And what was wrong with leaving it on USA? -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 14:31 2
- Raw is on USA. They brought Smackdown to SyFy for more programming synergy. Besides who's home on Friday night to watch it? - Remlik Nov 16, 14:41
- There's 2 programs. Raw is still on USA. They had a 3rd show that NBC wanted (ECW) in 2006. It ended up on Sci-Fi and boosted ratings. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 14:38
