Just to let you know, there were the participants for the Battle Royal #5 is A1 #6 is Zach Gowen. #8 is Sirelda. #12 is Johnny Devine. #16. is Petey Williams The Scott D'Amore mafia in full effect. All of them suck, too (save Williams, but that goes without saying).

Shelly earned his spot, though. HE was brought in becasue of his work in ROH, as much as, if not more than his work with D'Amore. Devine is a vanilla jabroni. He has mid-card enhancement worker skills (skills, but for putting others over. He has sweet f. a. to be more than that), zero charisma, sucks on the stick and has no chemistry with Shelly/Nash. He's the male Sirelda (who is the female Johnny Devine), imo. The guy is dead weight. He needs to know his role (like Sharkboy and Norman Smiley) and work that. His spot in TNA only existed because of D'Amore. Shelly - in demand on the indies and was an integral part of ROH's mid card. Johnny devine was simply D'Amore's BCW guy who was/is only getting bookings based on his association with D'Amore, as opposed to anything based on his actual "talent." Again, that's my op.

As for Sabin, he wasn't in the invitational, so he's a moot point. The "Kevin Nash Invitational" was more like the unofficial "Scott D'Amore Jabroni factory" match (Williams withstanding)

Scott D'Amore is like Killer Kowalski or (more so) Larry Sharpe. He was a forgettable enahncement guy but can train people to do the same. However, it's the students who wokr harder, or have that inate ability to go beyond that training who shined (Williams, Sabin - who still needs charisma lessons, Shelly, and Eric young -who isn't much of a ring king, but he's got that Ric Flair/Rock skill to work within his limits and he just oozes charisma when booked right). It's just sad that TNa have been dead-weighted with so much mediocrity via the D'Amore connection.
Bobby Rhoode, Johnny Devine, Sirelda, A-1 - total wastes of space on the TNA roster, when they only have one hour of television a week. Even if they had two, unelss they're there to watch the lights, they shouldn't be hired, let alone pushed in any capacity.
In the business there are Ric Flairs and Bob Hollys. Williams, Young, Sabin, etc. - they fall into the Flair category. The rest, they're Bob Hollys (mostly sub-Bob Holly) and are being forced into the Flair mode like square pegs into round holes. They just don't have it. Not even the magic of Paul Heyman could make that lot into anything more than jobbers.

SWERVE!! Sorry I haven't been on, but I just got back from Detroit, where me and Kev went miniature golfing. Let's just say, I was down 3 cases of Bud to 1, and came roaring back. Kev also told me that Bradshaw and Cole were going to be calling the Gauntlet! ....That's right, Terry Bradshaw and Gary Cole will be the special announcers. Call the hotline to find out more details, only 1.99 perminute, kids, get your parent's permission or credit card before calling! Not to bring the thread to a grinding hault, but, you played Mini Golf with Nash? AWESOME! Yup. He's got a terrible backstroke, but an dead accurate putt from 6 feet out. Y'know, my gimmick should be that I know and hang out with Kevin Nash. ;D Oh, and I like how this thread suddenly took a turn for the serious. Seriously.

It's OK. It blends together after a while.
