TNA Gutcheck - Wes Brisco

[Cabers]

And there we have it EWN voted 94.44% in favour of Wes and he gets a contract and that concludes i believe the most predictable gutcheck so far.


Sidenote: This marks the 8 contestant on Gutcheck since it started of those 8: 5 gained a contract (Silva, Hendrix, Shaw, York & Brisco), 2 failed (Lewie, Markopoulos) & 1 got a non-development contract Ryan.

Thats a fairly high success rate!!

One remark about the Gut Check match / Brisco's moveset. His finisher is ridicilous. He pinned Bischoff but was on the mat with both shoulders for the whole three count.

They should fix that.

Still a lower success rate that the MITB briefcase... just saying

Lol, would be a cool gimmick. A fifty match undefeated streak consisting only of ties..

They were very green.
It was not good. Wes looked great, until the actual match started.

Tell you the truth; I think Wes would have looked better if they picked a different opponent. I understand why they chose Garrett (he's shitty enough that a GutCheck contestant could go over him and he loses no credibility because he has none) but I just think it was a horrible choice to put a guy who is trying to become part of the roster against a guy who (in MY opinion) shouldn't be on the roster. You could have gotten a better result with using an appearance for (saddened to say) Sonjay, Douglas Williams, The Pope, Kid Kash, or even Crimson because all these guys have been booked so weak the last few times we have seen them, it wouldn't hurt their credibility too much and produced a better match than what Wes had.

I think they should have thrown a hook at Kurt over his petitioning for the GutCheck shot. He should have wrestled Wes with the stipulation that if Kurt loses, he can't get another WHC shot for 6 months (AJ like but without the constant reminding of the audience) just as a simple way to avoid a "Finger Poke" moment in GutCheck. If anyone could have made Wes look good, it would have been Kurt. He could have gave Wes a balance of looking good style wise and looking good "in-ring" wise, and it would have made him a much more believable GutCheck winner; right now it appears too blatant of an easy way to advance the A&8s storyline. Of course, had they gone this route, they could in no way allow Wes to win, which is what they were going for... I just think it would have been a nice twist than the predictable route they chose.

He'd have looked better with anyone else on that roster.
But the actual reason he wrestled Garrett, is because they are in cahoots in the Aces and 8's. It's just not out yet.
So when it will come out, they can say, Garrett let him win, because he's also an Aces and 8's guy.

It wouldn't make sense, storyline wise, if Wes beat Angle. Kurt is supposed to be his wrestling trainer, that would reek of corruption(storyline wise) on Angle's part.
And I think they are going to feud with Angle, once they get exposed. So if Wes had beaten Angle already it would be p. awkward.

[Cynicism]

It doesn't make sense that Garratt has a contract, so anything involving him will also fail to make sense. With his ability and charisma he's only make sense in a nepotism angle as comic relief, never in a serious angle and never in anything other than being the victim of a squash match

To the Garrett part; I know the direction of the story, which is why I said originally that the way the whole Garrett vs. Wes Gut Check was done was far too "predictable" and only used to advance the A&8s story...

As for the Wes vs. Kurt; re-read my whole paragraph on that Auto... Everything you just said, I stated in that paragraph. (i.e. Makes not sense, the idea they were going for was for Wes to win/couldn't do that against Kurt, not that it was the best idea [not awkward] just a different idea put out there)
