10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Adrian Neville

9. U.S Breakthrough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59SLfPR0nJ4 It was while performing on a card in the UK that PAC caught the attention of US indie wrestlers El Generico and Kevin Steen. Generico and Steen (NXT's Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens), were blown away by PAC's high-flying ability. They raved about him to the higher-ups at PWG and the 19-year-old sensation was flown across the pond for his American debut. PAC's first PWG match was against AJ Styles on November 17th, 2006. It was a great match and PAC instantly got over with the hardcore PWG crowd. The next night against Generico was even better. The match went on last, a huge test for PAC, a test that he passed with flying colours. They had an incredible match that had fans jumping out of their seats. Highlights of the match can be seen in the video above. Anyone who enjoyed Sami Zayn versus Adrian Neville on NXT Takeover: R Evolution owes it to themselves to track down PAC versus Generico in 2006. The match put PAC on the map and lead to frequent bookings with PWG and Ring of Honor. That PWG would routinely fly PAC out from England just to work for them shows how highly he thought of him.
