Wasn't that Chris Candido's gimmick somewhere, at some point in time?

I'm intrigued by what they're going to do with Neville. He clearly can't talk but he's magnetic to watch in the ring because of his athleticism. He hasn't really had a gimmick the entire time he's been in NXT. His gimmick is that he's athletic, and that's not a gimmick, just ask Kofi Kingston.
I think these guys are going to start getting bumped up to the main roster sooner, rather than later, to try and fill out a midcard. I just made plans to go see NXT the second weekend in January because I think Balor and Itami are going to be out of there quickly and I'm dying to see them live. The main roster is thin and there is obviously all kinds of buzz coming off of R-Evolution. If the ratings struggle at all during Mania season then I foresee these guys popping up quickly to drum up excitement. Neville is the guy I'm least excited about of the 5 though, but if they can find a way to make it work I'll definitely get behind it.

I've always seen him as someone who will get an Evan Bourne like run with the company.

I see where they're going but they need to do it right and not make him a joke...

mighty mouse was ing stupid if this company legitimately thinks a guy dressed like a mouse will pop ratings..... however it could just be a play on words. who the hell knows anymore. its pretty clear that vince does things that pretty much only he and probably kevin dunn find HILARIOUS and it's hurting his product

I'll believe it when I see it. Right cause Page, Big e, Emma etc .didn't have their gimmick changed when they got called up.

Hes not A Mysterio or Bryan so he'll never be near the WWE title or be around long IMO. Hopefuly im wrong about that but ive never seen him going far on the main roster.

If I were Neville, I'd consider quitting right about now. Well good thing you're not Adrian Neville.

Common sense should tell you... Mighty Mouse means they want him to be legit despise his smaller size. They aren't going to have him wear a cape and mouse ears. This is the way I took it too. Not literally a mouse superhero, but a super athletic smaller individual, who I take it won't be pushed as an underdog character. Unless they do dress him up as Mighty Mouse and then dress up Sami Zayn as Underdog...

I'm optimistic that this won't be as bad as it sounds. Part of me is very worried though, still. THIS. Word for word.

Your argument is invalid. right because Page gimmick was a crazy lesbian who doesn't have any friends. When Paige got called up, that wasn't her gimmick. It changed into something like what you're saying about 5 months later. Again, you're wrong and invalid.

Best case is Crash Holly...Worst case is Red Rooster.

Come on WWE fans defend this cartoon crap??
Why should anyone here have to defend anything? Like it? Watch it. Don't like it? Don't watch it. It's not that ing complicated.

HHH really needs to start standing up to Vince more, especially when it comes to his NXT guys.
