exactly what I was thinking, If anything, this is FOR the wrestlers. But it's still bullshit, I personally think the main problem with all of wrestling is they can't do all shows live.

it's better for the guys, but not really good for the business I guess. We have to remember that Vince was forced by WCW to make Raw a live event, apparently he doesn't like that, smackdown could really have another atmosphere if it would be live

G1 and MHV1 you are forgetting, this is on top of all their house shows.
