10 Wrestlers WWE Paid To Do NOTHING!

Neville had had more than enough when he finally stormed out of the October 9th 2017 Monday Night Raw with all the fire he'd been storming in to matches with since turning heel the prior December

The 'Man That Gravity Forgot' had had a transcendent year as 205 Live's end-of-level boss, routinely stealing pay-per-views and pre-shows with powerful encounters against a variety of opponents clearly glad to be sharing some of his bright spotlight.

Typical of any WWE lightweight division, the Cruiserweight league was underserved regardless, Champion included. Neville's feuds and defences went largely unpromoted before and after the fact, most notably when his WrestleMania 33 kickoff clash with Austin Aries was booted from several versions of the DVD.

He'd shown his value long before for bailing on grounds of enormous creative frustration, and it was this reason Vince McMahon refused to let him back out into wrestling's wild. His contract was "frozen" within months of the dispute before he was permitted to seek employment elsewhere in August 2018. Based on responses to his recent return and the potential dream matches now on the table, WWE may have misfired in trying to temper his hitherto unseen temerity.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
