There's 2 bad things about this move atleast to me.
1. Taker + Syfy = Title....AGAIN! 2. Taker not going ot RAW in the draft. Taker on RAW would be fresh and help the show in my opinion.

I'm sure this will make the sci-fi lovers very happy. To be fair, I think the first blow to the "Sci-Fi Channel" was when Mst3k was cancelled. The final death of anything Science Fiction about the channel came when the NBC Universal merger went through. That's when the "Sci-Fi Original" took over 98% of the programming. I'd say their paranormal shows are very much in the sci-fi vein.

With his bad knees? Yeah right, Taker can't work a full schedule anymore. And why is it bad for him to win the Title? Let me guess your still mad he retired that guy on your sig.

STAMFORD, Conn. – World Wrestling Entertainment and Syfy announced today a multi-year agreement that brings Friday Night SmackDown to the “Imagine Greater” network beginning in October 2010. Friday Night SmackDown will premiere on its new home Oct. 1 at 8:00 PM ET. The program, which debuted more than 10 years ago, is one of the longest-running, weekly episodic shows on television.
Syfy’s original Friday night drama series will move to Tuesday night, where hit series such as Warehouse 13 and Eureka have yielded unprecedented ratings success. WWE NXT will leave Syfy in October as Friday Night SmackDown joins the schedule.
“WWE is the ultimate in imagination-based sports entertainment. The fantastical thrills of Friday Night SmackDown provide an ideal addition to the Syfy slate, as it targets the younger male and female demographics, which are the fastest growing categories for WWE,” said Dave Howe, President, Syfy. “With Tuesday night, a proven winner for our original drama series including Warehouse 13, there is bigger opportunity for series such as Stargate Universe, Sanctuary and Caprica to thrive on a night with a significantly larger number of viewers available to watch live.”
“Syfy is a terrific partner and we look forward to bringing our proven ratings winner and ten year television institution, Friday Night SmackDown, to the network,” said WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. “With this move, WWE is thrilled to be expanding its long-standing relationship with the NBC Universal family.”
Friday Night SmackDown averages more than 3.4 million viewers a week and is currently the most watched TV program on Friday nights among males under 55 and beats all Friday primetime programming on ABC, NBC, FOX and CW among Men 18-34. The two-hour television program will be presented weekly on Syfy and features a star-studded cast of WWE Superstars and Divas including Undertaker, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Layla.

Actually, you kinda answered your question yourself with that first statement.

Well Taker's title run last year/eariler this year was pretty good it's just stale in my opinion and like Shawn he doesn't need the title. As for working a full schedule, he can do the same thing he's doing on SD! work the show, do some house shows and take time off after Mania. There's no difference between being on RAW & SD! except RAW is live.

There's no difference between being on RAW & SD! except RAW is live. Because if there's one tradition in wrestling that the WWE still adheres to, it's this: The World Champion must be willing and able to work all shows on the "A" touring schedule. If someone can no longer do that, then get the belt off them.

I didn't say if he moved to RAW he get the title. I said I hoped he'd move to RAW because it'd be fresh. Now that probably won't happen.
