Jog on. Also, for a country with such a small land-mass, we get more regular WWEÂ tours than anybody else. 2-3 tours per year, all within driving or coach/train distance, yet people are still using the 'staying up late for the telly' crutch.

I wouldn't mind but we DON'T have to stay up late for the PPV's. it's on demand on the wwe network immediately when its finished. just get up and put it on with your morning brew if you don't fancy staying up til 4/5am.

Healy52003 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Happy too get a double taping in Manchester but could be weaker line ups etc but then again could be special Going to be a long evening. 6-11 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healy52003 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 So for Manchester will they tape Raw or SD first ??? Makes more sense to do SD first as it would be airing later that night and the Raw episode would be the one for Nov 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'd imagine they'll do Smackdown first. I wonder if they'll do Main Event and 205 Live too ! I assume that week Main Event will just be highlights, and do we even know what's going to happen to 205 Live yet? Is it going to move to Fridays too? Probably just be highlights that week too though I'd guess.

Travelling over from Ireland for it and staying in the Motel One in Royal Exchange which is near the arena6.3 Love to see a legend or 2 appear like Triple H but think Shane will still be the Autority figure appearing by Nov The night might go like this 6-6.30- Possibe Main event matches 6.40-8.15 Approx- SD taping 8.30-11.00- Raw Taping we might miss out on a dark match sadly but were getting more than enough ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'd imagine Raw will be finished by 10.30pm at the latest but if you cut out all the ads the show will probably be close to 2 hours, Smackdown closer to 1 hour 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sir Colin from Cardiff Posted July 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2019 Last year they held the main event of Smackdown off in Manchester until they had put on 205 Live and Mixed Tag Challenge. Crafty bastards. They knew if they filmed either of the two at the end then most would walkout and leave. Made  it finish the same time as Raw the night before. It's a long night if they pull those tricks again. Last time I saw a double taping was Smackdown in 2008, finished after 11 if I recall. But that then had HHH vs Jeff Hardy & Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy, before any of the three really started braking down. So was well worth it. Seem to remember lots of the backstage got cut out. I may have a rethink about this, if it definitely is SD and Raw tapings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other live is scheduled for the same night Shall be a great night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healy52003 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 An all womens SD in Manchester ??? As per Dave Meltzer “The Saudi Arabia show is back to its original date on 11/1 in Riyadh at King Saud University Stadium. So they ended up canceling a number of European dates including the entire Italy tour, several U.K. shows, and rearranging television to where they were taping Raw and Smackdown now on the same night on a Friday meaning Raw was taped ahead because the Saudis wanted the show on a different date. And now it’s back to the old date.” As a result, WWE will hold a PPV in Saudi Arabia on Friday afternoon while airing SmackDown Live on FOX later that night. Meltzer speculated that WWE could do an all-women’s version of SmackDown that night to offset the shows. That is not confirmed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members The Ratt Posted July 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2019 No the Manchester show is on the 8th Nov, the potential all womens SD show would be the week earlier probably somewhere in the US. However I do wonder if they'll still go ahead with the double taping in Manchester if they no longer need to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healy52003 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Possibly and hoping all this bollocks was sorted before they announced the double taping It's all even more confusing now but sadly we wont see any of the legends grabbing the Saudi $$$ in Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
