Wrestling Society X Pulled From MTV Schedule
Date Added: February 15, 2007

Currently MTV is experiencing a major shakeup amongst network executive personnel. Whether related to this factor or solely to a decision made by MTV Standards and Practices Department, the station has decided to pull Wrestling Society X's fourth episode from the air next week. In its place will air a program called "Scarred."

It is believed that MTV higher-ups were uncomfortable with a stunt that was scheduled to air on next week's episode involving Rickey Banderas throwing a fireball in the face of WSX champion, Vampiro. They feared that children would try the stunt at home.

Now also coming into question is the future of WSX being aired in a time-slot that goes head-to-head with ECW. Amid the corporate shakeup, Paul DeBenedittis was amongst those let go. DeBenedittis was responsible for placing WSX in the existing time-slot. Time will tell if a move is made. MTV is contracted to show 10 taped Wrestling Society X episodes.

Wrestling Society X is currently scheduled to return on Tuesday 2/27 at 10:30 PM

Yeah if Wrestling Society X goes away that's really too bad. I enjoyed the product. Although it was only a 30 minute show.It was a good alternative. They offered something that most sports entertainment shows forget about which, is PRO WRESTLING !!! Pretty solid in ring action too. The over the top special effects were a bit cheesy and the commentators were GOD AWFUL but, they could have fixed that in the long run. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
