The creative genius known as Vince McMahon has done it again.

So basically he literally has the "little man" gimmick then right?
He's a small wrestler who's underestimated but he's really great at what he does. That's exactly what they say about all small guys.

To me, this doesn't necessarily read like he's LITERALLY ABOUT TO BECOME A WRESTLING VERSION OF THE ACTUAL CARTOON CHARACTER MIGHTY MOUSE, but I guess we've got this overriding sentiment of "WWE want to kill NXT guys' careers for being better" to do, so... *eats popcorn*
(Seriously, the only thing that stumps me is... Neville's not really a power guy, is he?)

That's barely a gimmick.

I reserve my judgement until I hear him bellow out HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY
Hopefully he's the new Hurricane

So if Neville is getting a Mighty Mouse gimmick, can we can get Kevin Dunn as an onscreen character with a Bucky Beaver gimmick?

If Sami Zayn and Bull Dempsey are brought up as a new-age Rocky and Bullwinkle, we riot.

It seems like this is 100% based on the fact that he's small... but he's effin' jacked.
It has nothing to do with who he actually is, or what has made him successful up to this point.

I call bullshit. Wasn't there a newz story a while back where Vince wanted Neville to straight up come out as Mighty Mouse, with Hunter thinking he just meant like, strong and small, only for Vince to kick up a storm when he wasn't literally dressed as Mighty Mouse, and Hunner having to explain they can't have him dressed as that, as the character's copyrighted.
EDIT: Googling it, story apparently comes from Metsfan on Reddit. So someone's probably read it and figured they can twist it into clickbait.

Oh, I get it. I get it. It's his big ears, isn't it? ISN'T IT? Well, children, he can't help that!

If the guy who wrote this article didn't namedrop Mighty Mouse, this becomes a non-issue. Seriously.

Adrian Neville looks ripped. He might be short or whatever and do high-flying moves, but just because he's not as tall as Roman Reigns doesn't mean he should get a mouse gimmick.

Personally, I hope he gets the gimmick where he doesn't lose every week and look like every other midcard goober with no momentum.

Maybe they meant Demitrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson? Like, he's gonna be a straight-up ass kicker, but still kinda small?
