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 take part in a full season if the show was picked up by
MTV.
Delirious did not wrestle at the taping, despite originally being scheduled to. This was due to his refusal to sign the agreement, as it would have prevented him from working for
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. On July 8, 2006, MTV commissioned the promotion to produce a full season of episodes for their network, and WSX taped its first season of shows between November 11 and November 16, 2006, in Los Angeles, California. The tapings were booked by head writer Kevin Kleinrock,
Cody Michaels and
Vampiro – all formerly of
Xtreme Pro Wrestling. The series premiered January 30, 2007, on MTV. It originally aired Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m.
ET, to compete with the second half of
World Wrestling Entertainment's
ECW on Sci Fi program. The
WSX Championship was the only title featured and defended on the program, but announcer Kris Kloss hinted (towards the end of the series) at the arrival of the WSX Tag Team Championship, which would've been defended in
tag team matches during future seasons. Additionally, on the unaired season finale, the creation of an
X Division-style title was announced for the show's second season. The fourth episode of the series was pulled by MTV after a
spot featuring
Ricky Banderas throwing a
fireball at Vampiro was deemed unairable by the network, but the episode would later air in edited form on February 27, 2007. On February 28, 2007, it was announced that
WSX had been canceled by MTV. A marathon of new episodes, consisting of episodes 5–9, aired on March 13 and 14, 2007, with MTV later announcing that the marathon had served as the season finale of
WSX.
WSX was quietly removed from its scheduled MTV slot on March 20 and reruns were pulled from air. A tenth episode which was set to be the original season finale never aired on television but was later released on the
Wrestling Society X: The Complete First (and Last) Season DVD. In the summer of 2007, all WSX wrestlers were released from their contracts and the promotion became inactive. ==Roster==
