10 Wrestlers That Should Ask WWE For Their Release
9. Neville
A far more problematic inclusion in this article, the former independent stand-out PAC made such huge strides as an all-round performer while working on NXT that it seemed like a crime for him to be called up to the main roster. Us longtime WWE fans can usually tell who the company will decide to get behind and who they wont. True, its a self-fulfilling prophecy much of the time, but megastars like Daniel Bryan are the exception rather than the rule: a perfect storm of talent and timing that seemingly cant be denied. Its said that Nevilles biggest strikes are his size and his promo skills: well, they said the same thing about Daniel Bryan, and while Neville isnt Bryans technical equal, Bryan couldnt fly like that in a million years. But thats not going to make a blind bit of difference if the company dont take that risk with him. The other problem is that Neville has another thing in common with Bryan: their intense styles are brutal on the human body. Neville is thirty this year, and has been wrestling for twelve years. Every wrestler works hurt - but will the style that got him signed get him over before it gets him injured? Right now, Nevilles been on the main roster for nearly a year, and hasnt had a major feud of his own, or the television or mic time to get properly noticed by a casual WWE audience who arent already familiar with what he can do. Hes been booked as a human finishing move: he could easily blink and find that three more years have gone in exactly the same fashion. In fact, thats actually more likely than that hell get the TV time needed to advance further up the card. This year is likely to be a make or break time for the Geordie superhero. Time to fly, Neville.
