Think you’ve got what it takes to become the next big star? Then it’s time for a “Gut Check” – your first step in becoming an IMPACT WRESTLING superstar!
TNA Gut Check is a two-hour seminar that will cover multiple aspects of professional wrestling and participation in these ongoing seminars will be very limited. Prospective professional wrestlers, announcers, managers, valets and referees will be evaluated through promos, drills, simulated matches and in-ring work by TNA Agents and staff.
Additionally, the Gut Check seminars will allow for management to scout up-and-coming talent to appear on the “Gut Check” segment of the monthly Open Fight Night on the hit Spike TV show IMPACT WRESTLING. This will give aspiring wrestlers & other talent the kind of instruction and advice they can’t receive anywhere else in the industry.
Current TNA Superstars that are Gut Check alumni include Crimson, Lei’D Tapa, Taeler Hendrix, Christian York, Jay Bradley, and Sam Shaw.
In order to apply, you must complete the form and send footage of your matches and recent photos. All the details are below. There is a $20 non-refundable application fee that must be paid when you submit your application. If you are accepted into Gut Check, you will be notified via email no later than 7 days prior to the event. At that time, you will be required to pay the remaining balance due ($230) and sign the liability waiver as well as a media release.
