How the hell do you fail to turn Kristofferson's kid into a star? His talent should be irrelevant to that, he can coast on his dad's legacy. There insistence on giving everyone a name so they can own the name is so silly. Call him Joe Hennig, this Curtis Axel poo poo is stupid.

What's wrong with "Joey Perfect"?

Although the Curtis Axel thing is a reference to his lineage, too - so it's not just a random name.

I know. They even had Heyman explain it for the slower members of the audience when they introduced it. That doesn't make it not stupid.

"Mike McGillicutty" is stupid.

"Curtis Axel" is just trying too hard for a guy that doesn't have the charisma of his dad, but is talented in his own right.

Why can't they just go back to his second theme:

yeah this theme was fine and distinctive and fit him well so I don't know why they didn't just go back to it

It's not like they're giving him "American Males" or anything. Maybe the sirens are obnoxious and shouldn't go on for nearly as long as they do, but they're at least distinctive in the WWE right now, and they do their job as a stinger. I really don't think this is a sign of a burial (As opposed to his booking, which is, if not a burial, loving insanity).

Curtis Axel rules because he's excellent at arguing with kids in the audience, and his "Better Than Perfect" shirt is an amazing heel move I haven't seen before-- making a clearly untrue claim that's you're more talented than your very talented dad.

He is a very good worker. Hopefully they recognize him (I believe they do) as a dependable guy who can be slotted anywhere on the card and make anybody look good.

Cesaro coming out to "American Males" after his break-up with the Real Americans would have been amazing, though.

I think they do see this in him - otherwise, he'd have been "future endeavored" a while ago.

The Rock personally vouched for him when getting into shape for wrestling again.

Actually I think you'll find that if they gave him American Males he would be better, instead of being a jobber who loses miserably all the time.

I don't know why everyone here hates on American Males, it's unironically one of the best wrestling themes in history.

This is true, but Curt Hawkins also worked with the Rock and he got Future Endeavored a few months ago.

I'm going to agree with someone who earlier in the thread talked about Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. I just saw the movie. It was pretty much great and he's one of, if not the, best parts of it. The Leviathan done well.

It's an excellent match too. It was up there for my 2011 match of the year, but sadly most people overlooked it as a MOTY because it aired on Superstars and is less than 15 minutes. But they don't waste a second of it.
