The source is literally just a random Reddit post. Not even something MetsFan said.

Personally, I hope he gets the gimmick where he doesn't lose every week and look like every other midcard goober with no momentum. You hear that Mr. Magic? That is the sound of inevitability.

Why change him up? Everyone knows him from NXT, so having him have a gimmick with no explanation makes no freaking sense.

The creative genius known as Vince McMahon has done it again. Why do you assume it is Vince's idea and not Neville's? Every Wrestler from this era has had a lot of input there chartacters. It is stated on record in various interviews. Yet people still think their character names and gimmick are completely imposed on them.

They could give him a soccer player gimmick since it's never been done.

Except I think "only WWE creations get pushed" means they had to be created IN THE WWE PROPER. Look at other NXT guys, and before that Eugene in OVW. I think to certain people there, it's still the 90s at least and we must put our mark on every "outside" star as if they came from WCW or ECW. True it could work out, but then you have people getting Red Roostered as well. They have no other companies to take it out on, so the farm leagues get to be the Butt Monkey now.

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?) He hit a pretty sweet rebound German on Owens. And he's a little ball of muscle. Almost Dynamite-esque. I can see them wanting to get some mileage out of his build by making him more than just a freakishly agile highflyer. As long as they stay away from "LOL his accent/ears" and don't make him all gimmick I'll be okay with it.

It is not 1984 or 1994 guys. Talent doesn't go to Titan Towers to meet Vince, Pat and Gerry anymore.

Ok, so what exactly is the change from what he is now? Basically, he's a small guy, but he's incredibly tough and beats people.

I call BS.
Still better than "lets laugh at this man who talks funny, but flies around alot" though which is what they'll probably go with.

And here I figured if anyone was a lock for a rodent-based gimmick, it was Konnor.

He's not as involved in creating them.

Next up, Sami Zayn will debut as "Felix the Cat"esque troublemaker, Kevin Owens will talk like Droopy Dog, and the Vaudevillains will be repackaged as "Fibber McGee and Molly"ish.

This is Cesaro is an actual huge person I got surprised when he dwarfed the f*** out of Cena.

Kind of reminds me of XPac during the summer of 1999 when he was trying to survive in the land of the Giants.
This gimmick achieved the impossible and actually made XPac interesting during that period (until his heel turn), so maybe it will work for Neville too.
