They blatantly made references to every wrestling organization under the sun, including WWE owned material. They even called them the WWF. I thought it was really smart to acknowledge the other feds as it instantly makes your fed seem legit, having all of these other wrestlers who competed in the "big leagues" and getting some of the rub from them.
I easily heard about 5 or 6 references to the WWF, and 6-Pac is really really close to syxx pac. I'm not sure, but can they get sued for any of that?

I was actually wondering this myself, simply for the DX and WWE references.

I don't think they can get sued unless they
A) Insult one of the companies they mentioned
or
B) It infringes on a copyright.
Syxx-Pac/6-Pac isn't really owned by anyone, so he can use it.

I saw on the website that they have Justin Credible on the roster. I thought he had to change his name because WWE owned it?

Only thing that bothers me is the Justin Credible thing

This was filmed before Justin Credible went to WWE, so it's understandable that he's still JC. Might change to something else if he continues working for them. Also, WSX might be small enough to not have WWE legal sue them.

They cannot be sued for stating common knowledge unless it used in a degrading way. As long as they don't show the WWE or WWF logo then they are safe with that to. The deal with Credible I am not sure about but, 6 Pac said in an interview that he owns "6 Pac" and that WCW trademarked Syxx Pack for some reason.

Be aware that the only word really applicable there in that last sentence is "crappy", unless the poster means "special" in the Eugene sense, in which case, that's dead on, too.

I was thinking the same thing, and the fact they said WWF really shocked me. Just a tidbit, they called x-pac one of the original members of DX I had a laugh at that

WSX will not be sued I don't think, since CHIKARA makes references to other promotions or wrestlers (there are occasionally WWE references dropped, especially given that Dr. Cheung is a John Cena fan and has used his music at least once for an entrance along with Darkness Crabtree).
However, WSX is on TV so it may be different.
