10 Wrestlers Who Refused To Give Fans What They Came For

10. Neville

Bold statement incoming: Neville's run as Cruiserweight Champion is one of the best heel stints ever.

It was so simple to execute, but it worked a treat. The formerly-good natured flyer spurned fan support and declared himself the "King" of WWE's purple division after turning rogue in late-2016. By 2017, he was on a tear and cutting the promos of a lifetime - Neville bashed everyone, even those on his side.

Throughout, he tut-tutted fans for their patronising support of physically smaller workers, and promised that they'd never have a Cruiser titleholder to ridicule ever again. He also tweaked his moveset to favour ground-based submissions over flashy aerials.

Ideally, had his relationship with the company not soured dramatically, Neville would've used this gimmick as a springboard to bigger and better things away from 205 Live. That sadly didn't happen, but it did provide the basis for his later "Bastard" character elsewhere.
