What happened to SD taping 2 shows?

[Marvelously Mediocre]

well all the NEWZ sites reported SD were taping two shows in one taping from now on. On Tuesday they only taped one episode. So was this just another case of the newz reporting speculation as fact?

They're doing two on December 30th, January 13th, January 27th and at least three days leading up to Mania.

They can't do it if the 2nd one overlaps an upcoming pay per view.

They had 3 weeks between Sur. Series and Armageddon so they taped two, then one.

They have 5 weeks between Armageddon and Royal Rumble so they're doing 1, 2, 2.

I'm going January 13th and was very happy to hear I'm getting 2 for the price of one.

I'm all for them doing it when they can, since if it's true it saves 700 grand in production alone, not to mention travel or other expense, then it's well worth it.

Nope. They only had one this week because of the holiday season. They will likely film a SmackDown Best of 2008 special sometime this week or early next to be aired on the 26th (well, at least it seems most likely they'll do this).

Next week's Smackdown is going to be taped along with RAW next Monday. ECW is going to be replaced with a "Best of 2008" show.

I just opened my Christmas present from my wife and kids, and it was a couple of tickets to the 1/27 Smackdown taping. You sure that I am getting a twofer?

JR said in his blog it was a twofer.

Cool. My wife doesn't really know much about WWE, so she was a little sketchy on what to get for me. She'll be pleased to know that she did damned good for purely guessing.

[Perpetual Nirvana]

Forget that, what are you opening Christmas presents a week early for? You're ruining tradition!

[Steveweiser]

Yep, two shows being taped on January 27th in Indy. Be sure to buy some coffee at the arena.
