8 Huge WWE Great Balls Of Fire Predictions You Need To Know
6. Tozawa Not On The Neville Level
But then, nobody is.
If awards were given out for such intangible achievements, the Cruiserweight champion would scoop the big one. In every metric, kayfabe or otherwise, Neville is the WWE Superstar of the Year.
His pay-per-view match streak this year is now completely unparalleled, with matches against Rich Swann, Gentleman Jack Gallagher and Austin Aries stealing every show they were on, and his in-ring and promo work on Monday Night Raw and 205 Live on another planet compared to his lightweight contemporaries.
The Geordie flyer deserves even more credit for assembling such an array of achievements considering the contempt the company appears to show for the division less than a year after reestablishing it with the dynamic Cruiserweight Classic.
Even his Twitter game is beyond anything his colleagues would dare attempt in an era where kayfabe crumbles on a daily basis. His furious lectures to the world as the uncompromising 'King of the Cruiserweights' are a riot, and reflect his phenomenal improvement as a character since the heel turn.
Akira Tozawa remained the last credible opponent currently kicking around the 205-and-under abyss, but to steal the titleholder's lingo, he's not even close to being on his level.
