WWE will be eliminating the Heat TV show within the next few weeks and move ECW to taping on Monday night and airing on Tuesday. The idea is that it would drive the ratings more to have Raw stars as guests.

At this point the plan is for Smackdown tapings to be a two hour show.

It appears the scheduled double Raw taping advertised for 6/9 in Oakland is being changed as the 6/14 house show in Salt Lake City was changed today to 6/16 and a Raw taping. It was originally a Raw taping before the decision was made to tape two shows in Oakland as a cost saver.

So will ECW be after RAW? That means (atleast on the east coast) RAW ends at 11:07 or so.... which means ECW wont start till 11:20 (change ring aprons, announcers, etc) and ECW usually goes about 65 minutes.... so that means RAW will end for live fans at 12:30am? yuk, esp with most people going to work/school the next day. WWE better put ECW at 7:45 then when they run on the east coast/central time zones.

The final journey or just the beginning?

12/5 - PGW in East Haven, CT
12/6 - NEW in Waterbury, CT
12/13 - JAPW in Rahway, NJ
12/14 - CHIKARA in Philadelphia, PA
12/26 & 27 - Final Battle Weekend (tent)

My assumption is that it will be taped before Raw as they are elminating the Heat tapings.

Yeah, but I'm curious as to where we'll get our Val Venis fix now that there's no Heat? Laughing

This must mean Morrison and Miz will drop the belts soon or move to SD!

They're probably just doing this so that they will have more time to correct Adamle's commentating mistakes

Why? so they will be watched even less then they are on ECW? If they want people to watch them who are over the age of 8 years old then they shouldn't go to SD they need to go to RAW...not like it's their choice.
