>>14035433Do you know how/why/when other Networks became allowed to bid on Smackdown?
AFTER Fox elected to not renew (read:CANCEL) them from their own Network. Then, and only then, was bidding opened up to other bidders.
The idea that the show would have remained on Fox were it not for other bidders is a complete lie propagated by braindead idiots who don't know jack shit about how the TV business/exclusivity periods work. The only reason other Networks got to bid on Smackdown at all is because Fox C A N C E L L E D it completely off their lineup and threw it away like useless old garbage that USA then scrambled to pick up since they lost Raw.
USA as a Network sinks without WWE programming anchoring them. They would take ANY WWE TV show. Hell they aired that NXT garbage for years
