I want to know who watches Wrestling? Seriously, who out there thinks that grown men running around in spandex onesies is entertainment? Are there still people out there who don't know that televised Wrestling is completely staged? I do not understand the attraction of watching overgrown teenagers juiced up on steroids jump on each other, especially knowing they're following a script. And yet, this is a huge industry. People spend small fortunes going to arenas to be 'entertained' by this ridiculous farce. It's basically a soap opera on 'roids. These must be the same people that keep programs like When Domestic Animals Attack! and Cheaters on the air.
There is a point to my trashing of Wrestling as entertainment. I've recently noticed that the Syfy network is featuring Wrestling. This just boggles my mind. Science Fiction by definition generally requires at least some small amount of brains to understand and enjoy. The neanderthals that regard wrestling as a sport cannot be the same people that are tuning in to watch programs on Syfy. Now don't get me wrong, Syfy broadcasts some completely ridiculous programs (Mansquito anyone?), but they are at least generally within the bounds of some type of science fiction. Where do these mental midgets in tights fit in? Could we be supposed to scientifically study how people with so few active brain cells can still function? Perhaps Syfy just lost the coin toss. No actual Sports channel will feature something that is so obviously not a sport, so one of the remaining channels was forced to take them. Maybe we could get Wrestling moved to a station that is more in keeping with the audience, like Spike or G4. Those channels are already aimed at people with more testosterone than sense. What say you, fellow Syfy watchers?
