'Strip Poker Game' booked well in advance for ECW on Sci Fi; October 10
On Saturday, September 23, 2006 at 1:05 PM EST WWE has announced that on the October 10th edition of ECW on Sci Fi, a "Strip Poker Game" will take place involving WWE Divas from Raw, Smackdown and ECW. There is an article up on WWE.com promoting this at this link.
This might be the first of more things to come for the October 10th episode of ECW on Sci Fi as the show will be going head-to-head with Spike TV's "Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock III" match, a show that is expected to outdraw ECW on that night by a larger margin.
The Wrestling Observer did note this week that at first word, it didn't appear WWE was going to counterprogram UFC on Spike TV or even acknowledge it as big competition that Tuesday night. However, by booking this "Strip Poker Game" well in advance, it is a possible sign of more things to come.
