Nah, Neville has a good 10-15 pounds of muscle on Balor (Pause)

But shyt, everyone gets a little bit more freedom and seems more charismatic as a heel. You don't have to be a blank slate for the children/females/casuals in the audience and can do what you must to get heat. If Balor were to go full Bulletproof, Fookin' New Japan, Shooter Balor he'd be the 2nd most over person on the roster behind AJ.

Neville is a beast but by no means does he have better charisma. If he did, he would be more over than Balor but he's not and has never been (and likely will never be, as a babyface).

They both had runs as NXT champion... Balor got superstar reactions, Nevile got respectful lukewarm pops. Babyface Neville didn't come across as a star at all. Heel Neville can absolutely reach main event status though. He's establishing himself as a killer in the CW division. That's the perfect way to build him as a threat in the heavyweight division. Does anyone not see Neville as a more credible threat in the HW ranks than before his CW run? His booking is working perfectly.

Balor is Reigns Jr in the sense that that a majority of the women in attendance apparently get wet over him, the difference being that the type of fans who boo Reigns generally fukk with Finn because he has Japan cred or whatever. Why wouldn't "Reigns Jr without the boos" get a mega push?

Neville is the best champion in the company right now*. He puts on dope matches, has good promos and great character work. They also book him perfectly.

It's a shame people don't give a fukk about the cruiserweights.

*Brock is lazy in ring and rarely wrestles.

One looks like a star the other looks like a wrestler. Not a jab in any way at Neville who is beasting the fukk out right now. It's just the way it is

Even with his weird nerd quirks and limitations on the mic you can sell merch to women and kids with Finn any time you want. That matters.
