Paid Members seph Posted June 15, 2005 Paid Members Posted June 15, 2005 What are the real reasons why Smackdown isnt broadcast live? (rather than taped) because even though the WWE has the capacity to make both shows live (and they were for a long time), it's far cheaper to tape one of them, plus there's less pressure for the SmackDown workers to get everything right at the right moment as fuck-ups can be (and often are) re-shot, both in skits and matches.That really is the real reason.

It also means the production crew gets all it's TV done in two days, instead of doing Raw, then having to wait three days to do SmackDown. Essentially, it means WWE can save money by ferrying people around for less.
Paid Members JNLister Posted June 15, 2005 Paid Members Posted June 15, 2005 Also, Smackdown is on a network (UPN is similar to ITV, being made up of regional stations), so it has to go off the air at a precise fixed time, whereas Raw is on a single cable channel which allows it about six to eight minutes leeway. Running a live show under such restrictions would be much more difficult.
JPC Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Does anyone have the TV ratings for ECW on TNN???Also how many weeks did it run for?

JPC Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Cheers Also what entrance music did RVD use at One Night Stand?
freaky Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Cheers Also what entrance music did RVD use at One Night Stand? As much as I wanted it to be Walk by Pantera, it was his WWE theme, One of a Kind.
Lo Down Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 What PPV was Nailz vs Big Boss Man in the Nightstick match?
King Cobra Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 What PPV was Nailz vs Big Boss Man in the Nightstick match? "Survivor Series '92" - it was a very good undercard match for the time.
The Mighty LC Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Also, whilst I'm here, why was RAW shown on a Saturday night in the US? I remember seeing the said episode broadcast on the Friday on Sky Sports here in the UK. Westminster Dog Show...?
Guest amg Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Do you guys trust BARB ratings here in the UK? (especially for wwe on skysports)They said 70,000 for RAW on Wednesday 6th June yet only like a few weeks ago it was a massive 160,000 odd.And with a 5000 selection rating panel it doesnt sound that right as it seems too small a number to represent the UK.My next Question is,How are ratings done in the US?

Segaboyno Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 To add to the question (or answer) about the title defences on others' behalf, I suppose the British Bulldog defending the tag team titles for Owen Hart at IYH 3 would count also.

freaky Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 I'm not big on music so who sang The Sandmans theme at the ECW PPV? Cheers brahs. Metallica. It's called Enter Sandman.
CurryAngel Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 As said in a different post, Motorhead also do a not so good versoin of Enter Sandman which was actually used on the ECW cd
