If they put the first season on DVD before it fades into obscurity, I'll probably be a happy man. Well, after I actually see the first season, we'll see. They've got Colt Cabana! Matt Classic! Even if you didn't like the first episode, hope is not lost, people! PS check the sig, folks. Who are you, and what have you done with the real DSR? What? I'm not allowed to have a differing opinion from you? It was a fun show. Maybe not the best or most important wrestling show ever, but fun.

They need to treat it like a more spontaneous show.
That thing had more cut and edits than Matrix Revolutions. I liked the action, although the editing made me feel like I was watching highlights of the past year.
And the audience needs to be real. Not a bunch of people who were paid to be part of a show and were taught to act like this is all amazing. Overreacting to every move doesn't make the action seem better, it makes the audience look like they weren't there to see wrestling.
And yes, the non-wrestling aspects (hosts, announcers) all need serious revamping before this becomes a contender. Same deal as the crowd, dont be excited FOR me, you do your job and let ME decide when it's exciting. These guys are wrestling's answer to the "applause" sign.
I know Joey Styles, I've watched Joey Styles.. You are no Joey Styles.

I really liked the Matt Sydal-Jack Evans match, that was a lot of fun! That ring announcer is HORRIBLE, someone stuff him in a dark basement and never let him out!! That announce crew made me tolerate Kris Kloss, and I HATE Kris Kloss, so what does that say about their announce team? I like the little hometown/titles/move screen when someone comes out. Makes sure you know who everybody is. New Jack jumped off a balcony, so yay! The battle royal/ladder match was alright I guess. But were we seeing some of the deleted scenes from the Marine? One explosion would have been plenty without over doing it. And damnit! you tease me with Jesus backstage and you only give us that XPW reject Kaos!! BOOOOOOOOO! Oh, and LOL @ Puma! You earned your pay check buddy Overall, fun little show, fun spotfests, definatly something different. Thats always good. Plus there is the promise of Human Tornado, Colt "Matt Classic" Cabana, more Vampiro, more 6 Pac(I mark for Mr. Waltman, sue me), and maybe Credible returns at some point down the line now that hes out at WWE(considering they get more than one season).

By the way, I thought it was awesome. It was completely different than any wrestling show Ive ever seen, and its nice to see something new for once.
And yes, the ring announcer needs to chill.

In my humble oppinion. It is teetering on that very thin line between being exciting and edgy and being Wrestlecrap. Think about it. You cant have your wrestlers electrified, blown up, and eaten by piranas and expect them to be recuring characters. The WWE usually does stuff like that to kill a character off.
Other than that, it has great action and a lot of excitement.

They have the talent but I'm afraid they might try to do the crazy spots too much. If they presented it as simply wrestling it could be pretty cool.

I'd really like to hear what a typical "MTV audience" thought of it. I'm going to assume "WTF"

it wasn't bad. looked a lil bit like it was filmed at an mtv dance party warehouse while somehow having an x.p.w./ w.o.w. feel to it. youth suicide wrestles like his trainer.... not very well. i'd like for it to do good but only if the set changes (which won't be till next season if there is one). also zack wylde... wild (?) should do commentary more often... just teach him terms first.

I'll say this, for a 30 minute show it had a ton of action. I doubt we will see a ton of character development with such little time each week, but I'm ok with that too. Yes I will agree that the ring announcer is annoying, but since this was the pilot, maybe he won't be there next week, we can only pray. When I originally heard about the show, I thought it was going to have a longer musical performance, and it didn't, which was a good thing. Unfortunitly I don't know who won the final contract cause Tivo cut it off cause MTV likes to end shows late cause the previous show didn't end at the time it was supposed to, damn u mtv!!! I'll give the show another chance, I can think of worse things to do with 30 minutes. I mean I need to see more of Lizzy Valentine!!!! Come on, where is the Lizzy Valentine love?

It was a big ball of delightful fun. Maybe even the Plan 9 From Outer Space of wrestling. Will have to see more of this, because I'm addicted to it, like a hobo to stink.

I thought it was pretty cool. It was a little edgier, and the box of electric wire was a joke (anyone notice the ref right up on the wire after the first guy landed on the deadly wire?) but I liked it. I had never seen Matt Sydal in action before, and I must say that the first match was sweet.
I'll take that over My Super Sweet 16 any day.

The camera work ruined it for me. I think they changed angles every 3 seconds and it seemed like they didn't really focus on the wrestlers. It seemed like big budget XPW.

the sydal/evans match was ruined by the bitch in the sweater. Still good though. And sure the main event was a huge clusterf*** but I was sort of expecting that.
I will watch it again, it was all over the place. I appreciate the ring announcers enthusiasm, but sit the f*** down buddy.
