WSX episode 1 on youtube.

[Deleted]

Is Youth Suicide even a wrestler or a stuntman they hired to take ridiculous bumps.

Considering it was the first episode, it wasn't bad. When you think of how screwed up the first TNA PPV was and first episode of WWECW.

Hopefully if there's another season, they'll tone down on all the cheesy stuff and let things play out more slowly.

[kkliq]

Well, they did say he was trained by Supreme...

[wrath]

YAY! Justin Credible. I mark for him. Very underrated. And with his old theme.

MY Teddy Hart, clearly the greatest seller of our day and age.

Hm. I always liked Vampiro.

Ok, REALLY, it's not as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be. I mean, you aren't going to find any four star matches. Just a half an hour of flashy moves. Something different. Fun for what it is.

And wha about the New Jack comment? Dood was always SUPER over in ECW.

[tommyvercetti]

It was alright for what it was.

Which was wrestling put on by people who dont know a whole lot about wrestling.

[odanobunaga]

Who is that singer that become the commentor?

Whenever he opens his mouth something that has nothing to do with what is happening comes out.

WSX wasn't "bad", but it's NOT wrestling. It's more a stuntman competition...
How long before the novelty effect dies? They already overdid the action in the premiere... how'll they go on for the whole season?

They'll gradually blow up more of the arena until they knock the whole thing down in the season finale because Waltman didn't know which wire to cut because he was distracted by uh...Good Charlotte's wailing.

What I meant by the New Jack comment was that they can't really trust him because it's only a matter of time before he does something stupid outside of the ring. Basically, they gotta ride the gravy train while they can.

[Doctor Tull-eus S. Venture]

Is it just me, or has Vampiro really put on some weight?

He just looked rather doughy in this match. Not as blown up as Raven, but still.

And it looks like 80% of the production values go into making the explosions and lightshows for the electricution effects look crazy.

[metalmike]

Must sya that was fantatsic. Granted, it wasnt tech wrestling at its best but to say all it is is 20 minutes of fun action, it was definatly that.

[W?Y]

I'll say this: It was ENTERTAINING. That doesn't mean it was necessarily expert wrestling or great psychology or anything, but it held my attention. I figure that if WWE can do away with wrestling their own way, then let MTV do it their way.

I say:

WSX > WWECW
ROH/CZW >>>>WSX
TNA = WSX

EDIT: MTV, it's a 630 SENTON, not a splash.

is this the show that you have to be "good looking" to be in the audience?

[TRMcGillicutty]

If it is...I didn't see any.

New Jack only did that one show anyway, he wont be apearing again in the already taped season.

[DownWithGravity]

Yeah, that's another bad thing about the pilot. In addition to there being nothing but spots that aren't sold...there are no feuds to build on. No promos, no personalities...the only "personality" of the bunch is New Jack, and you wouldn't know it from watching the show. And he's not even going to be around.

WSX = thumbs down.

[T Vang is a HO-DADDY~!]

The ring announcer is possibly the single most f***ing annoying guy on the planet

heh, heh. when Vampiro hit the ring that guest announcer guy from the band remarked on how big the guy was. As if he was some 6'5'' WWe monstrosity. Nah Vampiro has simply been hittig the buffet bar a bit more often these days.

I hate taped wrestling shows on TV nowadays. WSX reminds me of UWA and WOW in that it doesn't show a match in its entirety. Just the entrance, high spots and the finish. Everything seems so rushed. Give the viewer time to breathe and soak in the highlights of the past match. Give us some down time w/ interviews, recaps, etc. Instead everything is just thrown at you.

Thanks to the initial poster who posted the link and I know when someone throws you a bone you don't want to know how it tastes but modern taped wrestling shows like WSX make me want to pop in an old tape of WCCW episodes.

[skskillz]

Wrestling is officially dead.

I watched the first few minutes and was too embarrassed to continue.

Is this what wrestling has become? Meaningless spotfests that look completely fake?

Good grief.

I hate the WWE, but it looks fantastic compared to that.

Agreed. I didn't know that was Jack's only show. Considering he's the only one of the bunch who even HAD a reaction, season's not looking good. I'm probably only going to watch when Tornado's on.

[Bub (BLM)]

That one commentator trying to act like a hardass pissed me off.

Oh yeah, and Jack Evans is a douche.
