Would SmackDown benefit from going live?

[Crayo]

We've seen TNA going live for the summer, would SmackDown gain from a similar experiment?

 

[Robbie Coletrain]

Yep, it should also be its own brand again instead of all SD people appearing on Raw.
But yeah if it went live just little things like it being the real crowd instead of WWE putting pretend boos on ADR and louder cheers on Sheamus, it helps know who actually is over and who people couldnt care less about

 

[Farooq]

Yes! I hate seing spoilers :upset:

 

[Leo C]

It would. Ratings would probably go up, we wouldn't have to hear those stupid fake crowd reactions, and if accompanied by a strong brand split, it would be great.

 

[Matt]

Not sure. It would mean it would be on a tuesday instead of a friday

 

[Crayo]

Not necessarily. They could have it on Wednesday's or Thursdays which would compete with impact.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

Yes it would but not too much.

 

[Crayo]

I love how specific you are Hoss

 

[Donald Trump_]

Not necessarily. They could have it on Wednesday's or Thursdays which would compete with impact.

Then SD would get lower ratings because of TNA.

Leo C pretty much summed it up for me.

I don't wanna see Smackdown go live. Mainly for the fact that people in Australia would be waiting until Sunday or even Monday just to see Smackdown! Or if they did Smackdown on Tuesdays then I think they might lose some fans because I'm not sure how many people would watch 4 - 5 hours worth of wrestling in a few days. I know I would but I don't know about everyone else.
