I think SmackDown tapes because people mess up I'm guessing? I'm not sure why they tape.

ECW dosn't tape. It's live. It is live right after SmackDown is done taping. That's why it starts at 10.

For future reference, this should have been posted in the General Wrestling Q&A board, which can be found at the top of the General Wrestling Talk board.

Yes, SmackDown! is taped on Tuesdays, usually before but sometimes after the ECW taping/live event.

It's long been said among fans and wrestlers alike that SmackDown! should be live, mainly because it makes superstars up their game and put on a better, more exciting show. However, i think one of the main reasons it's taped is due to scheduling - it'd take a lot of re-scheduling for SmackDown! to be taped live, and since there are no breaks in the WWE, it's hard to find a suitable window for the change to take place. And with the move to MyNetworkTV upcoming, they dont need any more hassle. That's my theory anyway.

And yes, as far as i know, ECW will be broadcast from London. If not, it's a bit silly for them to broadcast 2 of 3 shows in London, meaning they'd have to fly to and from Europe for the sake of one show.

It is generally live, but it won't be next week because it's being taped in the UK. If it were aired live in the US, it'd have to be broadcast at like 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

Well you've answered the question yourself haven't you. When it's live it's on Saturday's and when it's not live it's taped on Monday's with Raw.

They tape ECW first so they can use the video footage on Smackdown and they can edit out mistakes. Two of many reasons probley.

As for why they pick tuesday for it? I have no idea except that thats when ECW is on so they just tape Smackdown then so they can have plenty of time to edit Smackdown to make it almost flawless.

Raw is broadcast live on Monday.
Smackdown is taped on Tuesday's and aired on Friday's.
ECW is broadcast live, however will be changing soon and moving to Monday's but still airing on Tuesday.

Does that clear it up?

Just to clarify, SmackDown!'s been live once in it's history: September 13th, 2001. It was set to be taped on the 11th, which was a Tuesday, but for obvious reasons it couldn't be. It became the first large public gathering of people after the atrocities of September 11th and it was a show to entertain, not to further any storyline.
