Smackdown Going Live?

So what, 20 people in the crowd are confused for a minute, does that really warrent complaining about such an insignificant aspect? It's a television show, they need to have it make sense from a televised perspective.

And what about when they air from the UK and claim it's "Live" and all that bullshit? You want them to stop the overseas tapings? Or tape them at, what, 1 in the morning?

Your logic makes anything taped seem bad for the live crowd when in reality it has no bearing on this whatsoever since, again, it's produced for television.

I'm not saying going live is BAD, but there is nothing that makes doing a live show worthwhile for WWE. In fact, it's much less expensive to tape it and much better to have that post-production time for WWE than a live taping is, so it benefits them.
