During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Chris Jericho became the latest high profile name to comment on Neville walking out of last week's WWE Raw and while his decision to do so shocked many of his fan Jericho said he wasn't surprised:
"It doesn't surprise me because I think a guy like Neville, whenever I worked with him we had great matches," Jericho said. "He reminds me a lot, actually, of working with Chris Benoit in that he's very hard-hitting, he's very solid, very graceful and not stiff in the least, just a really innovative, smart worker. I think he wasn't really getting his shot in the WWE, and the cruiserweight thing is fine but let's be honest, it is what it is. I think there's a lot higher potential for a guy like Neville in the ring and also the character."
He added that walking out of the building last week wouldn't have been a decision taken lightly:
"It's a big step, it's like walking off the side of a building and being told that there's a net at the bottom, but you can't see it," Jericho said. "So you don't know for sure if he's making the right decision as of right now. But talent-wise, character-wise and intelligence-wise, he's got all three of those things. So he's not making this decision lightly, and I think wherever he ends up he'll be probably a bigger star than he was before just by getting a bigger opportunity."
