Underused Award
Our Winner: Neville
In my opinion the most underused star of 2016 has been Neville. I originally had Sami Zayn and Cesaro penciled in for consideration for this award but at least they are being featured on WWE TV each week.
Neville won the “Breakout Star of the Year” Slammy Award in 2015. In 2016, he seems like an afterthought on WWE’s roster.
Neville did fracture his ankle early in the year, keeping him out of action for a few months. You would think he would be used on TV upon return, but it hasn’t really happened. Neville has appeared sporadically on WWE TV over the past several months since returning. He has been wrestling on live events but not in any significant tv programs.
Neville is incredibly fun to watch and there is certainly a place for him on the roster. A shame that he has went from breakout star to afterthought in such short time.
Hopefully 2017 means more TV time for Neville!

What happened to Ambrose at WrestleMania was a travesty. He busted his butt to promote that match and got stuck with an opponent that didn’t want to work with him and didn’t want to do anything but the bare minimum. If Ambrose had been working with anyone else but Lesnar, that match would’ve more than lived up to the hype.
That’s because Lesnar sucks!!! I am glad Goldberg beat his a$$ and now they can both disappear and go away and let the wrestlers who want to work go!! Concussing Randy Orton and refusing to work with Dean Ambrose…SMH Lesnar!
Lesnar is the worst kind of part timer, he gets paid no matter what so there’s no incentive for him to put forth any effort or do what the company wants if he doesn’t feel like it. It’s galling to think that Ambrose worked so hard and got nothing out of it. If it had been anyone else, Ambrose would’ve looked like the star he is, instead he was made to look like a loser because his opponent didn’t want to work with him.
