What level of a failure is Curtis Axel?

[LastEmperor2k2]

This whole Curtis Axel experiment has been a big flop in my opinion.

The real point where you noticed he was flopping was his MITB interference.

Heyman's being wasted on the guy, he should have chose the Uso's, Cesaro or even a developmental guy

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

I like him

I just dont understand why he has to speak though. Let Paul do all the talking for him.

He the most believable IC champ since Cody

 

[ML29]

I think he's okay but I would've rather seen Heyman Paired with Cesaro or Dibiase Jr. Even splitting Big E from AJ and Ziggs and making him a Heyman Guy could've been cool.

 

[I-Hate-You]

He's garbage.

Forcing him as a Heyman guy was probably the only way he'd ever get on TV, but he's clearly not a Heyman guy.

 

[Pammy91]

He's not the worst I've seen but he's just not entertaining to me. I wouldn't call him a complete flop this early though.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I like him. I still think he should just go by his real name though, but whatever. Dude is solid in the ring, regardless

 

[KingDanz]

He need to raise his voice during his promos...

 

[Jamal514]

He's still Michael McGillicutty to me

 

[Tres Leches]

the fail is that he's still terrible on the mic..how have they not worked with him on this? or at least let heyman do all the talking

 

[Jmare007]

He needs a proper feud before I completely lose hope in the guy. He's in midcard limbo right now and that's the worst position for any wrestler that wants to be "somebody".

 

[Mr.Black]

told yall nikkas dude was a scrub, nikkas talking bout "give him time", nikka had 3 years prior to make me give a fukk about him and didnt, atleast titus o'neil made nikkas forget that make it a win shyt, i vividly remember this nikka's sega genesis of mcgillicutty promo

him and cesaro should switch spots

 

[Shadow]

Dude is just boring to me. It's the same guy as before with a new name.

I was hoping for Cesaro to be the 'new Paul Heyman guy' months ago and I was like when it turned out to be Axel. Then they kept bringing up Heyman managing guys like Big Show, Lesnar and Punk. Like that means anybody Heyman is behind is gonna be interesting. Then they had him feuding with HHH and HHH just stumbling around outside the ring not able to get back in, had him going against Cena and everything all of that stuff was just had me and . I still think Cesaro should have been the guy in that spot. I know people call Cesaro boring too but he at least impresses with his in ring work, I do think he would have been a great choice.

Every time Axel comes out I'm just and they way they were hyping him so hard was just . I mean, he's okay in the ring but they had that dude going up against HHH and John Cena! They did the same thing with Tensai, had him beating Punk and Cena and all the while the crowd was just

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

of that pack of NXT/nexus guys, I'd rank them (in terms of SUCCESS or overness)

Daniel Bryan
Bray Wyatt (yes, already)
Ryback
Wade Barrett
Heath Slater
Curtis Axel
Darren Young
Justin Gabriel
David Otunga
Michael Tarver
Mason Ryan

so...yeah not a TOTAL FAIL like some of them dudes, but he's not made it yet

 

[DaHNIC82]

It doesn't help that they treat the IC belt like certified European belt status

 

[Singh]

He's when it comes to in-ring ability but on the mic

He needs to step it up character wise Coke Boy ain't going to just sit around and keep waiting for the motherfukker to figure it out.

They should of kept him away from White Mike as well. Some whackness rubbed off on him via association.
