 The End of an Era: Exit Smackdown!, Enter Velocity! | |
I was watching Excess last night and I saw the commercial for the newest series in WWE television. On Excess, it was explained that Velocity is a new show that will premiere next Saturday containing original matches featuring superstars of the Smackdown! brand. What I take this to mean is that Smackdown! has been taken from UPN on Thursdays, changed to Velocity and moved to TNN on Saturdays. Also, this may mean an all-new set and look for this new show. A new stage and a new color (green).
As a result of the time slot for this show, the Excess series is done for. Last night was the final episode.
I think this is a great move on the WWE's part. Finally, I can see the other brand's show in it's entirety now that it's on TNN instead of UPN. I no longer have to settle for highlights that have been shortened and simple explanations from Cole and Lloyd when I would much rather SEE all the backstage occurences.
What do the rest of you think about this move by the WWE? |
