I never saw it but what was the general consensus as to why it failed. Are there any clips of it anywhere ?

Jack Evans got his start there, no?
I remember seeing a promo video and got super excited as I was 15 at the time and I wanted to be a pro wrestler.

But to be fair WSX the guys tried to look like pro wrestlers.This just looked like a bunch of kids messing around in a ring at an mtv house party.

So if Joey Styles was co-announcing, why was it Don Callis who was screaming "Oh my God!"?

Well that's what I mean, how did this not work on MTV or Fuse or have it star on the web, gain a fanbase and then move to PPV's or TV. Also you'd think Bischoff would have cleaned it up abit.

Bischoff: Don't worry I'm sure the next episode won't be as racy and will be more tasteful! TV Exec: The pilot was a piece of (crap) This young man (goes over to Joey Styles and shakes his hand) on the other hand has a future in broadcasting. How would you like to host your own show? Styles: Me? Sure ::cue Weezer:: Just out of curiousity how many promotions has Styles announced for between ECW's closing and being hired by McMahon? |

totally read that as "Bischoff's failed Mallrats promotion" So if they kept going, would Bischoff have them wrestling in a very uncomfortable place? |

totally read that as "Bischoff's failed Mallrats promotion" It failed because the wrestlers at the Pallisades promotion were more convincing than the ones here. |
