    if it were to be live rather than recorded they could actually start to make it relevant again.

    I thought it was half of an old decal for a truck. There was a truck I saw recently with Ted DiBiase on it for example. But the new WWE logo is on that side as well as all the social media stuff.

    The guy in front of the truck looks like Bully Rey.

    I wonder if Smackdown going back to Thursday has anything to do with the TNA and Spike stuff. Either way it would be bad news for TNA even if they renewed their deal with Spike.

    No it has been in the works for a while. When WWE signed a new TV deal in North America a reference was made to Smackdown airing live on Tuesdays.

    Both Mike Johnson and Dave Meltzer independently asked WWE's PR department and the answer was curiously issued this curt statement a couple of months ago: "currently airs on Friday nights."

    Would it not die on its arse on Thursday ratings wise, Friday much less competition.

    More people are in on Thursday nights though. Friday nights for a tv show isn't exactly ideal.

    In other news
    looks like we're getting a new WWE Title:

    8-10 on Thursdays also puts the first half hour up against the most popular TV show in the US as well as American Football.

    Meltzer:
    WWE has confirmed that a move of Smackdown to Thursday is in discussions but has as of yet not been made. They confirmed the production trucks being updated with Smackdown listed as a Thursday night show on Syfy.

    "Someone was overzealous in updating our production trucks," said WWE. "The trucks are being fixed to reflect the current and accurate information of Fridays at 8 p.m."

    Imagine being the lad who did it and has to redo it.

    The Friday ratings are 20% lower than what they were doing on Thursdays. Even with the competition, nobody wants to stay home and watch Smackdown on a Friday night, and the DVR numbers are negligible. Thursday is a much better fit.

    In terms of Del Rio, Dave Meltzer:

    "The story going around is that he slapped a a Social Media manager, at this week's television, but there are a variety of different stories going around regarding what led to this.

    Based on sketchy stories and what wrestlers have been talking about, at catering, somebody asked the person to clean off his plate. The person joked something along the lines of how that's Del Rio's job. Del Rio found out and confronted him. As the story goes, he didn't apologize and then smiled at him, and Del Rio slapped him"

    Dave also mentions TNA and AAA have expressed interest in him.

    Looks like the social media lad Del Rio allegedly slapped will be gone soon too. Can't imagine this was approved.

    Yeah I think they should find someone new.

    You should send them an email, make reference to how you are in Ireland so its unlikely you will get into a row with another Employee independent contractor
