- Happens once a month and starts on the April 26th iMPACT
- Anybody can challenge anyone on the roster and they MUST accept
- One of the champions will also defend their belt(s) on this show, chosen by Hulk Hogan

- First Gut Check tryout starts on the April 26th iMPACT
- Happens once a month on the Open Fight Night shows (I think, details are sketchy)
- A Talent from outside the show will appear and attempt to earn a contract
- Al Snow & 2 other judges alongside Hulk Hogan get the final verdict

--------

So what do people make of this concept then?

Personally I like the sound of it, but I thought the same of the Rankings System they did but that ended going to total shit really. I don't know if it's just the people already on the roster who can challenge for the belts, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them do a shock title change with someone from outside the company, maybe in like the KO division or something. I hope they actual bring in some decent people though with a view to them signing because I remember when they did something similar last time leading into DestinationX was it where they had A Double, Zema Ion etc competing on iMPACT and that was really fun.

I like that they're at least trying something new. Now, I'm liking the concept so far. It's very easy to fuck up though, extremely easy to fuck up, so they'll probably fuck it up, but on the off chance they don't, I think they may be on to something here. I don't see it lasting very long though.

I like the concept, I've already got 5/6 matches i wanna see. I'm also hoping TNA don't pull a TNA and fuck it up only 3 shows in.

they screwed up their rating system and the bound for glory system was kinda dull but hay this is a fresh concept i hope it works out.

I'll reserve judgment until I see how TNA executes this idea. Good ideas are not a rarity for TNA, rather the way they execute those ideas. And TNA is probably the worst company in the history of wrestling at execution.

I was most happy to hear that the television title will finally be defended on every telecast, you know, like a television title should be.

Sounds good and creative in theory but they always seem to fuck stuff like this up. How will they screw it up idk but if there is a way to do it they will find it.

Open fight night sound interesting but cant see it lasting long.
Gut check is a good idea depending who they bring on,
also anyone know wheter if they got a cntract or not is decided beforehand or if they actually decide there and then
