10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Better In The Indies

This would have been more relevant a year or so ago than it is today, but Neville's new role as 205 Live's resident bully boy hasn't yet elevated him to the heights we envisaged for the man who stole the NXT show for nearly a year. Neither is it clear, at this point, whether The Man That Gravity Forgot will continue to be pushed once he outgrows the cruiserweight division (which was probably about two months ago).

Before signing with WWE, Neville wasn't Neville. He was Pac, which sounds less like an England cricket star and more like a badass professional wrestler. Fitting, given that the Brit had established himself as one of the indie scene's most exciting performers after appearances in PWG and Dragon Gate. At 30, there's every chance he could reach those heights with WWE, but he really needs to be paired up with more fitting adversaries first.
