Alright, reading the wall description from the facebook account, here's what it seems like. -It's team based, with points for matches. -4 Teams, with 1 captain each, not sure how many talent on each side. -Teams separated from types. (Octane = Faces, 720 = Spot Monkeys, Dyno = Heels, Defiance = International) -Tag Tournament of some kind, goal is the AAW Cup, no belts. -Points gained during the match somehow. Also, from the comments of one indy, it's a rip off of this: www.territoryleague.com/index.htmlAlso, the page was updated with racing names who support AAW, namely Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Kyle Petty, Hermie Sadler, and Mike Skinner "The Gun Slinger" See, this by itself is a pretty cool idea. I've always wanted to see some sort of team based wrestling promotion, just to see how it would work out and maybe make it seem more like a legit sport. But the goofy gimmicks and the racing aspect put me off a little bit. Guess we'll just wait and see.

It hasn't even started yet and I already mark for All Wheels Wrestling.
I hope it is extra ridiculous.

I'm J.R. Lethal and I'm running laps. Gonna give all my opponents a bunch of slaps. When my motor gets running my boots will squeal Because I'm J.R. Lethal and I'm part of All Wheels!
I'm Awesome Aaron Aguilera and I'm kind of insane! You might even say I go against the grain! I'm gonna beat all my opponents like a bunch of seals! Because I'm Triple A and I'm part of All Wheels!
I'm Schwagg Dutt, that's the name. Flippity Flops are all part of my game. I'll be spinning and twisting overhead those heels Because I'm Schwagg Dutt and I'm part of All Wheels!
I'm Dubai and I hate you all! The U.S. is a mess and it makes me appalled! My teams going to thrash you for once so you see how it feels! I'm Dubai and I'm part of All Wheels!

They really need to have guys crashing in cars somehow.

This looks hilarious, and while I don't even give a shit about Nascar, this is the closest thing I've seen to an ambitious attempt to do something new in a quasi-major US wrestling promotion in years, and that's what TNA needs to be doing a lot more than just giving us a half-assed version of the late '90s.
Hell, I wish WWE would take an actual risk like this instead of just merrily stagnating away.
Of course it'll be idiotic. Pro wrestling as a concept is pretty idiotic. The best we can hope for is that it'll be flamboyantly, entertainingly idiotic, and I can see this pulling it off.
I've been wanting an American version of HUSTLE for the last several years. This might be it!

Anyone notice that in something that seems to be aiming for stereotypical rednecks, none of the captains are white?

I really, really want every match to start with the wrestlers running around the ring making racecar noises.

WHy masks? Are they luchadors now? I just love the fact that they put everyone in hoods (except Dutt, who they apparently shaved and...gave Bowie makeup to), but then give them names that directly call them by their regular gimmicks. Considering that all of these guys (except for Aguillera) have been let go from TNA because creative had nothing for them, I can only imagine how the phone call to recruit them went.

So, released members of the X-Division return under masks to compete in a World X-Cup type tournament?
I guess that means we will see him return soon:

I'm willing to give this a chance.
And I'm pretty critical of TNA/IW.
This is why we should give it a shot:
1. A team-based wrestling promotion is something new and different than what we currently have out there. I complain about IW ripping off WWE...well this is something distinct and different.
2. A cup instead of a title is a cool idea, especially for the team theme
3. Points is something very different. Folks who watch MMA are used to a point-system so this might be easy for them to grasp.
4. Masks. Yes J-Lethal's mask is awful. But wrestlers wearing masks might appeal to lucha libre fans
I say we give it a chance. The first episode will likely only be 30 minutes anyway.

Davari is called what Dubai? Yet his Arab character is unnoticable under the mask.

This show looks so ridiculous that I don‘t have any reason not to be completely psyched out of my mind.

It reminds me of rollerderby in some ways - so I'll give it a shot.
I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I like the ideas of teams. Hopefully the 'wheels' portion of it will be dropped at somepoint.
Unless they're on roller skates or something.

Unless they're on roller skates or something. I want to see them wrestle in a ring set up to look like a different oversized version of a vehicle each week. Kind of like those kids beds that look like a racecar except wrestling ring sized. Have the ring move around some too while the commentators make engine noises.

Couple of notes from some pictures they put on Facebook. It looks like JB and Don West are announcing, there will be an Ultimate X match and, they are using the six sided ring.
