Now this is what I call Reality TV.
I'm surprised we haven't seen more incidents like this outside or around Wrestling shows, or am I missing something? Just for the record, the TV show marred by this tragedy was BattleDOME, NOT BattleBOTS (otherwise, it would have been a pickup truck stabbing an SUV, right?).

I hope this isn't too obscure a news story to fit in with Jason Krannke's new tagline for MetaFilter. Anyway, I've started a thread in MetaTalk for the inevitable hoopla over K's comment. And I expect to see some hoopla NOW!

Because unlike your prejudiced statement implies, wrestling fans are mostly a bunch of good natured folks who are quite able to seperate fantasy from reality.

No, you are in fact missing something.
