Not much in terms of storytelling, but it was a fun watch. Sydal and Jack did their thing. The battle royale was a bit of a cluster, but that was expected. I enjoyed it for what it was.

If they had more than 30 minutes this could be a good show. With 30 minutes you don´t have much time to breath, specially in that Battle Royal. People entered, recived some spots, and that´s it.
The Matt vs. Jack match was great. They had some story going, it wasn´t just spots. If it where longer, it would be so much better.

Also if they didn't treat it like a waxing TV series and give us PREVIEWS of the footage of matches of next week, it'd be better too. TNA tapes 2 weeks in advance but they never give us advance footage now do they? Especially bad on MTV's part given that they're showing probably 1/8 the total wrestling time in those previews, and of course cap it off with their pre-requisite "bigger fake camera shaking explosion than last week"

You are a gentleman and a scholar, Doomrider. Thank you, I have it loading as I type. I am unlikely to get to see much of WSX so I will be relying upon the youtube I suspect.

Ok, WSX premiere was decently entertaining for what it was, for US WRESTLING FANS (and most of us liked it for all the wrong reasons anyway), but how does the show look to an "untrained" eye?
We can safely assume most of the MTV audience have little clue about wrestling (and I mean WWE wrestling...), so WSX is more or less reinforcing the stereotype of wrestleing being a fake, carnivalesque form of entertaining for simpletons... Basically a modern day freak show.
I'm aware that 20 minutes are too little to put on a decent match, so the "spotfest" approach is the only one possible, but an "X-Division spotfest" approach would have been better... The opening match was ok for a 4 minutes bout...
The C-movies effects, good Lord, was that crap necessary? Will it sell the show?

I marked for Justin Credible and Jesus, but other than that it was a mess.
