Whats the buzz on this.....Saw a promo on mtv for it.....Did it begin? If so what is it like....which known wrestlers are involved....From what I briefly saw , it seemed to be closer to the original ecw then the new ecw (the lighting and ring set up)....But curious as to why mtv is doing this and what is the long term outlook of this.
(I know this really isnt wwe related but this forum seems to have the greatest # of posters so I figured it would get more discussion in here)

I hear there'll be a special premiere tonight at 11 p.m. The official premiere is Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. It's supposed to feature indy wrestlers like Matt Sydall, Colt Cabana (in a mask, I think), and even New Jack. There's some really wacky hardcore gimmick matches like electrified fences and such. And it's supposed to feature rock music during the matches.
I think they've already taped a full season's worth of shows. So, it wouldn't be on every single week like WWE. I don't know what they're other long-term plans are.

I think it will be a heavily produced show trying to look unproduced, and they only let people with the right "look" into the crowd, etc... Its not ECW-ish at all, IMO. From what we know at this point, anyway. I could be wrong.

I hope it succeeds. They're not trying to insist on how much better they are than WWE like TNA does every five minutes, which would already be a breath of fresh air.

Well, MTV sucks, and they're employing New Jack. MTV+New Jack=Recipe for disaster.

ok found a website for this wsx.mtv.com............this actually looks pretty cool, check out the match they had on the debut show.......Lets see on the first "new ecw", they debut with a crappy battleroyal and a zombie.....Meanwhile on wsx, they have a battle royal match, lbut not just your typical wwe battle royal, check this out:
surrounded by electric wires, THE WSX RUMBLE. 10 MEN. 2 CONTRACTS. AND 1 RING surrounded by TABLES, LIVE ELECTIRC WIRES, and an 18-foot section of EXPLODING STEEL CAGE! 10 brave warriors enter, but only 2 will survive and be able to capture the contracts suspended 15 feet above the ring allowing them to face off next week in a match where the victor will be crowned the first EVER WSX Champion
WOW. This sounds awesome.....Im hooked and havent even watched yet.

Matt Sydal, Colt Cabana as Matt Classic, Joey Evans of PWG fame, Jack Evans (and you know this...man), and Sean Waltman are the names I immediately recall. I won't be watching, but it sounds promising.

It's not marketing itself as anything other than a fun spotfest, unlike TNA..eheh this is actual NON-stop action
