A question I'm submitting to PWInsider...but I want your thoughts on it, too.
With the news coming out that TNA will go head to head with WWE RAW every Monday night beginning in March, I got to thinking. I began to wonder if a "Friday Night War" would have been a better idea. I read that at first, Impact will be live one week, taped the next week, and so forth. WWE Smackdown is taped every week. I think at first TNA will have a rough time competing with WWE. I think they will do good numbers on March 8th, but will struggle against Monday Night RAW with the last 2 weeks of Wrestlemania buildup. But I think going live against a taped WWE show might do better for them. From what I read, Smackdown is a better show, but I lose interest in taped shows once I read the spoilers. And I know not everyone reads the internet, but I'm sure Bischoff, Hogan, and Carter would be more than willing to tell everybody that Smackdown is taped and the wonder of live TV could switch a few viewers over on Friday Nights. Thoughts?
