Sky Sports to broadcast WWE Smackdown LIVE this week.
For one week only Sky Sports 3 will broadcast WWE Smackdown LIVE on Tuesday night at 1am.
NOTE to WWE Fans:
-WWE Smackdown is set to end at 3am UK Time but if I was you I tape the next show on Sky Sports 3 as WWE Raw LIVE always runs about 5-10mins over every Monday night.

And word is whilst they're keeping Hunico, the massively-botch prone original SC has been released. Best move they could have made really.
If he has been released (and apparently he's been released more time than John Cena's been fired) it's got nothing to do with botches.
It's all about his attitude in the WWE. The guy has been a walking advertisement in how not to conduct yourself in the locker room and ****ed off a lot of people in the process.
Incidentally though, Sin Cara v Del Rio has been canned because Del Rio is stuck in Mexico trying to sort out a new visa as his has expired.
Nice one WWE, putting the title on someone who's visa was nearly expired, GREAT idea.
Almost as good an idea as building up a Nash v CM Punk match, only then to have to do a last minute swerve when they realise Nash isn't fit to wrestle and he fails a wellness test!

Re: WWE
Actually I've only just seen this week's Raw, there was only one 'moment' that I could see and that was the headscissors - which I wouldn't call a botch, it was more sloppy than anything else. Not as bad as Mistico's level of botch anyway.
In any case it seems like they're turning him heel now, his seemingly botch-free match with Daniel Bryan was pretty good if too short.

There were a couple more less obvious ones, mostly positioning problems. How can you not call that headscissors a botch? It was so much of a botch it's cut from the WWE videos of the match. If it was a normal smackdown it'd have been reshot.
The Daniel Bryan match didn't have any obvious botches, but it was pretty lack luster as well. None of the high tempo stuff Sin Cara v1 was bought in for.
The heel turn also seems to be setting it up for Sin Cara v Sin Cara, despite the rumours he still hasn't been released.
I just don't get WWE booking though, Sin Cara v Bryan is a match that just shouldn't of happened. Neither can afford to take a loss, Bryan is buried so deep in the roster now I can't remember the last time he won a match, yet he's meant to be a future heavyweight champion? and Sin Cara is losing what little pop he had due to his matches not being anywhere near as high paced as they were with Sin Cara v1.
They should be building Bryan up yet they keep feeding him to people.
Same problem with Barret, what's the point of throwing him into a squash match with Cena? It wasn't even anywhere close to being evenly fought, just a straight forward squash.
Then there's the sheamus booking, ok he wins again Khali via DQ, I don't think Khali should be anywhere near the ring to start with but that doesn't matter here... and then destroys not just Khali who's meant to be a giant, but Jinder as well?
The whole of super smackdown was one huge let down IMO. The main event had an obvious conclusion, they couldn't extend the feud any longer after already lining up Mark Henry for night of champions, AND advertising Orton as the champ on the posters. The entire booking of the Orton Christian feud had been dreadful. So one sided in the results, and now they've firmly buried Christian in the mid card despite him being one of the best workers in the company, far far better than Orton.
Getting bored of CM Punk now as well, what heat he had has disappeared as we've got to see the same promo constantly since his return with no movement on anything, other than him being squeezed out the title race to instead fight retired superstars. WWE need to learn how to show not tell because repeating the same things over and over again isn't convincing anyone that stuff is changing.
Glad to see that Nash was released. This guy walks in and out of companies whenever he feels like it. Give him a few months and he will be back on TNA shows once again.
The Triple H COO angle shouldn't end this fast so I expect Punk to get screwed at NoC
Don't see Del Rio dropping the title so early either.
The Mark henry angle is where he should be instead of getting beat week in week out by mid-carders when he is constantly billed as the ''world's strongest man'' Although there is some crappy continuity. One of the commentary team (Probably J.R) ''How can orton hit the RKO on a 400lbs guy''... Well the same way he did a few weeks ago? Also the time he RKO'd the 500lb Big Show.

I did say it was only a rumour - are you sure you're not a UKFF'er? You have all the required traits
Aye I know, but I can't really address it to Meltzer or whoever started the rumour, so as I know how much you love Mystico it seemed appropriate to direct it at you
I just feel it's important that every wrestling thread has a face and a heel
This is why I don't post on UKFF though, easy enough to pop in here occasionally and disagree with you over Sin Cara, but a whole forum full of people to disagree with? I don't think my social life could handle that.
