Former Impact Wrestling Champion Makes NXT Debut

One more for the good guys. NXT is one of the hot spots for wrestling with a host of top stars coming to work for the brand. Several wrestlers have tried to get in and while not of them do, those who do make it in usually have quite the results. Now, a new name has made his debut for the promotion.

At a Thursday night house show in St. Petersburg, Florida, former Impact Wrestling TV and Tag Team Champion Gunner made his NXT debut under his real name of Chad Lail. Billed from Charlotte, North Carolina instead of Atlanta, Georgia as he was in Impact Wrestling, Lail lost to No Way Jose.

Opinion: This one has potential as Gunner was one of the names that I always thought had potential in Impact Wrestling. He had an intensity to him that was rarely matched and the in-ring work was coming along. Give him some good coaching and something to back it up and he could go somewhere in NXT.
