PWInsider.com is citing a MTV network source in reporting that Wrestling Society X was pulled from the network’s lineup.
The network reportedly made the call to pull the show Wednesday; the most recent airing of the show posted a low 0.6 rating.
Wrestling Society X, which combined fast-paced wrestling action with music, was promoted as an alternative to WWE and TNA programming. After showing some ratings promise in its debut, its numbers quickly declined, bottoming out at a 0.5 for the penultimate airing.
MTV will definitely not renew the series, but it could potentially air the remaining episodes at a later date. No details have been announced regarding any such plans.

I'm actually kind of dissapointed in this. I was getting to like WSX as it gave me a chance to see guys I wouldn't normally get to watch (Vampiro, Teddy Hart, ect...). I thought it relied a little to much on the explosions and such, but I watch Japanees death matches, so that really wasn't a problem. It wasn't sloppy in ring work, it had decent workers, and I think that it drew any kind of rating on a station dedicated to teen-beat shows and dating drama (yet is still called "Music" Television...) should have been seen as a good thing. Ah well. Alas poor WSX, we hardly knew ye.

I thought it was an ok show. I think they should have had at least an hour.

I got to see this programme tonight (and on April fool's day) for the 1st time ever on MTV . It was the one where there was a 10 man battle royal for 2 contracts (for WSX title match) . I just loved it , shades of the old XPW .

Maybe they'll release it on DVD in the future.
It'd be worth checking out.

It was stupid to think a half hour would be long enough to develop the characters. Ok, let's be realistic, with commercials and the opening music we're talking like maybe 15 minutes. 15 minutes to develop characters and try and get people interested. Whoever pitched this idea to MTV should be fired.
