I think that is a fantastic idea. Of course, it's the arrogant IWC fan in us all telling us what a great idea it is, while I am sure there is some reason for "the way it is."
We lament the fact that the "top talent" is on Raw. Well, yes, because the Raw talent can be trusted to work a live show. Do you think that is part of the reason Khali and Mark Henry are on Smackdown?
Also, would you buy tickets to Smackdown? I mean, ONLY Smackdown? Ok, now, WOULD YOU BUY TICKETS TO ECW? Part of the reason they are able to even get people in seats for ECW is the fact that they get to see Smackdown as well. Without Smackdown, ECW is back to selling out Bingo Halls, and with what talent gets paid, that does not work.
I would love to see a live Smackdown on Tuesdays or better still, Wednesdays. I'd have Raw on Monday, SD on Wednesday, Impact on Thursday, and that's my week. I don't watch ECW or SD now because a) I have a life on Friday nights, and b) I think ECW is garbage.

yeah i have the one thing that will help wwe but its always been right there in their faces they just never use it, dont hold your wrestlers back and dont give them stupid gimmicks like jesse and festus, jesse and festus are good but the whole george and lennie from of mice and men gimmick is not needed, snitsky isnt a monster we dont need to see his yellow teeth, its disgusting, you could butter a whole loaf of bread with that teeth

I'm fairly sure the reason SD! is not live is because of the network its on. I'm sure I remember reading that being taped is part of the deal, so they can vet the show and make sure there's nothing too risky on it.

No offense, but this wouldn't hardly "save" W.W.E. This is my take, then followed by my opinion on what could "save" them. (If they indeed even need saving)
Smackdown! Live: So your debate is based on SD being taped, thus fans can check the spoilers & say to themselves.. "This is good, I'll watch Friday." or "This is crap, I can skip." Fact is, W.W.E. needs that, because they need to know what works & what doesn't. Also, the E.C.W. point has been made. If you run Smackdown! live, you have to record E.C.W. first. Either way, the arena empties out pretty quickly.
Fans would show up late, instead of leave early. Honestly, E.C.W. doesn't have the power to substain a live audience on its own. People are there to merely get pumped for seeing SD! stars. (Think of this as a HeAT type of warm up, to the main show, afterwards)
Save Option: My own personal opinion, that honestly I'm sure tons of others feel the same about. Bring all 3 Brands together. Reconnect the rosters, end the brand extention. Keep the W.W.E. Championship, or better yet, keep the World Championship but rename it the W.W.E. Championship.. since it has a more "natural" look. Keep the Intercontinental Championship, Women's Championship, & Cruiserweight Championship.
Take the U.S. Championship & the Raw Tag Team Championships & put them in the "vault." Have the Smackdown Tag Team Championships become the official W.W.E. Tag Team Championships.
By doing this, it will limit lesser talent, but ultimately draw the huge numbers they had during the ratings wars. It'll open up bigger & better Tag divisions, Women's divisions & even cruiserweight divisions. It'll end repeating p.p.v. matches, except for the absolute best ones. Ultimately, McMahon simply doesn't want to end the extention, because he wants to THINK its a booming success. And in a way, it is.. but ultimately, the fans would love a reconnection a lot more.

Look,it does not matter if they end the Brand Split you still have the same creative team runing things,it does not matter what they do because if you have bad writers no amount of talent can save a show.No offense, but this wouldn't hardly "save" W.W.E.

I disagree the brand extension is the only thing saving the wwe from sinking, you put them together and you lose alot of talent, they will have to fire a huge number of road agents and wrestlers, its not worth it keep things the way they are or just get rid of the creative team, use guys who have industry experience rather then guys who havent got a clue

Someone who finally agrees with me, I second pretty much everything you have said there.
Slight additions are as follows:
Have Raw and Smackdown each be 2 & a half hours, no point in making Raw 3hours, try and push the 2 shows as equal like they did back in the day.......
Smackdown to go live, on a thursday......and also to bring the ramp back, dont like the set without a ramp.
Bring back Heat and Velocity, but rather than having them as recap shows, actually fill them with Crusierweight matches, Tag Team title matches and perhaps even I.C. title matches, and have these macthes advertised on Raw and Smackdown, just have both shows as a pure hour of wrestling, Heat on Sunday, Velocity on Friday.
12 PPV's, one a month, end of, perhaps have the big ones (Royal Rumble, King Of The Ring, Summerslam and Survivor Series as 4 hours, Wrestlemania either 4 or 5 hours, keep the rest as 3 hours).
Get rid of the current WWE title belt, ok it doesnt spin now, but it looks stoopid on any1 else other than Cena. Either bring back the Undisputed version or design a new one, simply under the name of 'WWE Champion', no need to add World, Undisputed, Heavyweight or anything else.
And finally, when Cena comes back to this new WWE give him his old gimmick of the rapper, dont turn him heel or face, let the fans decide.

I agree with Will...GOT to bring all three brands back together, dump some belts, and dump a few PPV's.
Along with that, make the belts worth something again. Remember when having the IC or tag belts actually mattered, versus being a 2 week storyline?
Maybe have ALL the champs work all the TV shows, or at least one a week, and have Vince offer a bonus to those performers to make up for the heavier schedule.

As far as the Smackdown live idea, CW cuts away at 2 hours on the dot. Imagine having a great match (I know the WWE hasn't had one lately but play along) and the great match is building to great finish and then we cut to a promo teaser of a homicide in midtown fill in the blank city. How upset would wrestling fans get? It would never work. Besides, aren't ratings juggernauts RAW and ECW live now?

Personally, the SD!/ECW agreement for me is saving WWE. I was following up some of the ratings and RAW is falling. Y2J better hurry up.
SD! Live would be a problem because, as Lonely_God pointed out, it is broadcast on the wrong network. Plus as SD! and ECW are done in 1 night, it would take like 6 hours to complete.
