I've got more Ho's than Jim Duggan
Seems the week that is bringing in 2013 is becoming a very busy time for Indy wrestlers to use their twitter accounts to hint at the possibility of joining TNA.
First we had Matt Jackson speculating on a TNA return, now two other guys are getting into the mix...
First: Jay Bradley
Bradley is a former long time WWE developmental talent, who did his FCW and most of his main roster work under the name Ryan Braddock.
Not a suprise to see Bradley's name pop up as it had been reported, and alluded to by Bradley himself, that he has at times been one of the talents working under the Aces and Eight's masks.
Now he is teasing a Gutcheck appearance, sending out these tweets-
‏@JayBradleyPW:
and
He has also re-tweeted some responses/dirt sheet articles that are also rumoring him to be headed to TNA for Gut Check.
IMO Bradley wouldn't be a bad addition to the roster, but he would probably have made more sense to be kept as part of A&8s. Also Bradley is 32 years old, so like Ryan and York, he doesn't really qualify as an up and coming prospect and doesn't add youth to the roster.
The other guy: Brian Cage
Cage, a protege of the late Chris Kanyon, is another former WWE developmental talent who was strangely let go with no explanation. He is one of the top stars on the California Indy scene. Cage also has a close relationship with Joey Ryan and the two were stablemates in Pro Wrestling Bushido. He too is hinting on Twitter at a Gut Check opportunity-
‏@MrGMSI_BCage:
This tweet got several responses, to which Cage dropped some hints.
One follower simply asked Cage- "gut check?"; to which he responded: "you may be on to something".
He was also asked by Nick Jackson who he had signed with, to which he responded "technichally no one yet", which prompted someone to congratulate him and ask "What station should I set my DVR to?"- That question yielded this response-
@MrGMSI_BCage:
Cage also re-tweeted a link to an article that was discussing his likelihood as the next Gut Check competitor.
Cage, who is known as "Mr. GMSI"(get my shit in), is only 28 years old and is a former bodybuilder who is a ridiculous physical specimen. He is very similar in size/body makeup to Bobby Roode. He is also known as the "Fuckin' Machine" and lives up to the nickname due to his combo of athleticism and freakish strength. Cage is charismatic, routinely puts on very entertaining matches, has alot of talent, and a very impressive offensive moveset. He is just the type of under-30 year old, big upside addition that TNA could use on their roster. A lot of people besides myself have mentioned his name on this forum over the last few months as exactly the type of fresh talent that TNA needs going forward. He could help just about any division TNA decides to use him in, and could possibly develop into a future main eventer.
What do you guys think about seeing Bradley and Cage as possible Gut Check contestants/future TNA roster members??
