Sci Fi Channel to add wrestling to their schedule

Well, I guess it's fitting for the Sci-Fi Channel, since its decline from being classy into being clumsy.  After all, what can be more "fiction" and more "horror-able" than professional wrestling?

Apparently some rookie in the programming department saw all those Buck Rogers episodes and concluded that science fiction = spandex. Therefore, wrestling is appropriate programming for a science fiction network. 

   Scary thing is you're probably RIGHT.  And they're probably NOT rookies either.

I remember when they were first plugging the channel at the local Science Fiction club gatherings 10-15 years ago.  How shocked these guys were that the High Council and members of the Dr. Who Club (The Prydonians of Princeton -- 1200 members in 48 states and 6 foreign countries) were adults with real jobs, and not 15 year old brainburn cases.

They never have had an idea what the target audience for a Science Fiction channel REALLY is.

I sincerely hope that their wrestling show the other night produced the lowest ratings of any show since the inception of their network, and volumes of hate mail that it'll take them until the middle of August to sort through.  But would even that be enough to penetrate their skulls?  Probably not.
