...I think. In what may be the most confusing press release ever, Impact Wrestling is reporting that tonight's episode of Extreme Championship Wrestling will feature the ECW Divas in a strip poker game. Per the Impact site, the show airs on the SciFi Network, which I found to be a little odd. Is this a Ferengi versus Federation smackdown? Does a geek in a stormtrooper costume battle it out with Hulk Hogan? A click over to the SciFi site confirmed that indeed, ECW airs at 10/9 central, smack in the middle of the network's standard geek fare, and appears to be your standard run-of-the-mill wrestling show.
So, how does a strip poker game make it in to all this? OK sure, that's a stupid question. My real question is, why is it EXTREME Strip Poker? It is possible to get EXTREMELY naked? Since this is the SciFi Network, does extremely naked mean that someone sheds their skin, a la "V"? Do I really want to watch that? [As a fan of the series, it would appear the answer is yes, yes I do.]
I moused over to the ECW site for more information about tonight's game, and found a soft-core porn site that offered little more insight in to the game than suggestive pics, videos, and spelling errors. (Don't all click at once, boys) You'll notice on the front page that the deck they're using has six Aces, which leads me to believe they acquired some Harrah's WSOP surplus.
Gentleman, set your Tivos...
