Maybe John Evans can answer this question for me: why did SyFy show wrestling for two hours tonight? How is wrestling in any way related to science fiction? Perhaps I should have watched. Perhaps every wrestler on the show has to have a science fiction related costume? Alien warriors, predators, bulb-headed martians? And the women who are their sidekicks must wear metallic bikinis and paint their skin green? Probably not, though. From what I saw, it was plain old wrestling: large men who are pumped-up on steroids wearing neon green and orange and yellow bikini trunks, who also sweat a lot and scare me.
Except the Rock. Have I mentioned my love for the Rock? (No input needed here, John.) I love the Rock. Sigh.

Suddenly, I feel in need of saving.
*smacks head*
And now I see the sci-fi connection! Well played, SyFy. Well played.

Hey, just felt compelled to comment - have been flicking through blogs at random this evening, and yours is the only one that has actually captured my mind. And I mean it -with a migraine I just read...I don't know, a fair few. Loving your style and humour, I will definitely be checking back!
I'm new to the blogging scene myself, just starting off - but feel free to check out my ramblings and poems if you like! http://currentcad.blogspot.com
Keep updating, please =)
Thanks, current cad. I've bookmarked your blog! And it's nice to know that someone pops in and reads my inane chatter every once in a while. Lol.
You know how there are, like, many capable writers and only a few good writers? But it's good to be a good writer and, you know, god knows what the other writers are doing, though you wish them well and hope they'll realize whatever it is they're trying to do? It's the same with wrestling. There are many, many wrestlers out there. There are a few good wrestlers out there. Like writing, wrestling can be a worthy undertaking or a colossal waste of time. Sadly, some of the people who love to watch cheap-ass aliens with green blood spurting out of their necks, also love the mindless dreck of bad wrestling, or really, any wrestling, really. But do you want to discourage them? Case in point, young Flex Cavana wasn't much to watch until he figured out the whole mic thing, took on the Brahma Bull persona, and became The Rock. Now we wrestling fans miss The Rock! He was, to use his own tag phrase, "the most electrifying presence in sports entertainment"! And now he makes Tooth Fairy movies...
Who is in charge? Sci Fi lovers are expecting Sci Fi when they tune in SyFy! I think they O.D. on horror, but I can tolerate that. Wrestling, on the other hand, appeals to the morons I avoided all my life. How do you talk to the pencil-necked geeks who decide what is programmed for us? This is a bit like the bullying sci fi nerds had to put up with in high school days. "We can stick this wrestling thing here because the sci-geeks are easy to push around."
A lot of Sci Fi makes intelligent comments on life. Putting this garbage on the screen is an insult.
