Could smackdown! go live too?

[Guest Blackston]

I think that the WWF could easily go to having both Raw and Smackdown go live.  I am not quite clear on things, but I think that house shows will only feature one roster or the other, is this right?  Currently the WWF works straight from Friday to Tuesday, which gives wrestlers Wednesday and Thursday off to go back home.  Could the Smackdown wrestlers have their work schedules go from Wednesday to Sunday with Monday and Tuesday off, while the Raw roster keeps their schedule as is?

I'm betting they will probably change the whole schedule for the wrestlers.  With the roster as big as it is, and with Raw and Smackdown splitting house shows, wrestlers could get switched to a 4 day work week and still have three off.

Wouldn't it cost more to air two live shows? I think Smackdown will still be taped, so the WWF can edit stuff.

Actually it would cost more to do the show, and then have to edit and do all the post production work to get it ready for Thursday.
