Wrestling On Scifi?!?!?!

I was very angry last night.

The Scifi Channel has decided to put ECW wrestling on their network!

Now this isn't a rant against wrestling. I was a huge wrestling fan until WWF bought out WCW and the quality of the product disappeared faster than a dozen donuts around Rosie O'Donnell.

The point of cable tv is having niche networks that appeal to everyone. Everyone has a few channels to watch that bring them that kind of entertainment.

Scifi HAS gone way downhill with showing the same movies every weekend now. They rarely invest anything into anykind of series outside of Ghost Hunters or similar shows. Ghost Hunters is pretty good and I enjoy it but one series does not a network make.

Their movies, well I'd jump all over the opportunity to direct one, but they aren't very good. I'd love to direct a low budget movie for the Scifi Channel. But this isn't about that. It is about taking a kind of show and putting it onto a network that has no business showing that kind of show!

You wouldn't expect to see Monster Trucks on Lifetime would you? NO! So keep wrestling off of the Scifi Network!!!!

Sheesh....
