Vince should lose his chairman of the board spot for continuously pushing a 500 LB 45 year old big show

Glad WWE put Neville in before the Champ game. Missed everything after that. Neville would've stole the show on any other RAW this year. I imagine nothing was better afterwards last night?

Stardust vs Cena was pretty good imo, but I'd rather watch any wrestling match over a college basketball game that doesn't include Gonzaga or Tennessee.

'WWE SmackDown' Moves to USA Network in 2016

'WWE SmackDown' Moves to USA Network in 2016

via press release:

WWE Smackdown MOVES TO USA NETWORK IN 1Q2016, JOINING MONDAY NIGHT RAW AND REALITY SERIES WWE TOUGH ENOUGH


NEW YORK, NY and STAMFORD, CONN – April 7, 2015 - USA is expanding its commitment to the live action entertainment company WWE, bringing Smackdown to the network in the first quarter of 2016. Now the exclusive cable home to WWE marquee properties, USA airs the powerhouse Monday Night Raw live 52 weeks a year and the reality competition series WWE Tough Enough, which returns this summer in a reimagined format with live elements.

"WWE consistently delivers one of the largest and most socially engaged live audiences in entertainment and we’re excited to expand our long-standing relationship and be the true cable home for the WWE fan,” said USA Network President Chris McCumber.

“WWE is proud to have Smackdown join Raw as part of our expanded partnership with USA Network,” said WWE Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Vince McMahon. “The combination of the #1 cable network and two ratings juggernauts provides a destination for our viewers and an extraordinary platform for our partners.”

Earlier this year, USA announced the renewal of WWE Tough Enough, premiering Tuesday, June 23 at 8/7c. The reimagined series will feature an all-new format with live elements and more fan participation than ever before. In addition, WWE recently unveiled a new brand campaign “For The Hero In All of Us,” that engages consumers through #MyHeroIs, inviting fans to name their favorite WWE Superstars and share personal and inspirational stories of heroism.

Monday Night Raw on USA is the most-watched, regularly scheduled, year-round program on cable, airing a live three-hour block every Monday night, 52 weeks a year. Raw has been a cable mainstay for more than 20 years and is consistently a top ten show on television. Year-to-date Raw averages 1.95MM P18-49, 2.02MM P25-54 and 4.43MM total viewers P2+ and SmackDown averages 1.1MM P18-49, 1.22MM P25-54, and 2.86MM total viewers P2+. In 2014, Raw and Smackdown reached 55.9MM total viewers P2+.

With more than 800 original episodes, Smackdown is the second longest-running weekly episodic program in U.S. television history, only behind Monday Night Raw. Over the past 15 years, SmackDown has been broadcast from 170 different venues, in 148 cities, in seven different countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Japan, Italy and Mexico.

I'm a Duke fan, but it would take something extra special to upstage playoff college basketball in general for me. Same way with baseball.

Pretty amazing that USA is giving WWE a third of it's weekly prime time hours.

Since they're putting it on USA, I would assume they're gonna push WWE to make Smackdown even better. I wish they would push them to make it live tho.

Exactly. I don't read NXT spoilers, cause I know it's usually gonna be a good show. But I do read Smackdown spoilers, cause I figure I can skip it. Same reason I didn't read Raw spoilers back when it was taped during the Attitude era.

I don't read Smackdown spoilers or watch it. Everything important that happens, happens on Raw. I hope that changes though.
