Everett was in last year's. He was by all appearances going to be moved onto the main roster when he got injured.

If they get work visas worked out, I'd wager the Monster Mafia will get a chance to become regulars as a tag team. I can definitely see the first 3 there, as well as Busick as an outside shot. Maybe Gulak as well. But they'll want to draw from guys that go the camps, since that's where they want guys to go so they can be seen there (and since they're paying for it, it helps the company was well)

I'll add they really seem to be pushing Ferrera onto the main roster now, and I approve. I think the guy has a decent look, if a bit small, and moves well. I think he's got potential.

A quick note on Andrew Everett: Based on what he's been saying on Twitter recently, it seems like he'll be making his in-ring return sometime in February.

PLEASE bring him back, ROH. He was so entertaining and so good. PLEASE.

He might not be the same because of his injury. I hope he is because the guy could fly in an entertaining way (I just saw the 3 ways he had with Ceric and Lee at Wrestlecon and PWG and still feel he's much better than Lee at the same thing)

I think Lee and Everett would actually be a pretty good tag team in ROH.

I'd love to see Biff Busick in ROH. Not only is he really good, but he looks like mini-Zangief.

Why are people putting Moose on these lists? The concept of the Top Prospect Tournament is to earn a contract. Moose already signed one and it was hyped at and after BITW14. He has no reason to be in the tournament since he already has the price.

What happened to Watanabe, anyway? Is that over with? ROH seems to have stopped booking him, but he doesn't seem to be back in Japan.

Remember, the TPT isn't really to get a contract, it's to get a shot at the Television Championship. So anyone that is currently below TV Champ level is an appropriate entrant .I think it's totally fine to have people in the TPT that have been in it before. I consider Everett to still be a prospect. Moose, (despite having a contract) is still a prospect. They aren't yet stars in their own right.

Good News! I sent out a Tweet to Andrew Everett about his return. Here's what I got in response:
@_AndrewEverett 21h21 hours ago
Got into a ring this weekend... I didn't even do anything, but it reassured me just how much I love what I do. Hurry up February.

@SASedor2994
@_AndrewEverett Are you coming back to @ringofhonor?

@_AndrewEverett 5h5 hours ago
@SASedor2994 @ringofhonor Of course! Can't wait.

It's also about finding who is ROH's top prospect. Moose really isn't a "prospect" anymore as he's got the regular spot on the roster.

All the winners of the most recent winners of the TPT have won contracts, Taven and Hansen being the two latest. The idea behind the top prospect tournament is to bring ing "unsigned talent" to see who can hang with the roster and earn a contract and a shot at the TV belt

The original Top Prospect winner already had a contract. Both in kayfabe and reality.
