The Wrestling Observer is reporting that with the announcement of the new WWE "Superstars" program, the double Smackdown tapings that have been running recently will most likely come to an end. WWE has been running the double tapings as a cost-cutting measure, however WGN, the network licensing the "Superstars" show, will be paying WWE a considerable amount of money which will help recoup the costs of running weekly Smackdown tapings.

Speaking of "Superstars," WWE.com had this to say concerning the new first-run program: "The new program, scheduled to debut in April 2009, will give the WWE Universe the opportunity to watch Superstars from Raw, SmackDown and ECW mix it up in the ring together on one program."

I am glad that these are over. I like just single tapings.

Thank God. Now they don't have to figure out ways to keep the crowd alive for 4+ hours. That sometimes sucks, especially if they're kind of a dead crowd anyway for the first show.

Good for us and the live audience, but bad for the workers. Reading JR's blog it is somewhat better for them to have some more time off.

I never liked the idea of double smackdown tapings.

Glad cause yeah you can burn out the crowd with those double tapings no matter how good the show could be. They need to make SD go live one of these days which is inevitable imo. I'm interested to see how well the Superstars show will do.

The winner of the match gets to front the next issue of PlayGirl. Come to think of it, that would be the best match possible. So, er... just another Kennel from Hell match would qualify.
