Movie Reviews of Wrestling Society X: The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Amazing! I "get it!" You should too!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care what any so-called wrestling "purists" have to say, I "get it." I used to watch WWF as a child during the 80's with Hogan, Flair, Shawn Michaels, Macho Man. I watched in the 90's as guys like Austin, Rock, Helmsley, etc started to come up. So I'd like to think I know my wrestling like a wine taster knows his wine.
When I hit high school in the mid to late 90's I was blown away by the first revolution in pro wrestling: ECW. Why am I bringing this up?
If you can relate to me at all, if you were captivated by ECW, if you remember the way you felt the first time you saw it... That feeling that you were seeing something with pro wrestling you had never seen or felt before... The great technical wrestling, the high-flying action, the hardcore violence, seeing future stars in their prime honing their skills...
My friend, WSX is the new revolution in pro wrestling for the next generation. I bought this DVD set solely based on weighing the pros and cons of what I heard about it on the internet (and a few clips on YouTube).
I am blown away.
I haven't watched pro wrestling in 4 years and haven't missed it. WWE? No thanks. TNA? Meh. The last time I gave pro-wrestling a try was when McMahon resurrected ECW. It didn't take long to realize he was going to destroy that like everything else his senile *** has gotten his hands on.
WSX is everything that the others are not. It is loud, in-your-face, alternative. Just like Heyman's vision was for the original ECW.
I watched some XPW, even own some of their DVDs. It is what it was: An attempt at continuing what ECW started. Sure it had its detractors and, let's be honest, it had its flaws. But there was some talent there.
WSX is so much more. Imagine taking the best of XPW, the remnants of ECW that Vince didn't buy or TNA didn't scoop up. Imagine the idea of old-school ECW mixed with the production values of WWF. Sound strange? It is. But it is awesome. And it is so much more.
I saw a reviewer say "It was cool until the coffin "exploded" and the screen shook and blah, blah, blah. It looked fake." Um, faker than Vince "dying" in an exploding limosine? Give me a break. Yes, the explosion was produced and obviously rigged. Who cares? This is pro wrestling. The whole ****ing thing is scripted!
But unlike WWF, WSX scripts and books in a way that is fresh and exciting. Yeah some if it is gimmicky but again, give me a break. Gimmicks go hand in hand with the business.
I don't even know if anyone will find this review helpful, but frankly, I can't stop raving about this DVD. I watched it with my wife who appreciates pro wrestling as an art form (she's a modern dancer who used to do ballet) but let's just say it's not her preference of entertainment.
She couldn't take her eyes off it. I stood up and clapped. Do you know the last time I stood up and clapped for a wrestling show? It was ECW Cyberslam '99!
You want fast paced action? Check. You want high-flying? Check? You want over-the-top looking spots? Check. You don't want to be bored by the same old crap? Check, check, and check.
I'm sorry but if you truly love the art of pro wrestling, you need to forget about Cena vs. The Miz on Monday or Sting and Booker on TNA or whatever people who want to watch pro wrestling on TV watch.
You need to open your mind to the New Revolution. ECW did it once, WSX did it again. I don't know why this great product flew under the radar (including mine) when it premeired but please, please, please do *not* miss a chance to experience it.
If you don't like it, fine, some people just won't. Even ECW had it's detractors during the First Revolution. But you are seriously robbing yourself if you don't even give it a try, even a rental.
My hat is off to Big Vision and everyone involved with this project. Even Kris Kloss, and that guy used to iritate the **** out of me in XPW. You gotta hear how much he has matured professionally as a wrestling play-by-play guy. He doesn't even sound like the same guy. He was a pleasant surprise, like the rest of this package.
Do yourself a favor and check this out already.
