wwe events [WWE]: RAW, NXT, Superstars & SmackDown (S & R Thread 100) - Page 42

Ah, so they did. That was the live episode though wasn't it? Needed a big match for it.

They cut out the entire Rhodes beatdown on Sky Sports. Cut straight to the Christian/Sheamus seg that I found rather amusing.

It makes sense. Orton already has his title shot, Christian has been wanting his. It's not really about "whoever wins faces Orton", it's just a title match with Orton next in line.

I don't see the point in From The Vault, couldn't they just use that 15-20 minutes to use some of the guys who never get on Smackdown?

Didn't watch SmackDown. Went gambling. Heard the US broadcast didn't even show any of Orton beating Rhodes to a bloody mess. How dumb.

The Living Angelus, there was Superstars.

Alex Riley vs. Primo
Drew McIntyre vs. Mason Ryan
Brodus Clay vs. Joey Gray
Ted Dibiase vs. Tyson Kidd

I'll skip any discussion for the moment.

Where you from exactly? The show still airs internationally, but WWE removed the link to the show off their front page this past weekend when the site went through another update. They haven't uploaded this week's episode to WWE.com or their Youtube page either.

At least for now, WWE has discontinued airing the weekly Superstars show online due to low traffic. The show will continue to be taped for international distribution as part of WWE's international TV contracts. After a two-year run on WGN, the show was moved to WWE's website on Thursdays, but WWE has not released this week's episode and has removed virtually all references to Superstars on their website. The show will be kept alive for international distribution, but WWE said in their most-recent conference call with investors they would like to find a new TV home for Superstars by the end of the year. If not, the show will likely return on the WWE TV Network in 2012.

Guess I'm going to have to watch fan uploads of it from the international broadcast from now.

They can't really have 20 extra minutes worth of adverts in a two-hour program? That would be crazy.

Actually you'd be surprised lol, RAW starts at 2am for us and finishes at 4:15am, so when you look at that theres an extra 15 minutes already and I'd assume Smackdown is exactly the same.

we dont have from the vault, i think its strictly for the uk.

They did show it. Just edited with camera angles and such to avoid showing how much a mess it really was. Still, they had the full beatdown.

But all of you outside the United States can't watch their youtube vidoes, right? Or is that just the vids at WWE.com?

Can't watch them from their Youtube channel either. That's why I unsubscribed from them. Seems silly that they would air Superstars internationally but not in the States.
