GutCheck is back!
IMPACT Wrestling is on the hunt for its next Superstar.
IMPACT Wrestling’s GutCheck program that kicked off nearly a decade ago introduced many new stars and many veterans to a greater television audience. Whether it was Adam Pearce, or Samuel Shaw (Dexter Lumis), the GutCheck program brought new wrestlers into the fold of IMPACT. Past judges include the likes of Ric Flair, Taz, and Bruce Prichard.
Now, the program is returning on March 6 as part of the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. Lance Storm and John E. Bravo will run the Gutcheck.
