Wrestling Society X

Clareman

Just surfing through the channels and discovered that it's on MTV now, not too impressed to be honest, seems very shabby production, or has WWE just ruined it all for me with all there polished work

Bob the Seducer

I watched a little of WSX online before and I could take or leave it, the basic concept is that:
"WSX is meant to have an "MTV feel" to it and an "intentionally "underground" look with a ratty ring with no apron and rag stuffed turnbuckles. The show is also intended to appear more like a reality show with interview segments. Another key difference between WSX and other wrestling promotions is that WSX will have live bands playing during shows"

...so what you took for shabby production is what MTV thought was 'underground'!

I didn't think the production was shabby at all. It's the wrestling that's shabby! Although some of the guys are capable of having good matches in that WSX style. The Dragon Gate lads being some

That Hart Kid impressed me, Vampiro appears to be eating too many pies, Justin Incredible has gotten very small or i am imaging things..... in fairness to them from the show i saw last night there timing was perfect and had you attention going from in the ring, to outside and back again in the space of 30 seconds.

It's never gonna be WWE but it could be an interesting enough Wednesday night watch.

cenas boy

it obviously doesnt want to be WWE but entertained me.the jack evans match seemed a bit who could out flip eachother but i thought it was great

Clareman

it was interesting enough, I don't think I'd set sky plus for it, saying that I don't do that for any wwe stuff either (except the odd special).

Teddy Hart is talented, but his ego has gotten in the way a lot of times. He's been released from WWE twice already, but apparently they're interested in him again now. Credible was always kinda small, but I don't think he was wrestling much at all until he returned to WWE last year, so he probably did lose some weight. That first episode was taped over a year ago by the way, Justin signed with WWE before they taped the rest of their shows

The one thing that I think is absolutely brilliant about it above all else is the fact that the wrestling is the focus of the show. It's such a unique concept for a televised wrestling show! Pity they only got the ten episodes

Clareman

good point Fozzy, I don't watch much wrestling but catch the recaps online most of the time, looks like TNA run at about 7/8 minutes of actual wrestling for there 1 hour show

You guys know that WSX was canceled by MTV, right?

Its a shame since its another wrestling company out of business plus one less competitor for WWE.

Yeah, they really need competition, I don't think TNA is the option, the industry really needs another Ted Turner with bottomless pockets

Matt Sydal is a standout performer who looks like the future of wrestling! I will miss seeing him perform along with his hot ass girlfriend Lizzy Valentine. If WWE was smart they would hire him along with others for ECW to wrestle their explosive style of wrestling for the new ECW. I will truly miss the bitchslap and other extreme moves of WSX.

Watched the first episode of wsx, the one with the battle royale for the contracts. It was all a bit too gimmicky for me. The kind of show that would be a yard tard's wet dream.

You don't have to miss him, you can see him in many Ring of Honor events if you'd like to. He's a lot better in ROH, as the matches aren't as lacking in time or sense as WSX's. There were reports that WWE were interested in him a few months ago

Sydal would be criminally wasted in WWE much like Gibson.

Saw WSX for the first time last night, and what can I say? Its f**king awful. Rushed matches, appalling camera work, pathetic commentary. And to think I stopped watching Final Battle 06, to see this tripe. Put on FB straight after for the amazing KOW Vs Briscoes after, and I was appeased once again

Glad WSX is cancelled, though if it kept going, maybe Colt wouldnt be off to WWE so soon.
