Why is Smackdown still shown on a friday night. The states get to watch it on a thursday and I never enjoy watching smackdown anymore because I already know what has happened from watching clips from WWE's youtube channel. Are Sky Sports not aware that Smackdown is a thursday show or it is another ploy to get people signed up to the network?

I guess SS haven't been able to get a suitable time slot or just didn't get the memo. I don't mind that it's on a Friday night because I personally love me some Friday night wrestling. Takes me back to when I was a kid and Raw was on a Friday night.

I might send sky sports a letter to see if they even realize that they are showing smackdown later than in the US.

You must not know that for years, Raw used to air on Fridays. It only became live for the UK in 2005. So this is nothing new. As for SmackDown, if it's not live then who cares about waiting one day? The spoilers are all over the internet anyway. If you don't want to know what's happened, just avoid them for an extra 24 hours. It's really not hard, especially considering nothing noteworthy happens on SmackDown. It's not like you're being forced to watch the videos on WWE's YouTube channel.

Tyler Breeze literally just debuted. They do stupid stuff on SmackDown sometimes. Like when Daniel Bryan came back from his career ending injury and wrestled his first match. Honestly, if something great happens WWE spoilers it anyway. It's impossible to avoid after that point.

It's become a pretty throw-away show for some time now though... maybe things will change when it goes to a new network (in the US). Talking of Smackdown though - did anyone have any problems with it this week? I have it to record on a series-link and it recorded The Attitude Era V2 special and the first hour of Smackdown... so I checked the repeat showings and all the late-night ones only seem to be an hour(?) - but there's a Saturday morning showing, saying 2 hours. Weird...

WWE spoiled the Breeze thing a day or two before SmackDown even aired. If anything "big" happens on SmackDown you can count on WWE spoiling it on social media.

Weird... I had same issue and when recorded the Saturday show this morning had an hour of golf beforehand!!! So fir second recording in 2 days I didn't get to watch it all. Seriously though smackdown keeps jumping times and sky sports channels over last few months really annoying

I'd rather smackdown be shown Thursdays just so we could watch at the same time as the states
But, Friday nights.... TV is kinda boring, I'd miss smackdown on Fridays if it wasn't on.... So whatever xD I'd still watch

Exactly, can remember going on my schools computer (back in 06?) on a Wednesday morning to see Kurt Angle had won the WHC on Smackdown. I was thinking did they have a live edition but nope.

I was just thinking about when they spoiled Angle winning the title. Think they did it when Swagger cashed in and when Orton beat Christian.

Yeah - it's happened 3 weeks in a row now. It's getting really frustrating - they have five sports channels, but always seem to put the Friday night Smackdown after live tennis/events...

I've got about 2-3 SDs recording now just because Sky doesn't know what it's doing.

It's really annoying. I wanted to watch the Halloween episode live but it's been this way since they switch over earlier this year.
