Do you watch Smackdown or just read the spoilers?

Im guilty of just reading the spoilers and not actually watching the program. And let me tell you why... becuase its on Friday Nights. Now I'm not saying that this would completely turn the ratings around and make Smackdown watched as much as RAW but I guaruntee if you moved the show to either Tuesday or Wednesday it definitely help. I'd for watch for sure and I'm assuming there are plenty of others who would as well. I mean, what else does syfy have going on Wednesday night that they can't switch to Friday?

So, do you actually watch SmackDown? If not, would you if it were on Tuesday or Wednesday instead of Friday?

In the UK WWE is shown on Sky 3 which is a channel you have to pay extra for. In my house, I only have the Freeview package which only has the free channels, so I don't watch any WWE programming when they're actually on tv. I catch up on all the action as it gets uploaded onto youtube, or I just stream it if I happen to be up late enough. If I had Sky 3, I would still rad the spoilers and watch Smackdown though.
The reason I read the spoilers is because it's taped. If WWE were treating Smackdown on the same level as RAW, they would make more of an effort to secure a live timeslot for it. Smackdown on friday usually pulls in a 1.6/1.7 rating. The live one on Tuesday that they did a few weeks ago drew a dramatically better 2.4 I think (might have been bigger can't remember). This proves that Smackdown is a decent show, and can draw an audience if it were live.
WWE have their own network in the works, ready in a few years apparently. Maybe when that's up and running, all their shows will be live. But until then, I want WWE to push to get Smackdown in a live timeslot, be that on Tuesday or Friday.
