It's just the way things are nowadays, pro wrestling fans are as fickle as they've ever been. Far from a damning verdict, it could be argued that this is because people are crying out for something to really sink their teeth into - true, money-making stars aren't exactly ten-a-penny in the modern era. Scripted promos, stop-start pushing and general malaise has led to fans finding it difficult to really get behind or hate a wrestler, but fans are impressed by what Neville brings to the table. The high-flyer routinely tore the house down when working on NXT, and he deserved his move up to the main roster. A lot of fans have been complaining about the King Of The Ring result online, feeling that the Newcastle-born Neville would have been a far better choice to take home the title for himself, instead of Wade Barrett. Taking a chance on someone new could have been the answer, instead of someone who doesn't appear to be headed for the main event mix permanently.
