I don't think UPN would want to move SmackDown to a Monday Night slot for many reasons. For one, it is their highest rated show. Moving it to Monday Night not only puts it against RAW, but other huge compeditors like Monday Night Football, which I'm not thinking that UPN is willing to go up against yet. Secondly, UPN would never be ABLE to totally have SmackDown eclipse RAW in the time slot, since their time is only 8-10PM before local happens, and though Spike may make the adjustments for RAW, there's just too many other factors going into this for that to matter. And how about the shows that would have to be reschedualed because of it?

Of course, SmackDown could move to another network, but that brings in another array of difficulties too big for it to work.

It's a good idea, but too many roadblocks would stop it from becoming reality.

I agree with everything you said,but the roadblocks are just discouraging the idea, I don't think they are preventing it form happening.
