I do find ONE connection between wrestling and scifi...they both deal with some very farfetched fantastical subjects.

At a glance this seems like an April fools joke but sadly,its absolutely true.

True and an absolute bummer. Like there aren't excellent and classic SF movies, etc. to screen. I'm with you, I.R. 

They have been running ECW since June 2006.  You only just noticed this now?  Do you also know they are changing their name from Sci-Fi to Sy-Fy because they want other ranges of programming other than just space ships and aliens.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you put people in charge who dont know anything about scifi,science,physics etc...

they dont even usually watch tv...they dont care for scifi if they do watch tv and if they do like scifi,they like it to to be simple,more western like...please dont expect them to THINK.Give them tits and rayguns!(disclaimer...I too like tits and rayguns but not to the exclusion of depth of story,scientific accuracy etc...)

Too much scifi has given in to some non scifi execs idea of what viewers wanted...stunt casting,gimmicky concepts and so on.

I dont have cable so no I didnt know til I was reading about what to replace bsg with.I also found out about the rediculous name change at the same time...like I said above...why not just drop any pretense of being dedicated to scifi programming?They are killing it anyways if they want to add more types of programming.

They have mishandled the channel for so long they need to give up and sell it to someone who actually LIKES scifi.

Some viewers that admitted to watching both wrestling and scifi tried to defend their intelligence to the scifi only detractors.

Saying that just because they liked wrestling didnt automatically mean they were mullet wearing retards.

I say...If you like wrestling for any other reasons than watching sweaty men in tights or watching makes you feel metally and culturally superior for the few moments before you switch channels...then,YES,you are a retard.

Yeah IR...it has always bugged seeing wrestling of all things on the scifi channel...go figure. And on top of that its been nothing but repeats of old shows and they can't tell me ther aren't any other good shows or programs out there to show. It's really sad.

and i say thats the most uninformed and uneducated remark i have every heard come from you I.R, You stereotype people for watching something you yourself may not like, well thats your choice, i don't like the wrestling either but just because someone else does , i don't stand in inbecilic judgement of them. The same stereotype could be applied to any watcher of Science fiction, (geek, nerd, trekkie etc etc). Get off your high horse about a subject thats not even worth mentioning and come back to the real world please. Yes thats a world where we don't care what people wan't to watch on TV and we certainly do NOT judge them because of it.

Yeah IR....your a doodyhead!  

I disagree...I have said way more stupid stuff than that.

In my book(page eleventyseven)...liking wrestling qualifies you as a tard.I refuse to be PC about a subject as culturally important and black and white as wrestling on the scifi channel.

Of course,I agree...whats good for geese and so on...I embrace my inner,outer nerd and so cannot be insulted in any way by the tardly. [e digicons](\(\[/e]

I'm kidding with you Nimbin...you can never take what I say TOO seriously...

NEVER!...I regret I have but 1 life to give for my scifi!

Its a sign of the APOCALYPSE...you know,the whole dogs and cats in unnnatural relationships,the govt involving itself in bailouts,Alyson Hannigan got pregnant and I was NOT the father.

The worst thing about that is you pay twice...money for the privelege of watching even more commercials.

1967...an episode of Star Trek was 50-51 minutes long...now what is it?A typical episode on tv is what,about 44-46 minutes? Less maybe?

But why did you have to include NASCAR in your title? At least it's not fake like Wrestling and Science Fiction.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge SciFi fan, but I'm also a race fan. Personally I like Formula 1, but all racing is good in my book.

whose horse is high there? hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

 Nascar is closely associated to rednecks and mullets...I dont watch it but its kinda real...but it also does not belong on the scifi channel.

Liking Nascar dosnt qualify you as a tard...but I'll be keeping an eye on you.

Fer my next rant...'doctor' Phil...

whatever pays the bills.

been on there as long as I can remember.

fine, sure...but then it ceases to be the SCIFI channel.

Yep, And don't forget...the money for the commercials raises the price of the "goods" or, in this case the "not so goods".
