Plus what is the problem with a ticker at the bottom? Thats a plus not a minus. The Score is big enough in Canada…its better than repeat episodes of Dogshit I mean Bodog.

(No ECW yet...) True, they aren't the biggest, but they do okay. I'm psyched up! More MMA I don't have to buy PPV for! :) The Score is big enough to be home to the WWE, by the way, on Monday and Friday nights. (No ECW yet…) True, they aren’t the biggest, but they do okay.

In fact I think one of the reasons I've been enjoying the WEC more lately is because of the way it's produced.

I just wanted to say that The Score, and bless them for signing this deal, is not "one of Canada’s top national sports television networks". There are two big sports channels, TSN and Sportsnet, then a big drop off in viewers to the Score, who are number 3 in the market, and then some even smaller players, Setanta, Fox Sportsworld Canada, etc, that are only available on Digital Cable.
