i can see they wanted to stack up the card, but i'm really surprised they got so many top prospect tourny guys in main roster matches

I think Rowe only got on bc Hardy couldn't get there

Badnews is correct about Rowe and Hanson was on the card because this was the title shot he got from winning the tournament. That was it. Those were the only two. Everett, Posey, R.T. and whoever else was in the tournament (I don't even remember anymore) weren't on this show. Taven, Silas, and Page were all from last year's tournament, but they are all pretty much full-fledged members of the roster now.
