One of the funny things about the world of wrestling, in compared to the rest of the popular culture world, is its non-cyclical nature. There's no off-season, like in regular sports. And, unlike in television, there are no season premieres or cliffhanger endings. It's always seemed funny when the WWF touts the "season premiere" of RAW or Smackdown, since there's no discernible change in the product, just window dressing like the set or graphics.

As most people know, the new TV season began a couple weeks ago, after being delayed a week after the attacks. And this weekend also saw the annual Emmy Awards event (also coming a few weeks after its originally-scheduled telecast date).

This got me to thinking. What would regular television be like if it was more influenced by the world of wrestling? So, for a few minutes, sit back and just imagine if Vince McMahon was our very own Guy Caballero, the slimy owner and program director of SCTV.
