"Adrian Neville: Mary Poppins Chimney Sweeper" doesn't sound so bad now, does it?

At least it's not generic black trunks guy that thinks he's a good wrestler Funny thing is that if Neville had that gimmick NOW, he'd still stand out.

Throwing the guy under a mask wouldn't actually be a bad idea. He's average on the mic but the mask would let him connect with kids a lot more and he could be a British Rey Mysterio

If they want a slightly goofy masked guy, it seems a shame they didn't sign that El Generico guy before he retired. They did. He is Sami Zayn. I will continue to shit on this dead horse of a joke every time you people post it.

At least they're not doing this to someone with actual personality and charisma.

The fact that you could confuse the two of them is absurd. Seriously. When did you ever see El Generico skaing? Frankly, it's insulting to Zayn for him to be compared to Generico and have his entire legacy disrespected.

At least Tyler Breeze being repacked as Secret Squirrel should be fun.

At this point i'd be more happy if they made him a LOTR knockoff character/elf.

A "serious Crash Holly" wouldn't be the worst use of Neville. He could get it over. I'm more concerned about WWE's booking of it.

I will continue to shit on this dead horse of a joke every time you people post it. Really? Sami himself is the one who started the whole thing, so is it really so wrong that his fans like to play along? Even on Talk Is Jericho, he denied having been El Generico. It's harmless fun.

I actually would like seeing this gimmick play out. We can have a more believable 'Giant-Killer' storyline than the one they tried forcing on Rey Mysterio Jr., Neville's small in frame but the man's ripped.

Do you replace Neville's arsenal with power moves? And what happens if he wrestles a guy close to his own size? Does he just kill the dude in 25 seconds? There are a lot of potential issues with this gimmick beyond just "it's stupid".
