Yeah, I always hated those "pop" commercials. Actually, the "we've got pop" bs was worse than when it was a redneck themed channel. Spike has evolved since then[thank God].

But, ECW on SCI-freakin'-FI network?!

Ok, so I'm cool with ECW being on sci-fi. The next step is to fix Smackdown. My suggestion is to move it to HBO. That way, it can maintain its current non-existant audience, it will still suck complete ass, but people will rave about how awesome it is, thus selling merchandise like mad and making wrestling mainstream again.

Seriously, though. You wanna know what always got me about the Sci-fi channel? For a few years they showed Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Mike Nelson hosting the show. I never actually got to see any eps with Joel, so I thought the Sci-fi MST3K was awesome. That didn't stop them from canceling it though... So, in the following weeks I would try to break my habit of switching to Sci-fi to watch my "progrems". Whenever I turned on Sci-fi, I swear they would show equally attrocious movies as the show that aired really attrocious movies but made them funny and entertaining. Nice move, Sci-fi. You've really come up in the entertainment world. I'm sure you rake in the ratings now. [/nerd]

That's only in America, however. I believe Sky Sports have the right to all WWE programming, hopefully they'll air it as soon as it starts, but usually we have to wait a few weeks to see a new WWE show, don't forget how long it took them to start showing Heat and Smackdown over here.

Ah, the things Vince will do for ratings.
Would this qualify as ratings?

If Sci-Fi's newer "down to earth" programming all bombed, and it was still at least tangentially Science Fiction, imagine what this will do.

Yeah, the "We've got pop" shit was the worst. Though I didn't get TNN until shortly before ECW was kicked off the channel (Meaning I missed out on much of ECW, as well...), so I can't much talk about the Redneck Network. I remember I'd go over to a friend's house, he'd watch ECW and that Roller Jam show that was on there, so I got exposed to a bit of it before that, but still limited. I don't know anyone who watched more TNN than that.

However, Getting Raw was a big coup for TNN, this might be a coup for SciFi, even though the odds are pretty slim (SCiFi has a huge stigma along with it, and ECW was never huge ratings)

LOL. The sad thing is, the shit on now is worse. I watch their Friday lineup (SG-1, Doctor Who, etc.) and they always have ads for "Mammoth" or "Artificial AI" or "Mosquitos."

These aren't even B-Movies.

Remember, that was like 6 years ago. The WWE and Sky have a much better relationship now, what with all the new deals they continue to sign, and us getting Raw live and Smackdown before the USA. Hopefully they should come to an agreement pretty fast.
