Nice - wrestling on SciFi.

:SARCASM ON: I was soooo hoping that this would happen someday since I have longed for ECW to reappear on TV. Now that it is back, SciFi can continue to be the greatest network ever :SARCASM OFF:

On the plus side, it looks like the BR DVD will finally be the version that it should have been to begin with, plus giving you the alternates. Then you can have arguments between the various sides of your personality over which version is the best.

But will we ever sold the "how many androids" question?
