Smackdown on FOX. Couple of things. I am quite pleased that the show is moving to Fridays, I never really understood why it was on Tuesdays to begin with. I do wonder whether Smckdown will stay live though. I suspect FOX will want a polished show with definite start and end times for each match to capitalise on advert breaks. This might require a bit of editing that a live show can't guarantee.
I also have a bit of concern regarding FOX's history.

I expect a few more USA! USA! matches, maybe more foreign wrestlers portrayed as baddies and I am not sure the women will be treated with the respect they have fought hard to gain.
I may well be wrong, but a nagging bit at the back of my mind says I am not.

To be fair, Smackdown is bang on 2 hours 99% of the time. Raw is the one that tends to run past its 3 hour slot, usually by sbout 20 minutes. I think Smackdown would be fine staying as a live show.

It can't hurt.
