WSX why bother?

[MysteryPartner]

I've watched WSX because it's wrestling, but does anyone realize that these episodes were recorded like over a year ago? WSX doesn't even exist, most of the wrestlers aren't even signed with it anymore. I don't see any reason to get all excited over it. Besides that I sweat that the clapping and cheering is piped in, it sounds like the crowd is going wild and when you look at them they are all standing still. Plus the ring announcer is pathetic, he can't stand still in the ring. One of the commentators makes Mike Tenay look good. The explosions are definatly fake or at least exaggerated. So I end this rant with "WSX is a joke, why bother?" any comments..

Why bother? It is an alternative to WWE, which has to count for something (TNA certainly isn't, esp. with RUsso rehashing all his old stuff).

[MysteryPartner]

its not really an alternative though is it? cuz after this season then what?

[Matt Rogers]

Because it's a half hour of pure fun, and fun's what wrestling is really all about.

[AriadosMan]

Its an alternative while its on (and lets hope it actually does well enough to get a second season).
Unfortunately, the ratings aren't great

[MysteryPartner]

yeah it is pretty funny I'll give it that, but funny for the wrong reasons

Dude, we have vastly different interpretations of what "Fun wrestling" is.

Fair enough, but what I mean is that fun is all it's intended to be. It's not trying to be anything else, it's pure entertainment.

Okay, see that I follow, and you're right, it's pure entertainment. It's certainly not anything approaching professional wrestling.

I don't hate it. I would still watch it, but I have to DVR my shows and when it comes between the Alpha Male or the Human Tornado, I'm sorry I gotta go with Marcus Cor Von .

[xombiehiphop]

It really is just goofy fun. I think a lot of people take it far too seriously. It's really not the next anti-Christ.

[MysteryPartner]

I just think it's pointless to get too much into or even think that it competes with WWE or TNA.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, they're right up there with TNA in the ratings, so I don't see why not.

[leemir]

I'm all for more big promotion so that more guys can get a good paycheck.

[MysteryPartner]

because they aren't current like TNA.. tna has ppvs.. tna has a six sided ring... tna has bobby roode

WSX has Youth Suicide, WSX has pair gymnastics exhibitions. WSX just plain sucks. At least TNA is entertaining about half the time.

Because they have pretty good wrestlers on their product who are getting time to be shown on a national level.

It's more pro wrestling.

[erisi236]

WSX has 100% more explosions then TNA.

And a Disco Ball.

[MysteryPartner]

does anyone else agree that the crowd clapping is piped in? I even heard that MTV had to choose a specific audience they had to be "good looking" to be on WSX.
