These are from the NXT Royal Rumble tournament thread. There's a lot of them, I apologise. Bring in Adrian Neville. Insta-star. But yeah, rooting for A-PAC, they could get some awesome spots out of him, perhaps some sort of mad plancha onto a bunch of dudes? Also, Neville could pull off the elimination save spot brilliantly. Great idea. An awesome elimination save will give him just as much attention as eliminating one or two people would do, then have him stay in for 20 minutes and eliminate 1 person. I have a theory that they realized how awesome and over Neville is within the short amount of time and appearances that he has had, and they made this tournament to put him in the Rumble with an epic spot on the same level as Kofi's and Jomo's. I'm hoping its Adrian Nevelle. Give him 20-30 minutes, let him do some of the stuff that brought him to the dance, maybe get his corkscrew SSP in (I hope he keeps the British Airways name for it), a cool rumble save spot or two in, and maybe give him a brutal Paul London like elimination, and you got a star on your hands. So as you can see, a lot of people wanted Adrian Neville in the Rumble. But one quote stuck out in particular. Adrian Neville has to be the winner of this since its the perfect way to bring him in. No. No it's not. The perfect debut is very similar, but not yet. If they're doing an NXT tournament for Royal Rumble, then if they're doing a MITB match at Wrestlemania, then you do another NXT tournament for it at Fan Axxess. THEN you put Adrian in. If there's any match for PAC to debut in, and wow the crowd in, it's MITB. Him doing something crazy off the top of a ladder onto a bunch of guys, or something like the Shelton ladder run, it'll be HUGE. He would be over in an instant. So yeah, Royal Rumble isn't where you debut him, I don't even think Raw/Smackdown or any other PPV is when you debut him. Either WM MITB or the PPV itself. Money in the Bank is perfect.

Just put the guy in the ring with someone that can keep up with him (or at least, come close to it). He'll get over as soon as he hits that Shooting Corkscrew Press.

I don't really think debuting cold in a big PPV is the best way to debut anyone. Sure it'd bring smiles to the FCW contingent but for the general audience it will be someone they don't know. I don't think anyone has suffered from being presented on tv in some fashion before appearing at a PPV.

You don't need anything fancy. Just give him 5 minutes in the ring another fast-paced wrestler, like Gabriel or one of the Colons. He's sure to get over once he shows off his moveset.

I think out of the 8 Neville or maybe Connor O'Brian would probably be best for this spot, but i have to support my fellow country man and Newcastle fan with this one if they let him show case his stuff he'll be over with the crowd

But at the end of the day, it's still just a move.
It's not something that'll make him connect with the audience on an emotional level. He'll just be "That guy with the move" look at Petey Williams. His matches are usually contested in relative silence and polite clapping until he does the one move.

His matches are usually contested in relative silence and polite clapping until he does the one move. I agree but my idea was meant to get his foot in the door. Once he gets noticed because of that move, he can translate that into developing an actual character and using the rest of his in-ring ability to get over.

The sad thing is that Adrian Nevelle isn't just "OMG Corkscrew Shooting Star Press!!!", he's well versed in just about everything else you could do in a wrestling ring.

. Or be kayfabe related to the Neville Brothers. That could be a great gimmick if he did Monday Night Football style analysis on random matches. Imagine him tearing apart the Miz's terrible figure-four and distraction based losses from this weeks Raw. Oh and I like the MitB idea too, I think the rumble would have worked but as he's only just started on NXT holding off a few months may be a good idea.

I would start him off with a feud with Sin Cara, just picturing the matches now has me excited and if there's anyone that can wrestle Sin Cara's style and make him look good it's gonna be PAC.

Adrian Neville and Evan Bourne as a part of the tag team revival in WWE, in the role that the Hardys played, with Rhodes Scholars, Prime Time Players, Wyatt Family, Primo and Epico, Kidd and Gabriel (when Kidd gets off the IR), 3MB (BAYBAY!!!!), and so on and so forth.
You'd mark... admit it.

I think when he makes the main roster, it would be a good idea to capitalize on the fact that he DOESN'T look like a guy that can do this kind of stuff.
During his debut match, keep it competitive, but mat based, maybe some flashy chain wrestling, but that's about it. Have cole or whoever say "You know, I've heard a lot of things about this kid, from his work in Japan, to NXT. But this is my first time seeing him in action personally."
Keep it fairly groundbased, then have his opponent go for a superplex or something. Boom, knock him off, British Airways. Cole: "WOW!!!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Keep building on it week after week till he's a-flippity-flopping all about the place.

I love the idea of MITB at Mania having an NXT tournament for a spot, with Neville winning. I 100% agree
I would make the WM MITB a bit different from the MITB PPV one's. I would make a TLC match (still with the title hanging), if you win your eligible for both world titles like they used to do at Mania and it only has 6 guys in (including the NXT competitor, as you say that being Neville). Keep the MITB PPV one's exactly the same.
