I figured it would be good to start a new topic about this since the voting starts tomorrow. So, who are you voting for in each bracket and who are you hoping will win the whole thing?

Bad Bones John Klinger: Winner of the online TNA Gut Check Challenge

Congratulations to "Bad Bones" John Klinger for winning the TNA Gut Check Challenge! After earning the most fan votes, Klinger will now get his chance to appear on a future IMPACT broadcast to compete in the TNA Gut Check!

TNA would also like to recognize the effort by runner-up "Portugal's Perfect Athlete" Shanna, who also had a tremendous amount of international support from her fans in the contest!

TNA would also like to thank all of our loyal fans that voted in the Gut Check Challenge, as it provided a spotlight for many of the talented independent stars of our sport!

You can view the final vote totals from the Gut Check Challenge below.

Shanna is still in 2nd, LuFisto is now from 7th place to 5th, yet Nikki Storm is in like 10th/11th place right now. Shame Nikki isn't doing so well, but there's still a few days to change that. Hopefully Shanna & LuFisto get even better in their places.

Oh dear God... he does look an awful lot like DOC.

A few minutes ago Shanna WAS first, but Klinger took the place back, so at least we know that Shanna is very close right now...
LuFisto is forever jumping between 5th, 6th & 7th. But Nikki has dropped to 13th. I know she won't win now, but her being up higher would be nice to see.
Seems like Shanna will be our best bet if we want a woman to win this.

Also to add to the superstar support Shanna is getting, Matt Morgan mentioned for people to vote for her as well.

I think I get what he was going for with that video, but I would have thought endearing himself to the voting public was more important at the moment, because if he wins, he can do his little heel promo. Nobody is going to vote for someone who acts like an ass, you save that stuff for when you've actually made it.

He easily could have stated that he intends to bring wrestling out of it's usual state and make it something extraordinary, or whatever his point was, without coming across as a self absorbed narcissist. Saying you have no interest in signing with a company isn't going to make people want to vote you into that company.

Especially since he appeared humble, and genuinely happy to be a part of the Gutcheck challenge, when he gave a recent interview to TNAsylum, at the end of April. Kinda of a pointless disconnect, there.

Yeah I'm not voting for that guy. The top 3 are basically the same but Dab Savage and Lufisto have moved up to the 4th and 5th spots if anyone's interested whilst Chance Prophet has fallen to 6th.

Also let's be realistic, even if someone like Johnny Gill or Facade for example doesn't win it, or who didn't win their bracket like Lionheart odds are later on down the line they will probably get a shot at Gutcheck and a contract since they won their brackets and have gotten support from the internet and their fanbases. Its guys who finished dead last or got single digit votes like Reggie Reason and Ruff Ryder Rashaan who won't likely get a shot.

Swerve, kirsch goes for the anti-tna fans, I like his attitude. He's not winning it so might as well get some exposure out of it.
