Styles is one of the best in-ring performers of our time

#3 Neville

WWE Live 2017
The crowds loved him for it and his high flips and airborne mentality were praised more

After him and gravity made up, Neville obtained the crown as the King of the Cruiserweights. This gimmick was an unusual match for his move set, because "holier than thou" gimmicks are generally given to wrestlers of the bigger frame.

But he made it fit him perfectly as this gimmick would give his career the boost it needed.

He makes moves like the running hurricanrana and the Middle Rope Phoenix Splash look easy. His imploding 450 splash was always a thing of beauty.

So effortless, so graceful, so free, his moves were always complex but being able to do some of the most insane high-flying moves gets a better reaction when you've had a heel turn like Neville did.

Despite being a cocky bad guy, the crowds loved him for it and his high flips and airborne mentality were praised more.
