But anyways, everyone seems to be taking what I said way out of context, all I meant was Kane used to be great, he came around with a great storyline being the Undertakers burned brother. That had a good run, then they started slowly piece by piece taking parts of his ring attire off, revealing that he didn't even have fake burns to go along with the storyline, and a perfectly unburned face (wait it was burned for the one day when they took the mask off which had hair implants..) then he get's into the whole stupid Lita storyline, and get's taken out with no explanation and replaced with Edge. And now he's coming out to attack someone on a show he is not even part of, 3 days before May 19th when people are pretending it's May 19th. I was just stating how I'm not too impressed with Kane's direction as in the past few years he has not had one stable storyline with any payoff or logical ending. |

If you read the smackdown spoilers it says that JBL actually said live:
"Do you know what day friday is" so I'm guessing they dubbed over friday and made it say today for TV? If so, that would be a smart move (considering it's WWE) Quote:

But yes my main point was what must the crowd be thinking when Rey said 'may 19th'.Would've made more sense to do a one-off live show yesterday. |

Anyway, anyone going to Friday Night Smackdown is probably aware that it airs on Friday night. Casual fans probably aren't spending money on tickets, but are randomly tuning in, and won't be confused at all. |

Or something to that effect. Several times during his speech, they cut away from him, and I can't remember if they cut away during the "What day it is?" bit. Quote:
I know that people seem to have difficulty grapsing this, but there's a difference between not getting a point and not agreeing with it. Since the announce commentary is for the people at home, and the primary audience is the one that will see it on the airing night (As opposed to other markets, at which WWE is not aimed, or the live audience who won't heard them), it's kind of pointless to argue, as it makes sense. And since JBL saying something different live makes your point moot... |

How retarded do you have to be to not get that Friday Night Smackdown is taped on Tuesday? Using the excuse that "casual" fans doesn't make it better. If by casual, you mean 5 year olds, then maybe they won't get the idea. MAYBE. Everyone else can quickly get that watching a show called FRIDAY Night Smackdown that is being taped on Tuesday will reference events as being on Friday.
It would make no sense to refer to it Tuesday Night Smackdown because it would legitamitely confuse the crap out people who would try to watch it on television. And you don't refer to the show as taped-delayed because it makes your show sound dated and old. That's why television shows refer to episodes as "new" or "premiere" and not "taped last year" or "lame clip show edited last month". It's basic television promotion 101. |

Let's just put it this way: It's better to confuse 20,000 or less fans vs. millions of fans.
Although I have to admit that there wasn't much of a response when Rey said "May 19" (from the WWE.com video anyway). |

I think what Loopydate is trying to say is that the Predator looks like Mark Henry?

I personally think the resemblance is mostly in the nose.

But the night vision is so redundant. Almost all wrestlers have it, so it cancels it out.

The fact of the matter is that Abso-friggin-lutely NOTHING is completely "LIVE" anymore in the US. The FCC is still so militant about Boobgate from 2+ years ago that noone does anything without at least a 7-second delay anymore. For years, many shows that claim to be live are actually what is called "Live On Tape" meaning that there was no editing involved (outside of the bleeping of swear words) - everything happened in the exact timing as we are shown it.
Smackdown has never been a live show, as they usually go back during the week and have Michael Cole and Tazz redub some of their commentary. They've even gone so far as to have the crowd stick around and have guys re-wrestle a segment of a match because it didn't come off the way WWE wanted it. (At least that's what several people have commented on this website.) |

I think the whole may 19th is going to stretch out into tonight and maybe even next week. The payoff is still a whiles off I think

The idea of live entertainment is a joke, and even if it weren't, it should be relatively evident that Smackdown isn't live. So yeah. |

Also, FCC or no, on UPN they have to worry about things like running over. Broadcast is different than Cable, and particularly a different market. I mean, look at the top ten Nielsen-rated shows for Cable and then again for Broadcast. Raw almost always makes the top 5 in Cable. Broadcast, getting a 3-4 rating won't get you a top ten slot at all. Things like Idol, Survior, House, CSI, etc dominate the ratings at 3-4 TIMES that rating.

I find it really stupid that Kane and Mysterio are basically the only wrestlers that don't break kayfabe in public. This isn't 1985, wrestlers don't need to be seen in public with their tights on and no shirt, or with their mask on.
