WWE and NBC announced this week that "Saturday Night's Main Event" will return to the network this March after a 13-year hiatus. I welcome the news that we'll once again be subject to the wrestling program that displaces "Saturday Night Live" four times a year. My only misgivings are that wrestling has slipped so far that I barely pay it any attention anymore, and that it's hard to imagine how big a deal a special wrestling card will be when there's now pay-per-views every month and four hours of new matches on cable each week. SNME was cool back when all we had were the Sunday-morning shows where the stars just crushed the scrubs.

Oh well, here's hoping they'll find a way to set up a 20 minute Kurt Angle-Shelton Benjamin match.
