View Full Version : WSX Episode pulled because of semi-common wrestling "stunt"
In the midst of major shakeups within the network's executive end, MTV has pulled the fourth episode of MTV Wrestling Society X from next week's scheduled airing at 10:30 PM.
While the actual yanking of the episode was due to an issue with the MTV's standards and practices department, sources claim that the network is also trying to change their strategy moving forward, both with WSX and other first-run programming. A program titled "Scarred" will run next Tuesday in WSX's usual timeslot.
The pulled WSX episode was slated to feature the debut of IWA Puerto Rico star Ricky Banderas, during an angle where he would throw a fireball into WSX champion Vampiro's face. MTV initially approved the storyline and stunt when it was filmed during WSX's taping in Los Angeles. Once the network received and reviewed the episode, however, the decision was made to not allow it to air due to concerns over viewers possibly recreating the stunt. Since the fireball angle was one of the company's main storylines for the length of their episodes, the situation went back and forth within the network and has yet to be resolved, so the episode was pulled.

Sooo... They air Jackass and allow explosions on the show that are evidentially atomic-bomb forced, but pull because of THAT!?
:wtf:

lol that is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard.
Didn't Teddy Hart purposefully ELECTROCUTE someone last week? There's a bigger chance of kids trying that then to throw fireballs at each other.

I don't know what MTV is worried about unless kids find that flower from Super Mario Brothers, they won't be throwing fireballs.

Yeah in order for people to recreate stuff they see, they would actually have to ya know watch the product. And by judging the ratings, most people don't.
And the people who do either don't know where to find flash paper or think it's really coming out of the guy's hand.

They've already taped their entire season, right?

Pretaped a whole season? Damn.
Does this mean they're not opting for PPVs?

Yeah, the whole first season was taped last year, I think.
They're supposed to tape the second season in March or April.

I've actually been enjoying WSX, so this does sound pretty dumb. MTV constantly airs stuff that people seem to re-enact. So what makes them care now?

This all stems from the Beavis and Butthead incident with Mr. Rogers all those years ago.

Some kid burned his house down and Beavis got blamed for saying "FIRE FIRE!" They weren't allowed to have Beavis say "FIRE" anymore.
Wow, standards and practices are pussies.
Here's the "stunt".

Well, I heard that when MTV found out there was actually live music played in the beginning of every episode, they threatened to pull the show. :shifty:

Music on Music Television is a definite no-no.

What a damn shame, I just saw the WSXTra stuff. It's a million times better than the stuff they put on TV.

It is probably because I'm dislexic, but I thought the title said semi-colon wrestling "stunt." And I thought since when does MYV care about grammar?
