At least we know if they started doing this, the first week of three hour Smackdown shows we would see huge hype, big matches, and Cena and Punk showing up. The very next week it would be business as usual, only an hour longer.

It would make some people really happy, because it would probably mean more NXT call-ups and roster members that aren't on TV getting some TV time.

Supposedly SyFy loves Smackdown being a lead-in to it's 10pm shows. So I doubt this will happen. Unless they move its start-time up to 7pm Eastern.
But according to Meltzer, it's true that WWE thinks they're going to get much better deals from cable channels once their current contracts for RAW and Smackdown are up.

The extra hour will be purely for Raw recaps Here's the breakdown... First hour - skit for main event, mid card matches Second hour - Raw Recaps, Alberto Del Rio Dance Party, Health Slater grooming tips Third hour - Randy Orton & Friends (featuring a talking squirrel named nyuk nyuk), Main Event.

I would say this is a horrible idea, but I haven't actually watched SD in who knows how long so.....whatever

The idea sucks. Unless they start bringing in alot of NXT guys right away that are ready(Kruger,Neville,O'Brien) then 3 hours would be so boring.

Nothing of note happens on Smackdown anymore. If you have a 3 hour Smackdown, nothing of note will happen.

Why not just make it live on Tuesdays?
Or get rid of Main Event and put it on Wednesday?

I'd be happy with SD ending and Main Event being a bigger deal like it was when it debuted. Maybe we'd finally get that bloody Wade Barrett Intercontinental Cup....with or without him being champion.

One of the articles I read about it said that it'd give underused guys like Heath, Alex Riley and Zack more time and I laughed. Because that's totally what happened when Raw moved to three hours.

A 3 hour RAW is bad enough and having Smackdown go for that long as well is only going to make matters worse.

But they have to use that sixth hour of time for Smackdown to give underused guys like Alberto Del Rio, Big Show, and the Total Divas women more time. Come on,you can't have all of it!
