    I love how none of the Gutcheck winners have been seen since getting their contracts, its a shit idea anyway, why not just introduce these new wrestlers like normal and give them a decent gimmick. But then again this is the company that has Tazz on commentary….

    In theory, the Gut Check concept is fine…but in practice, I can’t see it lasting. Like China said, why don’t they just introduce new wrestlers the traditional way? Also, the TNA roster is bloated enough as it is; talent is being cut left and right in an effort to save cash…how is constantly introducing new workers going to help the situation? Already, three Gut Check contestants have been accepted into TNA (Alex Silva, Taelor Hendrix and Sam Shaw), and we haven’t seen anything of them since. Already, Gut Check has devolved into gimmickry (with the Joey Ryan angle and the Sam Shaw beat-down), which is usually indicative of it not lasting much longer.

    Hell, Devon was supposed to defend his TV Title every week, and TNA have already screwed THAT up!
