An insider from MTV is claiming that the decision has been made by the network, to cancel the Wrestling Society X series, according to Dave Scherer. The move is believed to have been made earlier today, and was done due to the drop in ratings since its first week.
It is unknown if the six remaining episodes will air on MTV or not. Scherer adds that it's already been stated that the series will be pulled immediately.
Though apparently pulled by MTV, Big Vision Entertainment retains the rights to the promotion, so it is possible that WSX could move the series to a different network or release DVDs, if they decide to continue.
As this news comes from a source from MTV, it is important to remember that at this moment, the network has not made any public indications that WSX is indeed canceled. The series is still listed on the MTV website to air this Tuesday at 10:30PM (Eastern), while clips of WSXtra are still posted as well.

I think you have the wrong information --Lois Curren was named yesterday as the new president of MTV. She, as Executive VP of Development and Programming, was the key person in making the call to put WSX on, so this is considered a major positive as far as the future of the show. She is also going to be in charge of scheduling for the network.

New update on the reported cancellation of 'Wrestling Society X' on MTV
Submitted By James Walsh on 03/01/07
As reported late last night by Martin Hawrysko, it appears MTV has made a final decision to cancel the "Wrestling Society X" series after only four episodes.
PWInsider is reporting that MTV has already removed next week's scheduled airing of Wrestling Society X (which was to be Episode #5) and have replaced it with "High School Stories: Scandals, Pranks, Controversies." MTV's website has also removed WSX from its listing of official series as well. The official website for WSX (WSX.MTV.com) is still currently online.
Declining ratings for WSX was a strong factor in MTV making the decison yesterday to reportedly cancel the series. Here is how the ratings breakdown looked for MTV this past Tuesday (February 28) including WSX: "Bam's Unholy Union" at 8:00pm did a 0.7 rating, "Bam's Unholy Union" at 8:30pm did a 0.8 rating, "Road Rules XIV" at 9:00pm did a 0.7 rating, "Bam's Unholy Union" at 9:30pm did a 1.0 rating, "Two-A-Days" at 10:00pm did a 0.9 rating and "Wrestling Society X" at 10:30pm did a 0.6 rating.
WSX losing a third of the audience from its lead-in, "Two-A-Days", did not help its cause after returing from a one week hiatus. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

I actually heard they got another season coming. They'll be put on a different time slot to not go against ECW, but they'll still be around. I'd say this report is bogus until further evidence, considering they just cleared the air about the "fire ball incident". We'll see what develops though. Every promotion has it's shaky beginnings, so I'm not so quick to dismiss this claim.

I'm not really surprised. They need to be a bit more serious about their ideas because some of that stuff is just crazy. Blowing stuff up every week does not make for a good wrestling program. Maybe move it to Wednesdays to have a slot to itself to help ratings.

I have mixed opinions of this program. It was fresh, very original and had some great matches for sure. It also used cheesy and unrealistic gimmicks and had many spot fest matches. I don't want to see it go, but I also want them to start booking more realistic matches.

Well, it's MTV, so nothing is for sure. They don't cancel shows, just change their time slot.

This was a horrible show anyway. Better to send these guys to WWE, WWE developmental or TNA where they can make a difference.
How about Teddy Hart going to WWE to team w/ Harry Smith?
