10 Times Wrestling Was Electrifying

8. Wrestling Society X's Ringside Death Traps

WSX wasn't around for long, but boy, did it leave an impression on the psyche and little white flashes in your vision after all the unnecessary explosions.

It's hard to pick just one electrical spot from WSX's quick-and-dirty library. Should we choose that time two wrestlers tumbled over the top rope into a dumpster loaded with electrical wires...that then also exploded? It was a CZW death match wet dream. It was a Wile E. Coyote trap come to life.

Or how about Teddy Hart seemingly exploding a damp wrestler by applying an exposed wire to his body?

Of course, there was also that match where sparks fired out any time someone collided with the "electrified" steel cage, as if everyone was on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers instead of MTV.

They probably used more pyro in 10 episodes than WWE used at the last four WrestleManias.
