Change to ECW on Sci-Fi

[Error]

From Wrestlezone

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that for this Tuesday night's Smackdown & ECW tapings in Mobile, AL, ECW will be taped before Smackdown. So, the show will instead air on a tape delay this Tuesday night on Sci Fi.

Since the beginning of the new ECW brand, Smackdown had always been taped first and then the company would change the set over to ECW, going live on Sci Fi. According to some recent reports however, WWE hasn't been satisfied with the product airing live as of late. So they will be taking this measure from now on whenever possible.

Actually, the first show on Sci-Fi was taped as the Sci-Fi censors were sure how the crowd would react.

Wonder how much will actually change?

Good Lashley Promos?

[Ace Diamond]

I thought ECW was taped anyway? Or taped on alt. weeks?

Eh, whatever I don't see what'll change really other than Test actually getting heat, if they do indeed edit in crowd reactions (which I say they do not)

[Mista T]

LOL @ ECW?

Now to install a green screen infront of the ring so that a UFO can show up and abduct Tommy Dreamer, taking him to another planet to battle their greatest monster due to his "determination in the face of danger."

Tommy Dreamer must NARFLE THE GARTHOK!

[KingPopper]

LASHLEY....

And he will job to the aliens.

Man I hate this.

Subtract the people cheering for Punk and Burke and transfer it to Test and Lashley.

I thought the ECW being taped live/after SD! was relatively new. The first few ECW shows were definitely taped before SD!, as people were reporting to WO and other sites the spoilers before the show was even on TV.

[Hiroshi Hase]

I thought it was taped, couldn't tell most times and at least they can edit promos if guys end up stuttering or stammering on their words like Lashley.

Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, it's already hell in a handbasket.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

I was at the second ECW show and it was definately live. I think they're taped on the west coast before the event.

The crowd might be a bit hotter.

[REDUNBECK~!]

Crowd sweetening...And butchered promos. So now ECW will suck AND look even faker. WOO~!~!

So it will resemble Impact then?







Sorry, that was too much of a cheap shot.

Test will now suddenly get major heel heat, and when Lashley appears he'll get an Austin pop.

[Yann]

lolll ill pretend you said live

[hitmanwwf]

Please, just let it die.

Move RVD, Sabu, CM Punk, The Sandman, and Tommy Dreamer over to Smackdown.

The rest can go to hell.

Almost entirely, with the notable difference that ECW at least isn't so horribly paced that every episode appears to take place in a blender on the Frappe setting.

[emoney3265]

It'll be to edit out TNA chants is what I'm guessing.
