Which show is better, one that is taped or one that is live? With being live, it can showcase what fans think of the product. With Taped programming, the company can edit out any mistakes being done. Last time I went to Smackdown event, I think London or Kendrick slide in the ring to all way through the other side of the ring falling but the tapings edit that out.
So which is better of the company?

Nowadays, Taped.
Back during the Monday Night Wars, Live. (Isn't that right M. Schiavone?)

Live. Taped shows lack the excitement, the anything can happen feeling that I get watching a live show. Very rarely is there a taped show that holds that excitement that I have watching a live show.

But how can one tell if a show is live or taped. I can honestly say if Impact was not told whether if it is live or taped, I would have assumed it was live. Sometimes good editting can make a taped show feel live.

But how can one tell if a show is live or taped. I can honestly say if Impact was not told whether if it is live or taped, I would have assumed it was live. Sometimes good editting can make a taped show feel live. Its just something that you can tell. The audio being the biggest thing (a change in volume or the lack of crowd noise all of a sudden). It may sound strange but, WWE and TNA try so hard to make the taped shows look and sound perfect that it becomes painfully obvious that its taped. Add to that, the fact that there are spoilers out there and that neither company hides the fact that the shows are taped and it just sticks out to me. The taped shows never come off as important or good to me as the live ones. Live. Taped shows lack the excitement, the anything can happen feeling that I get watching a live show. Very rarely is there a taped show that holds that excitement that I have watching a live show. Yeah, I'd agree with this. This is one of the reasons why I find watching SmackDown so boring. Agreed, I almost never watch Smackdown! as it just comes off as boring.

I believe that can all change once WWE and TNA goes HD.

I don't think it matters too much. If it's a taped show, I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference besides the fact that it's known.

It just has an extra sense of excitement when it is live.

Live
Post production has NO business in wrestling. The live aspect is what makes wrestling unique in the entertainment world.

Live is superior.
If everything was taped, the amount of John Cena crowd noise pumped into the audio would be over 9000. And that's bad.
Not only that, but I have great respect for wrestlers (and accouncers) that can perform on the fly with the knowledge that what they say and do is set in stone forever. You can't just "Sid it".
Yes, I went there.
Just think about Batista if he was champ on a Live Show for all this time. Oh dear lord shoot me.

Makes no difference. A good show is a good show. If you have an ability to restrain yourself from spoilers its the same thing.

It wouldn't be that bad, I know smarks would hate it to death, but Batista is over and did fairly well on Raw as champion before getting traded to SD.

LIVE, it just has a "must watch" feel.
Think of it like football. It's just not the same to tape it while you work and then come home to watch it. I'd net we ALL end up either hearing what happened or fast forwarding through lots of things to get to "the good parts" and thus ruin any suspense we might have had(albeit possibly thereby saving us some disappointment)
