No, seriously.

These monthly live Smackdown events are not 100% confirmed, but the company has apparently signed off on the idea. There will be a live edition of Smackdown on April 3rd in Houston Texas, as part of the WrestleMania weekend.

The general idea behind broadcasting live is to increase the "aura" of Smackdown with the move to MYNETWORK TV. This is also the reason for the draft moves of both HHH and Jim Ross.
If they want people to tune into Smackdown, they have to air it live. They've got the starpower now thanks to the draft, now they just need the live broadcast.

If all goes well and they decide to air it live weekly, I'd mark.

They should've just drafted Cena there if they wanted to go all out.

The fact that it's still on Friday nights does hurt a bit, but it being live would definitely help out. I'd actually like that instead of taped shows alot.

Friday does hurt the ratings, but live at least helps you keep an unpredictible style in your booking, which does make viewers tune in.

Overall a good decision I'm hoping to see it.

If it was live every week I'd certainly be more likely to watch it.

The live part sounds great, but Friday night does not.

I wouldn't mind if it changed to Thursday or stayed on Friday.

Jim Ross updated his blog and discussed Smackdown going live the weekend of WWE PPV events.

"Read a rumor where Friday Night Smackdown may go 'live' several times a year which is also new news to me. I feel it is 'highly unlikely' that this will happen but time will tell I suppose. My money is on that it won’t happen with the exception being the Friday night prior to WM25 in Houston.

"Even if it does, I have no issue with it as long as I don’ t have to miss any OU Football games then the Friday night business could become an issue. For the record, I talked to people even closer to those close to the decision makers and they don’t think this will happen either except on a rare occasion. It is too expensive and would take completely retooling the schedule. Plus those who know the match results from the Tuesday tapings is such a small number that who cares?
Meh.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care that it's taped. :S
