Wrestling <==> SciFi?

As a friend of mine so eloquently put it: "ECW?  WTF?"

The SciFi channel... let me repeat that... The SciFi channel shows F-ING WRESTLING!!!!

I was looking for something cool to watch and saw "ECW" advertised with a bunch of roid-ridden actor/wrestlers on it.  I thought there was a screwup, but there is ECW (owned by WWE, by the way) WRESTLING on the F-ING SCIENCE FICTION channel... ridiculous!

Here's my email to their feedback address:
One Question:

Why is there wrestling on the sci-fi channel?

I am looking for some cool new shows to record and I go to "www.scifi.com/onair" and I was horrified to see the ECW banner so prominently displayed.

I looked for some indication that these were androids or aliens in some goofy new series, but, to my dismay, this wasn't the case..

What the heck does wrestling have to do with science fiction?????

I always though SciFi was such a great channel for sticking to a niche like Science Fiction / Fantasy.  It was a tough first few years.  Now, you're making some of the best shows on TV, but, frankly, I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for this channel for airing such garbage.

Please, Please, Please get this crap off of your channel and stick to real Sci Fi shows!

A concerned viewer,
