Sami Zayn was also a great foil, and that whole program planted the seeds for what I think will sustain Sami as a solid heel currently.

I don't know why, but that made me even MORE of a Neville fan. I miss him already.

Yeah I miss Neville.
Seems insane they couldn't find something else for him to do on the main roster or that they view the cruiserweight division as an impossible hole to climb out of. I mean you've already got Enzo and Kalisto on 205 Live, surely they weren't gonna have Neville flounder in some random feud with TJP or something. Should've moved him over to SmackDown so he could've had killer matches with heel Zayn. |

I think they wanted him to job to Enzo and he walked. Good for him.
Although if he did this to some indy fed I would probably say he was a dick. |

I mean for the purposes of my example I just picked a random cruiserweight in the division. I actually like everyone on 205 Live in the ring except for Enzo, and at least Enzo's entire character is that he's a shitty wrestler so it's whatever.
Anyway, I love TJP in the ring and his theme is boss. I want to punch him in the face every time he dabs, but since he's a heel now that's no biggie. Wish he would shut the fuck up about his men's rights activism on Twitter, though. |

Holy shit, TJP is an MRA? Hahaha!
Dude came off as likable on CWC, but he's had the charisma of a fish on the main roster. In the ring he's good, but he's done. Stick a fork in him. Cut him out in the recent array of releases and he can whinge about how he lost his job because he's a man. |

Dave Meltzer is a faggot. I like NJPW cause it's awesome.
You hate anything Meltzer likes. You are a reverse sheep. That's just as bad as sheep. Mic drop. |

So none of you have said why you hate him outside of dabbing. That's it?
I don't care about him being a MRA. I'm talking about wrestling. I don't follow him anywhere else, and it's not like he has Benoit-ed anyone. |

I don't know how positive the sentiment would be towards Neville backstage. I'm sure everybody understands his frustration. I'm honestly sure Vince does too. Enzo was a pain in the ass to work with and got rewarded. Will Neville also get rewarded? Will Vince respect him for trying to take his destiny into his hands, or will he be pissed at his defiance? I doubt we'll see WWE Champion Neville anytime soon, but Vince might put him in "sink or swim" situations, which might give us the chance to see some great television matches. I'll go out of my way to watch Styles vs. Neville, given that I think both are in the top five most interesting workers in the company right now. |

I mean... Sure like him and everything. And while everyone is attributing their hate to his MRA affiliations, if he was truly likeable and captivating, it would likely have no bearing.

People don't like Del Rio, so he's a piece of shit behind the scenes. Austin is the best, so it doesn't matter that there are very serious allegations of domestic violence in his history. TJ Perkins is a fucking dim-witted, narrow-minded, sexually frustrated piece of shit. AJ Styles is a homophobic twat, but that doesn't matter, because he's the best wrestler in the world. I liked Perkins in the CWC too. I thought he came off as natural and somewhat charming. His wrestling was good enough. Then he got to the main roster and they gave him the 8-bit makeover. And not just in the video game sense. They do that with everyone -- reduce them to a palette-swapped sprite of a wrestler with brief cliff-notes to explain why they are in this game, if that. I'm actually surprised they haven't fired him, given what a piece of shit he is though. |

At Hell in a Cell last year, they had Kendrick vs. TJP in a match for the Cruiserweight Title after halfway decent build where Kendrick was being a giant shithead to TJP.
Kendrick picked up a knee injury during the match. Corey Graves was openly saying it was a bluff. The viewing audience could see it coming from a mile away. The crowd booed his injury because it didn't look convincing. The only person in the world who didn't realize it was a bluff was TJ Perkins, because WWE books all of its faces to be retarded. Kendrick successfully played possum and won the belt as the crowd booed, not because the heel did something worthy of being booed but because the face just looked like a complete dingus. I remember in Scott Keith's review of the show he said the division and everyone in it was dead. This was only a month into the division existing. |

As for the MRA nonsense, whatever. That's a whole different dimension of douchenozzelry that has nothing to do with him as a talent... unless he ends up making some Briscoe-level comment that ends up catching fire and burning down his career. As for in-ring ability, not bad. But what good is it when I don't want to see the guy to begin with? I feel similarly about Street Profits. |

My heart sank about a million miles when that first aired. I knew it was necessary to have him retire but that was such a sad and brutal way to do it. I'd even argue that March 31st, 2003 was one of the darkest days ever in WWE, at least up to that point in time. |

A heel Neville coming back and winning the Rumble and challenging Styles would be awesome for Mania. It would elevate the whole cruiser division too by showing that their main guy can come onto the main roster and make a massive impact.
His heel work was the best character on the roster by a distance. I loved that he kept in character too. Hate seeing Strowman taking "cute" photos with Alexa Bliss. |
