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 won€™t. True, it€™s 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 can€™t be denied. It€™s said that Neville€™s biggest strikes are his size and his promo skills: well, they said the same thing about Daniel Bryan, and while Neville isn€™t Bryan€™s technical equal, Bryan couldn€™t fly like that in a million years. But that€™s not going to make a blind bit of difference if the company don€™t 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, Neville€™s been on the main roster for nearly a year, and hasn€™t had a major feud of his own, or the television or mic time to get properly noticed by a casual WWE audience who aren€™t already familiar with what he can do. He€™s 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, that€™s actually more likely than that he€™ll 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.
