Dixie Carter revealed via a video at the TNA fan event in London that the company is running with a new series called TNA Bootcamp. The idea is similar to Tough Enough and The Ultimate Fighter, with British only talents competing for a deal with TNA. So far Marty Scurll, Rockstar Spud and The Blossom Twins are all confirmed. No word on when it will debut, but the series will air on Challenge TV.

So it's gonna be more like the latest season of Tough Enough? (mak a cheezy realality show with a bunch of people who are already pro wrestlers) I liked the first 3 seasons of Tough Enough where they took athletic people and made them into wrestlers. (Million dollar Tough Enough did give us Ryback and Miz but didn't care for it too much)

will the first person to get eliminated be the first to appear on tna television, and the winner will be fired?

Knowing TNA and Dixie Carter, Sting will somehow be involved in this.

I mean, he's involved in everything else.

He'll probably play the role of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

You might get names like "Marty Spangler" or "Franklin McDoogle" which are dumb, but still better than "ROCKSTAR SPUD". Is Spud short for something? Is he Irish?

lol nah, was just Spud, plucky bland babyface lightweight before becoming an "egotistical rock star". Probably the best/most "nailed on" character/gimmick in the country. Somebody would have signed him ages ago if he was a foot taller.

Mongo is the one who really cashed in on the Bam Bam/LT WrestleMania XI match. He parlayed it into a WWE Hall of Fame career as a proud member of the 4 Horsemen and a former United States Champion.

Only Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham and JJ Dillon are in the Hall of Fame as Horsemen.

Although I agree that he probably made a good amount of change for himself, but probably lost most of it in divorce.

They really should have skipped Ring Ka King and tried a promotion in England instead.

He hosts a sports radio show in Chicago and is the head coach of the Chicago Slaughter indoor football team (which is owned by Jim McMahon).
