Didn’t watch Double or Nothing, but finally got around to watching the preshow battleroyal.
I can break down the guys into three groups...
Love em:
Dustin Thomas
Nakazawa
Brian Pillman Jr.
Jungle Boy
Luchasaurus
Marko Stunt (Stranger Things!)
Sonny Kiss
Orange Cassidy
Adam Page
Ex WWE guys I hope to never see again:
Billy Gunn
Shawn Spears
Glacier (ok maybe I would be fine with seeing him again)
Tommy Dreamer
Who? / Indy as hell:
MJF (I don’t get this guys hype. Miz jr.)
Sunny Daze
Brandon Cutler (Justin Credible jr.)
Private Party
Jimmy Havoc (eat a sandwich)
Joey Janela (I’m was surprised to hear he was Page’s opponent at All in. Dude sucks)
Ace Romero (put the cookie down)
Sell me on those I didn’t care for.

MJF's really good at skits and promos. Romero moves well for his weight and is fairly charismatic. Janela's a great marketer and takes a lot of bumps to put the other guy over. I liked Havoc when he teamed with Darby Allin

I can see where you are coming from with some of your criticisms. But some of these guys you should really YouTube especially Janela and MJF. Both are incredibly charismatic and have had some fun matches.
Janela is my favorite of those you mentioned as not liking as he’s a true fan of wrestling and has done a bunch of stuff playing off legends.

I like Romero’s pounce. Which I loved when Monty Brown did it. So I was on the fence about him more than the others.
But seriously some of those guys I mentioned have terrible physiques and ring attire, I it’s a random nickpick. But it’s seriously something takes me out of the show. Wrestlers are supposed to be larger than life. Cutler, Havoc, Private Party, even some of the guys I liked, it wouldn’t hurt them to hit the gym before the show starts on TNT. It’s one thing if I’m watching some Indy show on YouTube and it’s in front of 200 people. But under the bright lights and production values it was really noticeable. If I believe I could probably take them in a fight, what’s the point of watching them wrestle. Same reason I hate Kevin Owens
Also half of these guys don’t have Wikipedia pages. It’s 2019.

well Orange Cassidy has been tearing up CHIKARA for a long while... under a different gimmick...  That gimmick is of course... Mike Quackenbush >_> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THEM AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME! Probably... but shutup... Seriously though... {Spoiler}{Spoiler} it's cool both founding members of the Colony are in big companies.... granted I wish WWE would do more with Gulak but that could be said with almost anyone in the WWE |

Justin Credible Jr.? Because he's skinny and bald? Come on man, be real. It’s the wrestlers / commentaries job to sell me one someone. Five guys are coming out at once. I felt they did a good job with the guys I enjoyed. But Cutler was there from the the beginning and commentary put him over, but they keep forgetting this is the first time a lot of people are seeing these guys. They made it sound like I should care about him but niether commentary or Cutler himself explained “why”. So he was just kinda there. So yeah when I’m watching the show with a friend trying to care about some of these guys I’ve never heard of before. Yep. He’s Justin Credible jr. |

you tell me why I should sell you on anyone, and i'll consider it It’s a wrestling forum? This place is for discussion. I enjoyed the battle royal and would really love to see the company and these guys succeed. As I mentioned in my Justin Credible jr post, sometime a 15 minute battle royal can’t do a guy justice. (In the same breath it’s why I love the royal rumble and watch it with my non fan friends, you get introduced to everyone and everyone has a moment to shine.) So if there’s a match or promo I should check out on YouTube. Post it here. I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt . |

You'll see Janela have a couple of great singles matches, and most of the others as well. |

I’ll give my own opinion of the guys in the battle royale most of whom I had never seen before:
Liked em:
Luchasaurus - cool gimmick, nice move set just wish he didn’t sell so much to put over the monster vibe
Orange Cassidy - it’s a fun gimmick and I know he can do more
Glacier - I’m a sucker for Glacier
Shawn Spears - don’t remember him in wwe, looks like a good hand to have
Brandon Cutler - likes him, seemed solid
MJF - great heel, played it to a T
Private Party - felt these guys didn’t do much in the match but could be a good tag team.
Ace Romero - they need a fat guy, he seems good enough.
Don’t Care
Dustin Thomas - Well it’s nice he got to appear but not sure what you can do with him long term.
Brian Pillman Jr. - didn’t do anything to impress me.
Sonny Kiss - same as Pillman Jr
Adam Page - for all the hype I thought he was distinctly average
Sunny Daze - so his gimmick is what? Need more promo time
Jimmy Havoc - didn’t really see anything interesting in him
Dislike:
Joey Janela - a lot of hype but seems really average and boring, even his Indy stuff I looked up.
Tommy Dreamer - seem it all before, times up
Billy Gunn - see t.dreamer
Marko Stunt - nope, too small, scrawny, at least spike Dudley has the Dudley association. Marko looks like a fan jumped in the ring
Nakazawa - If his baby oil thing is it then he needs to do it better as it looks really amateurish.
Jungle Boy - I didn’t know LMFAO lead singer wrestled. Don’t understand what he has to do with jungles is he Tarzan?

Maybe the right match or promo maybe it could change my mind. So when the show comes on TNT maybe I can watch with a more open mind. |

This time might somehow be totally different but in my decades of forum browsing I've literally never once seen any thread where someone was like "SELL ME ON SOMETHING" actually sell anyone on anything

I have no idea who MJF is but I was only watching a few minutes before I decided he felt like a big deal star to me.
