Impact Wrestling has a lot going on, as they could have their eye on offering CM Punk a deal. The company is also bringing back a popular idea that might discover a new future star.
TNA’s Gut Check event was a unique opportunity for aspiring professional wrestlers to showcase their skills and potentially earn a spot on the TNA roster. During Gut Check, participants had the chance to impress TNA officials with their in-ring abilities and charisma. This event provided a platform for undiscovered talent to prove themselves on a national stage and pursue their dreams of becoming professional wrestlers in one of the prominent wrestling organizations of its time. It was a significant stepping stone for many wrestling hopefuls looking to make a name for themselves in the industry.
The company issued a press release revealing that they will be holding the Gut Check tryouts during their upcoming tour of the United Kingdom. The two dates they will take place are in Glasgow on Wednesday, October 25, and in Coventry on Sunday, October 29. Full details can be found below.
