Can I expect (or maybe demand) a full review of Wrestling Society X from RD and Blade on the next edition of Wrestlecrap Radio? I would definitely like to see what you guys have to say about this. Especially since it should be on the early ballot for Gooker of the Year for 2007

Yeah he should. I mean once in a lifetime something like Wrestling Society X arrives and well thats all I'll say. I concur it's on the ballot for 2007 Gooker of the Year and deservadly so but so is Rosie vs Donald and maybe the whole Vince vs The Don is as well. I did a review in the other wrestling section under the thoughts on WSX thread if anyone wants to read my thoughts on WSX. But yeah if RD dosen't mention it I will be disappointed!

Yeah, WSX is easily my front runner for Gooker 07 as of right now.

nah I still think rosie vs. donald trump should be the winner so far for gooker 07 since the fans chanted for the competition.
still though WSX was funny as hug! I thoroughly had a great time watching it for how bad it was. if it does win gooker 07 I think it would be one of the funniest inductions ever.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think Wrestling Society X is a Gooker 07 nominee, at least yet. It was more Extreme than the ECW that's around today.

I still don't get why so many people are comparing ANY incarnation of ECW to WSX. that's like comparing a cheesecake to a giant hunk of s***

ECW was great hardcore action that had meaning behind everything that happened and had actual WRESTLING. WSX is just garbage incarnate.

ECW was great hardcore action that had meaning behind everything that happened and had actual WRESTLING. WSX is just garbage incarnate. I don't wanna step on any toes, but I watched the original ECW and while I was a big fan of it, I can't help but notice that people seem to think it was the perfect promotion or else a lot better than it was at times... Credible as a credible World champion? 'Cmon. Oh, and there wasn't meaning behind everything. There was a lot of undercard filler tossed in on every show including PPVs. Granted, the filler was better than what's currently being offered as filler, which I think is a lot of the reason everyone remembers it so fondly. Anyway, I don't wanna go on a huge rant on this board, but what I meant was that WSX kept me entertained, much like ECW did. The wrestlers for the most part were busting their butts out there like they did in ECW. I thought it was a better TV show than ECW has been as of late, that's all. And I know that's all that WSX is... a TV show, not a promotion.

I don't think WSX is crap. The explosions were cheesy, but other than that it was a fun show.

Incidentally, I highly doubt WSX will win the 2007 Gooker. It's already getting polarizing reviews, while Gooker winners are almost universally hated. Hell, even the new ECW couldn't win the 2006 Gooker despite the abortion known as December to Dismember.
I think we'll see only WWE and TNA nominations this year.

My view of the Gooker Award is that it should go to something so stupid, so mind-numbingly idiotic, something that makes us desperately wish that we could get back the time we wasted on it, something that is a genuine black eye on the industry (ala David Arquette, the Invasion, the Diva Search, etc.).
BTW, I didn't vote for the Eddiesploitation for this year's ballot. Another characteristic of the Gooker Award is (in my opinion) is something that we can laugh about later--and I highly doubt we will ever laugh about Eddiespoitation.

I don't agree that the Gooker has to be funny. It's the worst angle or gimmick of the year, whether it's funny or not is irrelevent. And I DID vote for Eddieploitation, because it was the worst angle of the year.

All of which described WSX in a nutshell. Thanks for making it easy on the voters. Not really. The Gooker is determined by consensus, not one person's opinion. Right now we're in the stage where posters are trying to convince other posters that their opinions are facts. Essentially they want others to feel the same way they do--whether they love or hate the product. I'm certainly not denying that the promotion has the POTENTIAL to be crap, but I don't see the venom that was spewed forth (and rightly so) when the first ECW episode aired. Ditto the awful "ECW" PPV. Hell, most of the complaints were over the cheesy explosions, not the wrestling itself. In any case, I don't see it winning the Gooker. The new ECW will win before WSX does. Bank on it.

WSX should definatley be on the ballot for Gooker 2007. But I doubt it will win.

Just saw the first ep[isode on you tube. I thoink their show is too short at 30 minutes, two matches just doesn't do it for me. I thought th WWE owns the right to the Justin Credible name as well.
Its not wrestlecrap as a whole, though the explosions reeks of limburger like the Goldust electricution angle.
