Because of the history of SF shows getting dropped in favor of wrestling
I would actively avoid any Con that mixed the too.  JMS speaking would
be insufficient draw for me if there were a sizable wrestling
contingent. Heck, the guest list could include Gene Roddenbury and I
might not show up to see how such a spectacle got pulled off. Cloned
from one of his cells, no B5 episodes featured that but it's appeared
in more than one episode from some other franchise.
