    Smackdown Cancelled!!!

    UPN has decided to cancel Smackdown effective 2006. They aren't going to renew the contract with WWE. So either Vince gets a new channel or no more Smackdown.

    Re: Smackdown Cancelled!!!

    The people running UPN are ****ing stupid. Smackdown is the most popular show on the network and the only reason people watch it to be honest. I dont think McMahon'll have any problems finding another network for Smackdown. Even the crappiest SD episode had better ratings then everything else on UPN (except maybe Veronica Mars)
    As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

        they are doing it so to make thier programming higher brow or so they say. A waste of ratings if you ask me.

            Wow I knew the product was going to hell but this is pretty bad. It would be highly ironic if Vince ends up back with USA Network as I've heard the powers that be there kinda regret letting RAW go.

                Yea cause The Parkers, Kevin Hill, Half and Half, Girlfriends, and Reba are so high brow. Apparently they're saying they arent canceling SD and the reporter misinterpreted the quotes in the article.

                        On my cable provider UPN (channel 4) shows the same programs as WB (channel 14) like Smallville and One Tree Hill. Anyway heres the news from Dave Meltzer on the topic

                        From Meltzer:

                        "Smackdown hasn't been canceled. Both UPN and WWE sources have said any decisions have been made that it won't be renewed when the current contract expires are false. This "story" was one reporter a week ago misinterpreting something. The story, which would have been heavily reported within the TV industry if true and well known immediately within wrestling circles, was from from several days ago, passed along on the net over the past two days, nearly a week after it was originally published. It was then repeated without being checked."
                        As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

                            To be honest, I'd love for Smackdown to be moved to another network. In my little podunk town of Wilmington, NC, we don't have a UPN station. We don't get to watch Smackdown until 5pm on Friday on our CBS station.
