Thoughts:

I thought he had a very good showing and could be used very well in TNA i think he was the second best guy on TNA Gutcheck since Joey Ryan.

Thoughts?

[Playboy Stevie V]

If I was a judge here would be my breakdown of him:

Positive:
Good ring shape
Unique look
Has a personality

Negative:
Some of his moves looked lazy and slow. He needs some fine tuning.
His age might be a factor, depending on how much work he needs to get over and polish up his ring skills compared to how long he can actually be used and his body will hold up. Could be a bad investment time vs actually marketability wise.

Vote: Yes

I like him, he has a good look I will give him that, Because of his age I would e real happy if they said yes and just skipped OVW all together with him and brought him straight up to the main roster

[Sweet Pea]

I think he would be a great addition to the X division. I thought he was Joey Mercury at first.

He tagged with him for years on the indy scene.

[Sicksnuff17]

I vote yes, he has the look and pretty impressive match with Ion, age dosent matter .. Look at Kid Cash and Sting

[AWrestlingGod]

Yes I don't see him being world champion, but the X-Division need some new talent and he took the former x-division champion to the limit so yea.

[Robareid]

He tagged with him for years on the indy scene.

They were on the first few ROH shows together along with Mickie James as there valet until Joey joined Special K


Oh, and Yes. He looked good in his match. Age could be a limiting factor though

[Darkside Ron Garvin]

I'll go with Playboy's set up.

Positives:
Experience fact in the business
Currently in shape to be on TV
Seems to have a fire lit
Loved the Half-Nelson German he pulled off
Good chemistry in the ring with a recent X-Division champ
Put on a solid 5+ min match without blowing up

Negative:
Looked sluggish a few times (The forward flip Pele)
Age is a concern - Will he be an Austin Aries who gets over in a year or less?
How long will it take to get him Impact Live ready - Can he go week to week?
What's his cap? Outside of being in the X Division, how can he be used?

He is the first one I can honestly say I have a full out "Yes" reaction to, but he does have a few setbacks that would determine how long I would sign him for.
