-We are back for week #2 of WSX! Yeah, I guess I will be doing this for a while. I am a workaholic, what can I say? For those wondering, I will not be recapping the WSXtra from their website. I do NOT have time for lucha, so I do NOT have time for that. If someone wants to recap that and send it along to me, you may have found a job. Anyway, let’s get to episode #2.

-3-6 Mafia is our musical guests. They start off the show.

-We get highlights of last week’s show and what brought us to the WSX Title match.

-3-6 Mafia guys join the announce team.

-Krazy Kalin welcomes us t the show via the ring. There is a crawl across the bottom of the screen, don’t try this at home kids.

The Human FN Tornado vs. “The Southern Stomper” Luke Hawk

Like Hawk is better known to Indy fans as “Alter Boy Luke.” And if you do not know the Human FN Tornado, you are missing out.

Test of strength and Tornado dances him off. Off the ropes and a LOW BLOW by Hawk, but Tornado has balls of steel and shake sit off. He eats a T BONE by Hawk and that gets a cover for 2. Forearms by Hawk, Irish whip and Tornado gets a RANA and Hawk to the floor. Baseball slide by Tornado. CRAZY FN PLANCHA over the railing to Hawk! Back into the ring and Hawk gets a spin kick, weird edit there as Hawk was magically standing. Tornado battles back, SICK Tornado DDT by Tornado and that is all.

Winner: The Human FN Tornado @ 1:56 via pin

Aaron Agulara hits the ring as does Al Katrazz and they brawl. Kaos is there and he has a ladder. Kaos sets up a table in the ring as the former Jesus cleans house. Luke kicks Kaos through a table. Al Katrazz and Luke walk as Agulara looks on pissed.

Spotty match with weird edits again. The editing so far in the series is hurting things as they look like they are made by high school drama students.

-Back from commercial and we get a promo from Matt Cross and Teddy Hart. They are the Filth and the Fury, the best tag team in WSX. They challenge anyone to a match.

Team Dragon Gate (Masato Yoshino and Genki Horiguchi) vs. That 70’s Team (Joey “Magnum” Ryan and The Disco Machine)

Horiguchi and Ryan to begin. Lock up and some reversals. Arm bar by Horiguchi. Reversal, kip up and Horiguchi into the arm bar. Side headlock take down, tag to Yoshi and Disco in. Yoshi tosses him and poses. Ryan back in and Yoshi sidesteps a dropkick and Ryan asks for his inhaler. He tags Disco and everyone in, Dragon Gate double teams him with a drop toehold and dropkick and gets a cover for 2. Off the ropes ad Horiguchi eats an elbow drop after Disco dances. Ryan back in now and Yoshi PANTS’ him on a sunset flip try. Yoshi gets a cover for 2. Horiguchi with a PLANCHA onto Disco. THAT SUPER 70’s KICK by Ryan on Horiguchi and that is all.

Winners: That 70s Team @ 2:40 via pin

After the match Horiguchi destroys the disco ball.

Fun for what it was. It was like a really fun 10-minute tag clipped to about 3. Good to see the Dragon gate and the PWG guys though.

-Back from commercial and White Trash Johnny Webb cuts a promo. He drinks and sits at a trailer park. His boys are a tag team, the Trailer Park Boys. They fight among themselves. They debut on WSExtra and next week they will face the Filth and the Fury.

WSX TITLE MATCH: Vampiro vs. 6-Pac

The title belt resembles the Austin Smoking Skull Belt. Vampiro brought a casket to ringside. I bet it explodes.

Pac spits on Vampiro and gets a spinkick. Chops and an Irish whip try, Vampiro holds on and head butts Pac. Clothesline and a cover for 2. Off the ropes and a PANA try gets turned into a powerbomb by Pac for 2. Vampiro to the corner, and Pac tries the broncobuster and connects. Tries another, GOOZLE by Vampiro, kick by Pac but a clothesline by Vampiro. GOOZLE…CHOKESLAM on Pac! Vampiro up top…CORKSCREW MOONSAULT misses! Dropkick by Pac and Vampiro to the floor. Pac charges and gets a plancha on Vampiro. He covers on the floor and gets 2, apparently that is legal. Pac sends Vampiro through a steel barrier. Vampiro then tosses Pac into the steel post. Vampiro now sets up a table. Clothesline by Pac turns Vampiro inside out. Pac sets Vampiro onto the table, Vampiro up now and Pac gets a Tornado DDT from the apron through the table for a CLOSE 2 count. Back into the ring and kick and the Pac factor on Vampiro. 1…2…NO! TO the apron and they fight near the casket. LOW BLOW by Vampiro. TOMBSTONE INTO THE EXPLODING CASKET~! 1…2…3!

Winner: and FIRST EVER WSX CHAMPION Vampiro @ 4:40 via pin

Well that was something. Pac and Vampiro seem to work well together so it was at least fun. Nothing that will go down as a classic, but fine for the time allowed and we got EXPLOSIONS!

-We get clips of what will happen next week, and a TLC match will happen!

The Tremendous Tirade: Episode II is in the books. We got to see the debut of one of the coolest dudes around in the Human FN Tornado, so that ruled. We were treated to the Dragon Gate guys, who had a fine albeit short match with the 70’s team and got the first ever WSX champion. They are managing to fit just about the same amount of wrestling on the show as TNA, which should be a message to TNA that they are dropping the ball there. As far as the difference, they are doing that. They are putting on the chaotic style that WWE would never dream of doing and that TNA will do, but make you pay for. There is obviously an audience for that and they are targeting it well. I still cannot decide if I love or hate this, but I will admit, right now it is different and that makes it pretty fun.

Reader Feedback on Episode I

John Reid writes in with his thoughts –

I am going to give this show a positive, unfortunately knowing MTV’s fickle nature it won’t be on for long. This show and the way the action is constantly moving reminds me of a “crash tv”, almost like a wrestling video game. I don’t believe it’s meant to compete with TNA & WWE, but just to be 30 minutes of a wild ride. In the long run I believe this might be a springboard for some of these wrestlers to make the bigger promotions. I like it, and even though many of these performers are past their prime, I think this will actually be a way to compete with ECW’s lame attempt at extreme matches.

From Paul Dennett –

Considering it was a half hour show it was action packed, spotty action, but action nonetheless. In fact, I’m fairly sure they had more wrestling on show than most episodes of Impact these days (that’s pretty depressing
actually).

Overall I enjoyed the show as it seems intent to fill a niche that the new ECW isn’t filling – decent hardcore action with a unique feel. The whole look of the show was a breath of fresh air, captured the whole feel of chaos perfectly. I actually quite liked the announce team, which is strange as I seem to remember hating Kriss Kloss in XPW. Even the guest announcer from the band was decent with a couple of funny lines.

The important thing is it’s different from the WWE and TNA who seem to be merging with one another every week, and an ‘eclectic’ roster really gives the show the potential to be great.
