After the huge success of British Boot Camp, there is currently a plan to add the rest of the four contestants to the roster.
All six episodes of the show have earned higher ratings than any other TNA broadcast, including pay-per-views, shown in the UK since joining Challenge TV. There are no plans for a new series.
The show recently concluded with veteran UK star Rockstar Spud winning a TNA contract. But the internal feeling is that Spud will not last long in the company. While many feel that he is the best in-ring performer, and the most confident on the microphone, they are concerned about his behaviour outside of the ring. Spud has a reputation for binge drinking and having little patience with colleagues. There is a feeling that Spud would choose to walk out if he reached a disagreement with others backstage. It is believed that the 11-year veteran has enough experience on the independent circuit to feel like he has other options.
The competition was very close between Spud and both Blossom Twins. TNA feels that the WWE dropped the ball by never using the Bella Twins properly. TNA had tried to sign the Bellas before, but the Blossoms are more popular due to their microphone skills and wrestling ability. They could serve as great additions to the Knockouts Tag Team division, which has been struggling for a very long time. The fact that Eric Young could leave the company for 2 months and return to continue a run with the women-only title is sign of how bad the division is right now. Also, TNA are scared that if they wait too long, then the WWE will sign the girls first.
While Marty Scurll was the least popular of the four, TNA feel that he could still prove to be a positive addition to the product. Spud's small size could result in him remaining in the X-Division and never advancing further. Scurll is X-Division weight, but would have an easier transition to a different title division.
The idea of putting Scurll and the Blossoms as a team has already been discussed. But Spud would not be a part of this stable as this would be too similar to the Nexus story line in the WWE.
Expect Scrull and both Blossoms to get tryouts on future episodes of TNA Impact.
