You know, that reminds me, I don't understand why it's so hard to make SD! equal to RAW in terms of ratings. Most likely due to it being on Friday Nights. But I think the other factor is because it's taped. The majority of the fans just go and read the spoilers, and if they read something good about a segment they'll go check it out just for that segment and not the entire show. Then they switch to a different channel.
To prevent this, SD! should go live and give the viewers that same atmosphere/energy we get from watching RAW live. There is something different when you watch a live show and a taped show.
In terms of the quality of the shows, SD! has more wrestling than drama/backstage segments. RAW is more focused on the backstage elements of the show and furthering the storyline whereas SD! furthers the storyline with "wrestling". This is just what I think of it.
If SD! was tailored to the same audience that RAW brings in, would there be an improvement in ratings? I don't know.
But anyways, I think SD! should go live. It would certainly make me want to watch it just due to the fact that it's live. Taped shows are heavily edited and I don't like that so much.
