This article documents a current event.
Wrestling Society X (WSX) is a professional wrestling promotion created in 2006 by Kevin Kleinrock and Houston Curtis.
Its weekly television series, Wrestling Society X, currently airs on MTV. Wrestling Society X will air on MTV UK beginning in April 2007.
An additional program called WSXtra is posted each week on the promotion's website, featuring WSX matches and interviews not broadcast on television.
Prior episodes of both Wrestling Society X and WSXtra are available through video on demand.[1]
Format
WSX is presented as a secret society of wrestling that utilizes a venue referred to as the WSX Bunker for its rituals. In matches held within this venue, falls count anywhere. Along with wrestling, WSX features musical guests playing at the start of each television broadcast, with band members joining announcers Kris Kloss and Bret Ernst on commentary.
[edit] History
The WSX pilot was taped on February 10, 2006 in Los Angeles, California, and all wrestlers present were forced to sign an agreement stating that they would participate in a full season if the show was picked up by MTV. Delirious refused to sign the agreement, as it would have prevented him from working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Because of this, he was not used at the taping.[2]
On July 8, 2006, MTV commissioned the promotion to produce a full season of episodes for their network. WSX taped its first season of shows between November 11th and November 16, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. The tapings were booked by head writer Kevin Kleinrock, Cody Michaels and Vampiro.
The series premiered January 30, 2007 on MTV. It originally aired Tuesdays at 10:30 pm ET, competing with the second half of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
The fourth episode of the series was pulled by MTV after a stunt featuring Ricky Banderas throwing a fireball at Vampiro was deemed unairable by the network.[3] The episode aired in edited form on February 27, 2007.[4]
Houston Curtis of Big Vision Entertainment stated on March 2, 2007 that Wrestling Society X had been pulled from MTV.[5] However, a marathon of five new episodes aired on March 13, 2007. The season finale has yet to air, and was quietly removed from airing on March 20 on MTV.[6]
The promotion currently has no plans to tour.

Yes, because of ratings. I say good riddance, it was a pre-taped and edited spotfest that did nothing good for anyone in it...aside from Teddy Hart, who is probably making a bee line for WWE as I type this

No ratings was not a problem, it was canceled because it was to "violent" can you say the new ECW?
