"The world of crafts tends to bring to mind genteel images, like quilting bees, decoupage lampshades and the pre-prison aura of Martha Stewart.
It does not usually evoke chain-link cages, spotlights, rabid fans and a deafening announcer shouting things like 'Step away from the glue gun!' and 'Shut the craft up!'
But crafting and grudge-match pro wrestling may end up more closely entwined in the public imagination after tomorrow night, when the Style Network introduces 'Craft Corner Deathmatch,' an unconventional game show in which two amateur crafters go head to head in timed trials, trying to make the best pillow out of old couch fabric or a brooch using only candy."
I love it! Where do I sign up?
