Matches featuring West Coast Announced for Pro Wrestling Pilot.
Quote:
The MTV-Big Vision Entertainment professional wrestling pilot that will be filmed on 2/9 in Los Angeles, California is slated to feature Sean Waltman, Teddy Hart, Jack Evans, New Jack, Vampiro, PJ Polaco (formerly Justin Credible), and Matt Sydal.
The as of yet unnamed promotion is currently seeking an announcer and have taken out solicitations in several West Coast outlets, including Craigslist.org seeking potential applicants. The solicitation noted the pilot is "Looking for a hip and trendy “MTV style” commentator that can grab hold of the action. Should be 20-30, quick on his/her feet and very attractive. Knowledgeable in Wrestling. Sports commentary or News broadcasting experience a plus, high energy a must!"
While the venue for the taping has not yet been announced, tickets to the show will be free but limited to several hundred fans. Big Vision intends to distribute ticket vouchers online via wrestling media outlets (including PWInsider.com) with a certain amount of "guaranteed" tickets and a larger amount of first come, first serve general admission tickets.
According to one source, the taping will feature a very "MTV-esque" product meshing what was described to me as a reality-based product that would be fueled by music and produced as "something completely different" in comparison to WWE and TNA. MTV is working hand in hand with Big Vision on the development of the pilot and I am told that the booking has already mapped out, approved by MTV, and is set in stone.
