Sci Fi Channel starts showing WRESTLING???
upprc04:
Sliders is probably one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm glad I have all 4 seasons are on DVD (Yes I am ignoring season 5 on purpose ;D. I started watching the first episode of S5 on Netflix and had to turn it off very quickly.)
Malenko:
*sigh*
SyFy is the sister network to USA. Also its nothing new, they used to air ECW like 3 years ago.

I always figured that was so they'd actually show up in search results.
:dunno
That channel has sucked since it began.

It had great potential and had some really good original work and ran some good shows. Unfortunately, those were the gems instead of the norm. UPN was running a better mix of SF type of shows back when SciFi was starting out.
SciFi's adaptation of Dune, for instance, was excellent. And of course, the new Battlestar was a hit. Unfortunately, Crocodile Octopus Whores and wrassling ... not so much.

They started showing the watered-down WWE version of ECW back in 2006, just after the second "One Night Stand." So it's been four years.
Never cared for it. The original ECW was so much better than what they were presenting.

There was a newspaper article back when it happened. The official statement by the execs was to make it less "geek" and more appealing to those who weren't really into SciFi.

Looks like a lot of people don't like the wrestling
SyFy really takes it to a whole new low:
Sharktopus
Dinocroc vs Supergator
Mega Piranha
Megafault
Ghost Hunters (I seriously do not believe that that much so-called paranormal activity can ever happen to a group of people, even if they visit every single haunted place on the planet and even if such a thing truly existed)
I could probably go on and on with how many crap movies they feature now.
In the next five or ten years, the execs are going to reach either an epiphany on how stupid their line has become and "reset" the station back to what made it popular in the first place or they're going to get rid of the last dredges of what made the station popular and they're going to become nothing more than a Desperate Housewives wannabe. I'll bet money I already know which direction they're going.
