Neville was really good as a very subtle heel against Zayn for the NXT title.  I appreciated that they were avoiding the cliches.  He did what it took to win, he didn't mince words or bite his tongue when talking about Zayn's failures, but he also wasn't doing the standard running away or lying.  People kept expecting him to cross that line but he never did.  I enjoyed that feud a lot.

Heel Neville is everything I've wanted.

A heel that is an actual threat. (I'm looking at you KO)

Edit: I'm watching 205 live and he's threatening and scaring members of the crowd. This is gold!

 

Chickenshit heels are popular among Vince McMahon - majority of all the heels have been like that despite showing agression at times.

 

Triple H, Seth Rollins, etc.

 

Maybe now Neville will actually get a decent push, he seems to be better personality wise as a heel than a cookie cutter face.

Rollin's title run was frustrating as well. But at least they let him shine in the ring on the odd occasion. Like at night of champions against Sting and Cena, and when he beat dean Clean in that ladders match. 

With KO he can't get a clean win over a title contender, and KO can go in the ring he really can but they haven't really let him and it's just frustrating.

With Triple H at least he looked lilke a mofo'in badass and was a legitimate threat becauseof his size and the way he was in the ring, and sledgehammer etc.

So there was this massive ice storm that blew out the power across the area on Christmas day. I missed everything. Did I miss anything?

Smackdown had a ppv like event and drew more ratings than raw this week.

Figures. I'll have to watch it sometime here.



Best feud would be an interesting one. I cast an early vote for Roman Reigns vs. the WWE Universe.

I've also seen opinions all over the place for best female wrestler.

Interesting that almost no one is saying New Day for tag team of the year, though they set a record.

What about best show of the year?

WWE.com did their top 25 Matches of the Year and the top two were NXT. http://www.wwe.com/article/top-25-matches-of-2016

1. The Revival vs. #DIY — 2-out-of-3-Falls NXT Tag Team Championship Match
2. Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (NXT TakeOver: Dallas)

Absolutely two of the best and they deserve all the recognition.
