How can you not be looking forward to this? Sure it looks like a car-crash with some shitty guys, but the gimmicks alone have me sold. They've established more personality for the wrestlers in these 30 second clips alone than TNA has done throughout the entire exisistence of the X-Division...

Yeah, Amen to that. These little "video cards" were awesome, and they obviously have some direction as far as characters.

I frankly can't wait to see this shit.

Tomorrow is some kind of preview. Likely just a preview of the Tuesday debut, as MTV has been doing that with all their shows lately. Someone must've pulled the plug on all of their shitty "dating" shows and forced to fill with some (more) previews and reruns.

So if all the wrestlers' identities are established, does this mean they won't have those WWE-ish inset promos of "My name is ____ and I'm here to teach these punks a lesson"?

One good thing about this: since their only exposure is on MTV, with no PPV build, you should get complete feuds and everything by watching one weekly show. If things work out, I'm sure they'd go to PPV, but initially everything should be contained on the show.

1. How can you not love the Matt Classic promo? I will watch the show just for him, if nothing else.

2. I want to see them go on the challenges with the real world kids. That could be the best TV ever.

OK, I've watched all the promos now, and I've gotta say to this point MTV is getting this thing right. MTV of all people. Some of these are genuinely funny. Not in a WWE way, just genuinely humorous. However, they are still able to present the talent in a good light.

Still, I have no hope for the TV show, but to this point, major props to MTV.

Damnit, I missed what was apparently the only decent match on the show. I came in just as Evans was getting his hand raised.

And that "rumble" was a complete and utter Train Wreck, much like this "promotion" used to be. It'll be the best kind of trainwreck, though, the kind that's fun to watch. CRAZY HIGHSPOTS GALOREEEE!

I just finished watching the pilot and here are my thoughts:

Pros:

They focused on the wrestling and played it very straight faced. Not what I was expecting at all. They treated it more like a wrestling promotion than the WWE has in a decade.
I liked how they brought up a little info card for the wrestlers when they came out.
I could deal with a promotion built around Vampiro.

Cons:

The announcing was beyond completely awful.
None of the matches were anywhere close to acceptable even for tv. Sydal/Evans is getting a little hype but it was little more than a bunch of spots thrown together with no storyline what so ever. Typical east coast indy garbage.
The main event scene as is is completely unacceptable. New Jack, Justin Credible and Sean Waltman all need to go.
