I imagine this means nothing for us Canadians and we'll still get Smackdown on Wednesdays?

I think Smackdown will improve once they go to to USA, but it has been interesting more recently.

SD isn't as bad as some are making it out to be. We usually get some solid wrestling on that show.

Smackdown moving to USA network wont change the ratings; if this is WWE's plan. There still going to be bad.

I hadn't heard that Tough Enough was coming to USA. I'm surprised it isn't going to the Network.
Has there been any word on why Sy-Fy isn't airing wrestling anymore? Other than the fact that it never should have been there in the first place. I had anyways read that the suits there were happy with the ratings.

The Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match on SmackDown last week was solid. Not to mention the AJ Lee & Paige/The Bella's promo from the go home to WrestleMania XXXI was good. The move to Smackdown to USA Network means for the first time RAW and SmackDown are being aired on the same network here in the United States. Canadian's have been seeing this setup since RAW moved from TSN to The Score (now Sportsnet 360) in 2006.

One thing for adult fans like us, is that there is too much product. Ain't nobody got time for that. I'd be perfectly content if they cancelled all shows except RAW and NXT, and made RAW only 2 hours. Agreed 100%. Some people don't seem to think so but there can absolutley be "too much content" and I think WWE currently falls into that category. That was pretty evident as recently as last night when guys had to pull double duty just to fill time because they were short handed for some reason. At this point, there is really no need for Smackdown to even exist if we're getting the exact same thing on Raw every Monday. Never have I ever heard a wrestling fan want less content. The move to USA Network won't really change things for me because I'll still watch Smackdown every week.

While I still watch Smackdown and get the idea of wanting more wrestling, I can see where it hurts the product. Because they have to fill so many hours, it forces them to book millions of rematches and fill tons of time with recaps and nonsense. It can be a positive and a negative.

I guess I'm a little surprised but it really doesn't mean much for me it just goes from channel 244 to 242 and means the only show I will be watching on SyFy now is 12 Monkeys lol.

Doesn't change anything for me. I'll still DVR it. I'll still read the spoilers. Then, if something jumps out at me from what I read, I'll watch those parts.

That's pretty cool, I guess.
I'm still waiting for Sky Sports to actually show Smackdown with the rest of the world on Thursday over here.

Aww nobody watches Smackdown? #GiveSmackdownAChance There really isn't any incentive to watch it when there's little-to-no character development and the matches are just repeated on Raw the following week. Kinda true, but ever since the start of 2015, they've began to make Smackdown different from RAW, which is why Bryan often doesn't appear on RAW, because he's said in the past that he intends to make Smackdown his show, and make it important again

SD! is the workhorse show. Just like the days of the SD!5 with Angle, Eddie, Brock, Rey & Edge.
These days, DB, Dolph, Ryback, Kidd & Cesaro, etc. all get far more air time on SD! because it's not AS storyline-driven, but they still get the chance to cut a promo or have side-video vignettes.
Plus, there's no JBL and Booker.

Smackdown on SyFy was always questionable besides that it brought rating to the network. This is a upgrade for show in a sense but unfortunately as long as Raw is 3 hours Smackdown won't be worth watching.

This could be good, they could make SmackDown live maybe.
