UPN to drop SmackDown

I really think, at the end of the day, this is not going to be the deathknell of WWE a lot of people are (already!) making it out to be.

SmackDown is still a relatively high rated show, despite UPN's decision to change its formatting. There are a lot of network (maybe not broadcast channels) that would kill to get the prime time ratings that SD gets on a bad week. So they'll find a home, I'm sure.

This is not like ECW with TNN. As much as SmackDown has generally sucked for the past 18 months or so, it still has a big enough fanbase to keep it marketable. Anyways, that's my early take on the situation.
