Seems FOX is not a fan of Vince's style of comedy for wrestling and want Smackdown to be a lot more sports/wrestling focused when they get the show late next year.

Makes sense since FOX will have to rely a lot more now than before on their sports fans to get the numbers needed to improve in cable rankings. Especially during football season and sports playoffs.

Vince is more into the comedy presentation with wrestling but they are looking at having their sports people on the different shows heavily promote it and they want to give them something athletically-oriented to promote
