Confirmed: Smackdown to Thursday

[AquaCityBoy]

Smackdown is one of the highest-rated shows on cable on Friday nights.

I don't really see how a move to Thursday will really solve anything, unless storylines actually get advanced on Smackdown again. Either that, or it's just SyFy wanting that Friday timeslot back.

All this means is instead of Impact I'll be watching Smackdown before Black Jesus comes on

Good news here.

The Jeff hardy punk edge Jericho 09 era was pretty damn good with jr on commentary

That was the best Smackdown era post ruthless agression era imo.

Years ago this would've been news but smackdown is basically just a raw recap with some matches.

there goes nxt viewership

It should move to Saturday night any way it has that 6:05 feel. Plus its not like the show is dependent on first run numbers since its aired primarily on a digital network in the states.

Another 750 splash on the horizon?

Never should've left in the first place.

I always felt a little insulted by Smackdown being on Friday in the first place, like Vince was telling his own fans they're all either kids or have no social life

The CW did that to them.

The best periods for Smackdown after the brand split IMO were up until JBL got the belt and then 06-07

JBL was goat with the belt though, his fueds with Eddie, Cena and Taker were goat

Also, it brought us this classic moment

I would agree but now I have no social life and need something to watch on fridays
