Why would SmackDown! or TNA going live make it better?
Seriously? I just don't understand the logic here. It seems this comes up and it's apparently a way to make the product better somehow. Why?
The ONLY argument here is the possibility of spoilers and ratings drop, which would only affect you if you don't have the self control to not read them. As for ratings, I'm a firm believer that spoilers do not affect ratings as much as people think. A tenth of a point, MAYBE. But most people don't go out of their way to read spoilers, as they don't go out of their way to read TV show spoilers. Please explain what makes live so much better than a taped show, which is cheaper to produce with the same writing and talent. ![]() Last edited by Xero; 04-08-2010 at 06:32 PM. |

I think Smackdown is just fine the way it is.

It is unpredictable because if something "huge" happens at a live taping, chances are you will hear about it somehow even if you try to avoid spoilers.
Live shows definitely have a different feel. |

Because its happening that very second, it just feels different. Thats it, bischoff says the same thing in The MNW DVD. I hate watching Raw on tape so I watch it live every week and cant be arsed with smackdown most the time

Just don't see that as a legitimate argument for this and the overall production. It's the same product either way.
Especially considering we're a VERY small minority in WWE's audience. The people who read dirt sheets probably amount to maybe .3 or .4 of the rating, if that. Less people read them regularly. And that .4 accounts for tens of thousands of people as it is. |

It would make the show slightly better because of the unpredictable thing but the storylines and matches ultimately decide the quality of a show.
Smackdown won't go live because of the travel issue. Maybe when the brand split was actually enforced and people rarely showed up on the other show (2003-2006) this was possible. I think it would be too much of a hassle unless SD is live on Tuesday. |

Yeah cos your so busy criticising every aspect of wrestling that you stopped being a fan years ago, you are a critic now. It is a fucking legitimate argument, nothing to do with fucking dirt sheets, i never mentioned them. IM SPEAKING AS A FAN, can you grasp that?

when it comes to tna going live on certain events is fine but impact should be taped and they should fix the fuck ups and edit out stupidity, but then they might have nothing left afterwards.
Live pros: unpredictable, low amount of spoilers, maybe a tittie will flash live cons: more fuckups, no re-takes, technical difficulties can bring the show to a halt, botches cant be edited out. |

I see no difference between taped and live. I'm saying that as a fan.
And as a fan, you shouldn't see it as different either, because the way the produce it is exactly the same as if it's live. So if you were looking at this as a fan, there should be no real difference. |

Well its like the Swagger title win...i try to avoid spoilers just to make watching Smackdown that much better, but even when you try to avoid them, the news is so big that some idiots cant contain themselves and make it apparent to everyone on the main page and in six different forums what had happened.
But being taped helps with backstage skits and promo's. Either way Smackdown is the better show to watch whether live or taped. The show has to stand on its own merrit no matter what. |

Yeah, I used to get beat up and have my lunch money stolen every day. Now I'm making up for it by moderating a wrestling message board.

I think a live Smackdown! show would have to be on a different network. On MyNetworkTV, it's gonna get what it's getting regardless.

I'll quit 'following you around' when you stop making shitty posts and stop being a douche bag to anyone you disagree with.

How is it cheaper? You have to pay people in the editing room don't you?
I have to agree with Bischoff's point of view on this, and maybe this doesn't apply to Xero. Most viewers are lured to the idea of a 'live' show. They get to experience the action at the same time (minus the five or seven second delay) as the people in the crowd. It's like you are being a part of it. I think that's what HBPunk is trying to say here. |
