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.

The tapings were booked by head writer Kevin Kleinrock, Cody Michaels and Vampiro – all formerly of Xtreme Pro Wrestling.

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.

On November 11, 2006 (aired February 6, 2007), Vampiro defeated 6-Pac with a Tombstone Piledriver inside an exploding coffin to become the first WSX Champion.

[4] Rick Banderas defeated Vampiro on November 15, 2006 (aired March 14, 2007) with a Chokeslam into an exploding coffin wrapped in barbed wire to win the WSX Championship.

MTV discontinued preview airings beginning with the third episode in hopes of maximizing ratings for the Tuesday broadcasts.

Also on the DVD was content already recorded for the second season, including a WSX Championship scaffold match between Ricky Banderas and Youth Suicide and footage from a feud between Nic Grimes and Mickie Knuckles.
