DEBUT RATING FOR MTV WRESTLING SOCIETY X & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2007-01-31 17:20:00

The debut of MTV's Wrestling Society X last night scored a 1.0 rating. I haven't yet heard the audience share. That's a really impressive debut rating, especially considering it was running up against the second half of ECW on SciFi (which usually does around 1.5).

In my opinion, WSX should send Vince McMahon flowers because the way he trash talked the original ECW and its fans likely only helped WSX's cause, specificially since it featured several former ECW regulars, tables, ladders, crazy highspots, explosions, etc., all things that would in theory attract former ECW fans that WWE doesn't provide for with their "revitalized" version of the company.

Jack Evans will be appearing tonight to discuss WSX on www.InYourHeadOnline.com.

The first edition of WSXtra is online now at www.WSX.MTV.com. Our own Richard Trionfo has his report up here on the main page of PWInsider.com.

KT sent the following....Just noticed that you can watch the first full show of wrestling society x on mtv in canada at mtv.ca at http://www.mtv.ca/overdrive/?name=features&id=1550387.  They seem to put a lot of stuff on their web site because their tv licence doesn't allow them to air concerts, music videos and probably sports/wrestling.  There is also a bonus match Human Tornado vs.Puma vs. Luke Hawks at http://www.mtv.ca/overdrive/?name=features&id=1550384.
