WSX

[St. Jimmy]

Seriously, WTF is this shit? I heard people ranting/raving about the first episode...

Really? =/

[Blitz]

Oh come on, it was hilarious :D

[Blitz]

Hilarious for all the wrong reasons, granted, but still hilarious.

[St. Jimmy]

Hilarious for all the wrong reasons, granted, but still hilarious.

I will give you that, I was on the floor about "6-Pac"

[SammyG]

Insane moves.

[McLegend]

Who was Raving about the show?

The only thing remotely positive said about that show was exactly what Blitz said which isn't even positive.

[Jeritron]

Whats so suprising about that, its what he went by in WCW...
But WSX is so outrageously bad that you just have to watch. Its like wrestlecrap got their own timeselot.

[McLegend]

The electrocution stuff was the greatest thing ever

[thecc]

The pilot was filmed a year ago, so i'm hoping it gets better. They have some great talent.

[Blitz]

Yeah the post production effects on the "explosions" were quite phenomenal.

[Jeritron]

Oh come on its a joke and has no potential other than making me laugh AT it.

[Jeritron]

I can't wait for the pirahna tank head dunk. Now THATS a spot. lol

[St. Jimmy]

He went by Sixx, not 6-Pac. He was getting his wonderful X-Pac heat in arena smaller than my high school gym.

[McLegend]

Yeah the post production effects on the "explosions" were quite phenomenal.
lol I now want to see an electrocution on every show.

I better get that or I will boycott

:shifty:

[Gone Mad]

I can take only so much bad. After all, I watched WWECW instead of it. UGH!

[Blitz]

I also loved the absolutely blatant piping in of crowd noise, and the insane ring announcer.

[RGWhat316]

I mainly watched it during commercials of ECW, but it was entertaining. Some of it was funny for the wrong reasons, as it didn't seem like a serious wrestling show. Falling and seeing pyro was hilarious, but some of the moves were cool looking. There is almost no way they can do it to MTV's schedule though. Not even 20 minutes of show with 3 commercial breaks, just will not do.

[The One]

I kind of wish I would have watched it. Just so I could see. :(

[RGWhat316]

Looking at MTV's schedule, they are re-airing it at 1:30 am and 12:30 am tomorrow night. So I may stay up tonight watch the full episode in less than 2 hours.

[Skippord]

I also loved the absolutely blatant piping in of crowd noise, and the insane ring announcer.
I hate that guy

[Vietnamese Crippler]

:wtf: at Battle Royal/Ladder match

:|

[Fignuts]

LOL the ring announcer is awesome.

I gotta be honest, I really don't mind spotfests. I'd rather see matches with great psychology, or a technical clinic, but spot matches are fun too.

[St. Jimmy]

So a WSX title match idea is Vampiro (Fat) vs. 6-Pac?

... Kay.

[Xero]

That shit could sell out the Garden in about two weeks!

:shifty:

[Jeritron]

Six-Pac is a "6 time WWE and WCW champion" and this title is "the future of professional wrestling"

Haven't you been listening to the commentary?

[Caged Heat18]

I watched the premiere episode last night, and I guess it wasn't a bad show for a trainwreck.

[Arnold HamNegger]

Yeah, I watched it too and flipped back/forth between ECW. I couldn't help but have the overwhelming feeling of wanting a plane to crash into my living room.

Dear sweet merciful christ.

[Jeritron]

I can't wait to see the ratings from ECW and WSX last night. Are they out at all yet?

[Pepsi Man]

He went by Sixx, not 6-Pac. He was getting his wonderful X-Pac heat in arena smaller than my high school gym.
If you want to get technical, he went by "Syxx", and Hollywood Hulk Hogan would usually refer to him as "Syxx-Pac". He even had it on his wrestling gear, if I remember correctly.

[jindrak]

It wasn't bad...it was different and to be honest, I enjoyed it.

[Stickman]

any body got clips they could post?

[ron the dial]

This shit is ridiculous. Not bad, not good, just fucking ridiculous.

[thedamndest]

That was the hardest sport I have ever seen. It was like watching a bleeding green beret bending a hippo over a glass covered electric barb wire fence and finishing in its ass while the hippo vomits a rare steak. Brutal, yet poetic and oddly beautiful.

[Destor]

It has great potential with the way they are marketing it in all seriousness. They have no intrest in typical wrestling fans so most of us will no doubt hate it, but I bet it passes TNA quickly.

[Pepsi Man]

Please don't give them any ideas.

The problem is they're not really doing anything that anyone apart from "typical wrestling fans" would bother tuning into anyway. We'll see what happens, though; I'm not gonna predict their immediate demise after one show or anything.

[The Ravishing One]

C'mon guys spoiler warning please!

:shifty:

[Destor]

Mindless humor, that's where this is at.

[Pepsi Man]

Huh? Nah, the same poeple who watch jackass would watch this. Mindless humor, that's where this is at.
But it's not even decent humor, even if I didn't care about pro wrestling at all.

[Destor]

Jackass is sudenly decent humor?

[Destor]

LOOK AT THE FUCKERS JUMP AROUND, WOW! LOL, PIRAHNA!

[Destor]

Yeah, I can see the humor.

[The Ravishing One]

Destor, how many discussions do you hold at the same time?

[Destor]

12-ish. (Per forum)

[Shaved Monkey]

I agree with Destor on this one. It was pretty much utter garbage. Its too bad I didn't have ECW to flip to.

[Disturbed316]

Someone post some vids

[starfox8500]

That shit could sell out the Garden in about two millenia!

:shifty:

Fixed it for ya Xero!

[starfox8500]

I watched the premiere episode last night, and I guess it wasn't a bad show for a trainwreck.

A-TRAIN WAS THERE!? :eek:

[Destor]

It has great potential with the way they are marketing it in all seriousness. They have no intrest in typical wrestling fans so most of us will no doubt hate it, but I bet it passes TNA quickly.Last night's "official debut" of Wrestling Society X on MTV drew a final 1.0 cable rating. An audience share has yet to be released at this time. Either way, that is a VERY impressive debut rating for WSX and MTV, especially with the show going head-to-head with the last 30 minutes of ECW on Sci Fi which normally draws in the 1.4-1.5 range. The 1/24 Wednesday edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final 0.8 cable rating. While this is way down from the 1.1 rating the show has been averaging in primetime, the feeling is that since the show was switched days and on at a later time, many in the company aren't seeing it as a bad thing right now.
Yeah. Shouldn't be long.

[Fignuts]

Six-Pac is a "6 time WWE and WCW champion" and this title is "the future of professional wrestling"

Haven't you been listening to the commentary?

I can't stand when people rip on commentators for saying that stuff. What the hell are they supposed to do? Tell the audience that their wrestlers suck, and that their title is worthless? Yeah that'll get ratings.

[Destor]

LOL, Fignuts knows. Oh yeah: WSX NEEDS EL GENERICO.

[Destor]

Just saying.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I enjoyed it for what it was... The battle royal was horrible, but battle royals in general usually are. The Sydal/Evans match was entertaining. I'm in the boat where I can watch this, see guys I wouldn't normally see on tv, and see some nice looking moves and be entertained, or I can watch ECW and be upset about how fucked up WWE has gotten...

Hmmm.... Entertained or pissed off....

[Destor]

I'll just watch ECW as it airs and then download WSX. That's my plan.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

To each their own. I haven't watched the last 3 or 4 episodes of ECW... Then again, I haven't really watched any WWE programming in about a month. I think they finally were able to drive me away.

[Destor]

Meh, as long as you don't stop watching wrestling altogether I don't. I'll take EL Generico vs Super Dragon over the current WWE product any day. It's like sometimes I read dilbert (WWE) and sometimes I read shakespere (RoH, IWA-MS, PWG, NOAH, etc.) But I know I'm going to get completely different experiences from each of them. And I get what I expect.

[Destor]

It's hard to let down a realist.

[Pepsi Man]

I can't stand when people rip on commentators for saying that stuff. What the hell are they supposed to do? Tell the audience that their wrestlers suck, and that their title is worthless? Yeah that'll get ratings.
They could've been more accurate/informative when going over wrestler title histories and still hyped the wrestlers as well as their title.

[PullMyFinger]

I'm happy for the rating WSX got, but let's be honest with ourselves for a minute...that's hardly wrestling. That sitcom (yes, I'm calling it a sitcom) did excellent on its debut night.

[thedamndest]

You guys are missing the point here. They've only got 30 minutes, so unlike the WWE, they can't spend an forty five minutes advertising the unrated Marine DVD. They are ALL action. There's no time for 'rest holds.' WSX takes the 'rest' out of wrestling. In fact, I move they rename it wractionaling. It is also a known fact that instead of coffee for breakfast, WSX stars drink thumbtacks mixed with blood.

[Pepsi Man]

There's plenty of time for "rest holds". I liked it better when every fan didn't think they knew everything there was to know about wrestling a match, to the point where they criticize a guy for using a fucking rear chinlock. Guess what. THAT'S WRESTLING!

[hitman23]

I agree with most that it was a complete cluster fuck. But i also see them trying to cram everything into 30 minutes being one of the reasons it was so bad. The scary thing is this crap could catch on with a generation that has not grown up on wrestling. They see the explosions, the spot monkeys, and think its cool. All of a sudden the JACKASS audience has something new to watch on MTV. It could end up being huge with an audience of new wrestling fans or old ones who are tired of the current product. Dont get me wrong i love a good spotfest as much as the next guy, but ill take Benoit vs. Angle over it anyday. What im saying is this has the potential to be the new wave of sports entertainment or it will fade into the night. Either way wrestling needs a shot in the arm, but this is not it.

[thedamndest]

Rest hold is to baby carrots as WSX is to beer battered sabertooth tiger.

[ron the dial]

What?

[Disturbed316]

lol Black Label Society

First match, one for the spot monkeys, pretty shit. Oh dear god, Justin Credible :nono:

Shame Vampiro is with these bunch of idiots, he was pretty awesome back in the day.
