Wrestling Society X to go Head-to-Head with ECW

[Fox]

MTV will begin airing “Wrestling Society X” on Tuesday, January 30th at 10:30 eastern and pacific. This of course means that the show will go up head-to-head with ECW on Sci Fi. MTV will air ten episodes of the show which will combine wrestling with live music performances. Bands confirmed for the series include Deftones, Good Charlotte, and New Found Glory.

The wrestling end of the show will be handled by Big Vision producer Kevin Klinerock, Vampiro, and Cody Michaels. Klinerock is a former XPW official and Vampiro will act as head writer for the project.

Wrestling talent confirmed for the project includes Ruckus, Vampiro, Sean Waltman, Jack Evans, Matt Sydal, Lizzy Valentine, Teddy Hart, The Human Tornado, Dragon's Gate stars Masato Yoshino and Genki Horiguchi, Colt Cabana, Jimmy Jacobs, Ricky Banderas, Aaron Aguilera, B-Boy and others. The series was taped in its entirety last month in Los Angeles.

Not a bad line-up, to be honest. I think this could be real good.

[Gulak]

I'll be watching. A half hour though?

[weather vane]

deftones are good

[Xero]

I'll TiVo it and check it out. I doubt it'll be great, though. I heard the entire thing was scripted and was run more like a TV show than a wrestling show (more-so than WWE).

I think I read they pulled the "you must cheer for so-and-so" and actually retaped parts. Hope I'm wrong...

[addy2hotty]

X-Pac heat comes to MTV. Please reform the X-Factor. Pretty please.

[Blitz]

I'd laugh if it ends up decimating ECW in the ratings.

[Jordan]

God I hope it does.

[Volare]

I can see the new book coming out "TUESDAY NIGHT WARS!!!"

It will actually be a picture book consisting of 4 pages...Waltman, Colt, Lashley and Dreamer...and that's about it

[Caged Heat18]

I'm willing to give it a chance, and will probably check it out.

[M-A-G]

Music and wrestling...man, good thing no one running a company came up with THAT before.

[Normal Is Me]

I'd find it funny if TNA Impact! goes head to head with WWE RAW. Then Wrestling Society X goes head to head with ECW on Sci Fi. Then another wrestling company to goes head to head with WWE Smack Down!

[El Fangel]

***This is not real***

Ring of Honor has today signed a contract, that starting Jan 3st/ 2007, they will air a 2 hour show, at 8pm east standard time.

:)

[Skippord]

Zakk Wylde will carry that show to the top

[The One]

I'll watch it...once...

[Skippord]

Vampiro + Zakk Wylde I'm There

[Shadow]

This can only end in tears and fire.

TEARS AND FIRE I SAY!

[D Mac]

I will not watch it on account of X Fuck.

[El Fangel]

Whats wrong, why does everyone X-Pac? Wait...Forget it.

[The One]

Waltman = INCREDIBLY underrated. He and Vampiro (ok and maybe Colt a little bit too) are the only reasons I am even going to give this a one time test viewing.

[D Mac]

Waltman = INCREDIBLY a fucking little no talent piece of shit

[The One]

Quite possibly the single most under appreciated tag team of the modern era.

[Destor]

I will likely never see this if it's up against ECW.

[Fox]

Gonna be interesting to see Jack Evans on national TV.

[Destor]

No, it's really not...

[Londoner]

Sounds like a shite promotion, and why do they have their name ending in the x? Whats up with wrestlings obsession with X anyway?

[D Mac]

Did I mention I hate X Pac? :mad:

[Londoner]

X-division
Mr. X(some character in tna one time)
X-pac
D-generation-x
Wrestling society x

Can someone tell me why the letter x is used so much in wrestling? Just makes it seem more like a kids things to me for some reason.

[Gulak]

And yeah you guys should know that this is gonna be a TV show more than a wrestling. They've actually been turning unattractive people away from the audience in SoCal and only letting in more camera friendly people.

[Kane Knight]

Waltman = INCREDIBLY underrated. He and Vampiro (ok and maybe Colt a little bit too) are the only reasons I am even going to give this a one time test viewing.

That, and you like bands that sing about sucking dick, and GC and NFG fit the bill.

[Kane Knight]

Though I am amazed that MTV managed to outgay WWE's music choices.

[thecc]

I think Ruckus is gonna impress a lot of people.

[KingofOldSchool]

This will suck worse than D2D.

[Kane Knight]

I don't believe that.

[KingofOldSchool]

At least WWE let the fans boo/cheer/chant want they want.







They just mute negatives and add positives.

[Bad Company]

Maybe competition will stop ECW being so shitty

[Fignuts]

There's actually some great talent here. Everyone is focusing on x-pac.

Horiguchi, Ruckus, Jack Evans, Sydel, Yoshino, cabana, gibson. Havn't seen the rest in action, but these guys alone will get me to tune in.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

JIMMY FUCKING JACOBS!

It's MTV. They're mixing pop music and wrestling. I don't think Bret Hart vss Kurt Angle could give me an ounce of confidence in them, Pac or no Pac.

[Corkscrewed]

Cool Ruckus vid. Total spot monkey, but a mindlessly entertaining one.

[The One]

That, and you like bands that sing about sucking dick, and GC and NFG fit the bill.

Actually I have never listened to a single song by any of the before mentioned bands...(that or I might have heard them on a store radeo or a friend's stereo or something)

[.44 Magdalene]

I can tolerate the Deftones, they just make me sleepy.

The other bands mentioned make me want to blow my brains out.

I'll have to watch this anyhow, though. Dammit.

[The One]

I tend to find spot monkeys boring...and Ruckus seems no different. I may end up loving him and calling him the greatest wrestler ever IF and ONLY IF Ruckus' new gimmick is Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks.

[Skippord]

Jesus Christ I just now noticed what bands there were. Awful, I dont mind the Deftones and I believe Black Label is on the first one so that'll be cool

[Blitz]

FUCING RUCKUS BABY!!!!!!!!! RUCKUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Destor]

Ruckus is trash, what is wrong with you Blitz?

[Blitz]

Destor has clearly never seen this video

[D Mac]

X Prick will kill it.

[Fox]

No, it's really not...


Jack Evans > You

[The One]

Fox is an idiot! Destor is the best kept secert in Professional Wrestling today. The charisma of Andre The Giant, the skill of every single man with the last name of Hart combined, the magnatude of Ric Flair, and the sheer awesome of Steve Austin. Destor could run circles around Jack Evans!

Destor! Destor! Destor!

[Destor]

Seriously, I could run circles around Jack Evans. (I have a story but I'm not gonna tell it.)

[Blitz]

I like Jack Evans :'(

[Destor]

Yeah yeah, I know. You like crap. (AKA the Leafs.)

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Jack Evans has improved greatly.

Not saying he's great, but I am saying he's better than he was.

[Blitz]

Destor should shut up :mad:

[The One]

Destor should shut up :mad:

:mad:YOU DON'T TALK TO THE WRESTLING GOD OF THE MODERN ERA LIKE THAT!:mad:

[Blitz]

But you said I was better than God.

PROOF

[The One]

...you know I always knew going over board and making everything out to be a matter of life and death would catch up to me one day. That day is now. I must leave here forever or else I would be forced to admit at times I say things that arn't 100% true. Good bye TPWW.

[The Fitz]

Whoa! Wait a second! People are going to not be watching wrestling on two channels at the same time?

That really boosted my self esteem

[Skippord]

I was so good 3 months ago :'(

[Destor]

Nah.

[Blitz]

Skip's coming up on 10k.

[Destor]

Well look at that, he almost all grown up. :'(

[Skippord]

I need a woman :(

[D Mac]

I hate X punk

[Kane Knight]

I'd rather see them go head to head with TNA. Neither WSX or TNA has the stroke to make Vinnie sweat yet, but competition between the Small Fry leagues could be the best thing to happen to wrestling since the Attitude Era...Not saying much, but....

[D Mac]

TNA is medium sized fries.
