No SmackDown This Friday?

[MizMasta3000]

- The problems between FOX and Time Warner, because of FOX wanting TW to pay $1 per month per customer to receive FOX's stations including MyNetworkTV, Time Warner is threatening to pull all the stations off the air this coming Friday.

This would mean that WWE's Friday Night SmackDown this week won't air for Time Warner subscribers. FOX has taken out ads in several major markets saying that Time Warner is trying to deprive it's customers of their favorite shows. SmackDown is mentioned in some of the ads and it features some spots with wrestlers talking about the loss of SmackDown

Me too.

Well it dosen't affect me but I just have to hope they sort it out

Doesn't affect me, I guess it sucks for the time warner people although it probably isn't that big a deal, if you're desperate, you could just download the show every week. With all due respect to Smackdown!, it isn't exactly a can't miss show anyway

Long Island... Verizon Fios bitch. Time Warner blows.

Besides, reading spoilers is more exciting than watching the show anyway.

Agreed. I've been disappointed hearing allot of people saying how great the show is and saying its the real "A" show. So I'd watch time to time to see what the hype is, way over-hyped and over-rated. Besides, reading is fundamental.

It's gotten worse because they've tried to make it a RAW without a guest host.

Smackdown immediately after the draft last year was top notch. Since the return of the Undertaker/Batista, losses of Jeff Hardy and Edge and Jericho beign tied up 90% of the time on RAW in tag action the show has essentially become RAW with a better possibility to see a good match.
