History Wrestling / WrestlingSocietyX

** "The Filth and the Fury" was originally meant to be one to the documentary of the same name about the Music/SexPistols, to the point where Teddy Hart's original tag partner in the duo was named Steve Lydon. However, as Lydon (who'd go on to become Wrestling/AdrianNeville) had Visa issues and was replaced by Matt Cross, the ShoutOut ended up being abandoned.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To XPW, as Kevin Kleinrock created both. In turn, Wrestling/LuchaUnderground is one to it, as they share some of the same concepts as well as several roster members.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Matt Cross and Teddy Hart, "The Filth & the Fury".

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Lizzy Valentine, the sole female member of the roster. Well, [[Wrestling/SaraDelRey Nic Grimes]] was female too but the only things ever said about Nic was that Nic was related to Vic Grimes and had a thing for Wrestling/ArikCannon. The whole significance of "Nic" would be completely lost on those not already familiar with her previous "Nikki" gimmick.

!!! "Trope Society X":

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestling_Society_X The Other Wiki]].

** Out of the entire roster of Wrestling Society X, the most successful alumni would be Tyler Black, who would eventually sign with the WWE and become Wrestling/SethRollins, a member of Wrestling/TheShield, one of the most popular wrestling stables of the modern era. After the Shield broke up, he would go on to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
** Ricky Banderas has achieved similar levels of success, but he was already becoming a big name in pro wrestling through IWA Puerto Rico before Wrestling Society X was conceived and had cemented his legacy in Wrestling/{{AAA}} before it had finished. He would also later go on to be a major part of Wrestling/LuchaUnderground as Mil Muertes. A lesser case was Horiguchi, who would do well in Wrestling/DragonGate with his [[BaldOfAwesome Hage]] gimmick.

* TheBeautifulElite: MTV would make sure that attractive and cool looking young people were seen in the front rows of the crowd. Some of them were [[{{Understatement}} probably plants]]. Also Matt Sydal and Lizzy Valentine's gimmick.

* GorgeousGeorge: [[Wrestling/EvanBourne Matt Sydal]], complete with a "valet" to make it ambiguous

* ImpressivePyrotechnics: Every episode opens with flame jets in the ring posts and a lot of explosions added in post. A lot of episodes ended with StuffBlowingUp in spectacular fashion.

All in all, it had the marks of a promotion that had just started to find its voice when it was ScrewedByTheNetwork: MTV took offense at a spot where wrestler Ricky Banderas set opponent Vampiro on fire, and pulled the show from the schedule. The rest of the episodes were quickly burned off in a single night, with the final episode unseen until the DVD release.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To XPW. In turn, Wrestling/LuchaUnderground is one to it.

* StuffBlowingUp: For example, the WSX Championship has twice been won via pinfall in an exploding coffin.
