AxelMania
 

AxelMania is the only thing on raw this week that i actually cared about.

Can't say that but Axlemania is running wild. He should campaign to be put in the IC ladder match. Once he wins the Battle Royal and the IC title he puts himself in the main event and wins that aswell. Better then Perfect.

Lol it's fantastic, but you can tell how bad Axel is on the mic

Yeah his mic skills are awful

I give them credit. Curtis Axel is horribly uninteresting but this works.

I hate that his time with Paul Heyman was a waste. He made his debut and they tried like hell to get him over. I feel if Ryback had not been put in then things would have turned out better.

I like Axel, so I am glad he has something to do. I think Heyman's feud with CM Punk led to Axel's momentum being halted. That being said, he wasn't terribly interesting as a Paul Heyman Guy, but he was gaining credibility. It broke him out of being Michael McGillicutty. Sadly, it felt like Axel needed to break out of being Curtis Axel too recently. I'm glad this goofy stuff has kept him on television.

A few here will hate this idea, but I hope he shock eliminates Ryback in the Andre Battle Royal.

Axel needs to get WMD from the Big Show backstage at Wrestlemania, and when he wakes up Wrestlemania is over.

That would be something too. :y:

Could you imagine, Reigns is in the middle of the ring, holding up the title, confetti falling down, they cut to a shot of Axel waking up looking at the monitor and yelling "fuck!"

Lol I'm laughing at this already.

Better yet, Axel has a nap and misses the entire show.

Fuck you

Yeah let's not talk crazy here. Ryback is winning this.

Wait you people like Ryback?

Ryback should be World Champ. So yes.

What kind of question is that? It's fucking RYBACK.

Cenas obviously going to interfere.

I wouldn't mind if he eliminated Ryback and Rybsck never showed up again. Horrible Character.

I wouldn't either, repackage him again, 6th time is the charm

he's World Wrestling Nepotism personified

Are you insane? Why would you want to get rid of the best wrestler on the show?

Ryback rules mothafucka!!!

Lesnar gets Reigns up for the F5, Heyman is on the apron, handful of salt to the eyes of Brock.

Reigns hits the Spear. 1-2-3, New Champion!!

Axel comes out to check on Lesnar.

Heyman challenges his former client to a match there and then.

Brock gives his blessing to Axel, who goes on to defeat Reigns in 22 seconds.

I have a strange feeling that Cena costs Rusev the U.S Title on Raw to Axel, which will be used as the reason why Rusev fights Cena at Wrestlemania

And officially takes all the intrigue out of the match.

... I can see it happening, too.

That would be failure on so many levels.

I can feel the power of the Axelmania running through my veins!!!!!

Wooooo stickied thread!!

Then they pull the mask off Heyman to reveal he is old man Smithers and he would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids. Scooby Doo ending wooooo!

He's too close to Canada in Minnesota.

Curtis Axel "debuted" as the new Heyman guy, and then bumped to a slap by Triple H. Never recovered from that. :(

Axel should have gone for the kill when Triple H began selling the head. That was where they went wrong with Curtis Axel: Future World Champion.

You're usually right, so this will almost definitely happen. It's not what I would do, but I will not complain about another title reign for the best personality-less wrestler since Charlie Haas.

If they ever need to repackage Axel in the future, they could always call him "The Black Hole." Don't actually reference him being a black hole of charisma, but just play him up as this technical wrestling force that eats everything up in its path. You could get a few months out of him and a few mid-card title reigns and maybe a program with a few top face acts. Put him in a mask if people don't buy Axel's head anymore.

Axel's hairstyle makes him look too "normal" to me. He should either shave his head or do something radical with his hair to make him a mega-star.

Lol Axel is just so awful on the mic that he has a certain charm about him. So many ways to go forward with this gimmick. I hate how he's doing Hogan mannerisms. Totally not needed.

This "spot" is pretty perfect (no pun intended) for Axel. Usually I'd say they should play to their strengths, but in this case they're doing a fine job of using his weaknesses to make him into a valuable character.

Axel was about to become an NXT guy to find himself and work with younger talents too. Now he's got a spot each week.

So, what you're saying is he should be imitating Scott Steiner instead?

Henning* is getting better on the stick. He's leaps and bounds over that "Genesis of McGillicutty" shit show. Just needs time. If abhorrent talkers like Jeff Hardy and David Otunga can improve with time (which they did, in point of fact), so can Perfect's son or Roman Reigns. Axel needs to practice talking to get better. This "I've been in the Royal Rumble for X..." business a good place as any to start getting regular stage practice. If they simply shut him up, he'll NEVER improve.

Regal was able to milk his KotR victory for about two years. I hope Axel can get at least half that much momentum going. Have him inturrupt promos RNN/Jericho debut style, give him a Honk-A-Meter style Royal Rumble timer that pops up on screen and/or the Titantron when he brings it up.

AND IF HE WINS THE DAMN BATTLE ROYAL, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T LET THAT BECOME AN AFTERTHOUGHT WITHIN TWO WEEKS!!!

Axel will probably get WMDed during the Battle Royal and be taking to the back instead of over the top rope. He can then complain for not being eliminated from that Battle Royal either. So, he'll have two timers for the time he was in the Royal Rumble and the time he was in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

Him being the 123 Kid to the Cena/Rusev feud intrigues me. Not sure if Rusev's first pinfall loss should be used in such a non-important manner. If they do it that way Axel better jump on the momentum to make it matter.

Holy fuck, you just gave ne a great idea,

They should bring back the KOTR, Axel gets knocked out backstage or something and misses his match. The KOTR ends and Axel keeps coming out with a crown and stuff and refers to himself as the real King of the Ring since he was never able to compete. Have him use Jerry Lawler's music. King Curtis Axel.

He does sort of sound and talk like King Curtis Iaukea. (The Master)

TITTIES MANIA!

*King Curtis Hennig

The more I think about it, the more I think what Gertner said about Axel beating Rusev next week will come to fruition. That way Cena can put over Rusev real fucking strong at WrestleMania and not be anchored by the US Title (and you know the WWE sees it as an anchor) or go over without actually winning the title.

I think something like this could settle the title into being more of a tertiary belt too. I'm not saying they should make it such, but I can see them having Axel hold the title until they put it on Damien. Meanwhile the IC Title gets a run with Bryan.

Needs to go all out like Jay Lethal did with the Black Machismo gimmick.

Jay Lethal is still only 29 years old. I wish ROH would get serious or that the WWE would take a look at him.

Then we could have the Mega Powers

Lethal & Axel as Tag Champs forever.

I wonder if they will be surprised if Axel gets cheers Monday, for 2 reasons:

1. Axelmania is running wild for the fans.
2. Rusev is just that hated.

3. He's been in the Rumble for 6 weeks+ and STILL hasn't been eliminated, BROTHER!

Exactly, BROTHER!

I think you mean 5 weeks and 8 days!!

Didn't Dean Ambrose throw Axel over the top rope on a RAW somewhere?

Yes.

He's already the winner since Roman Reigns left the ring at the Royal Rumble.

Yeah, but that was on Raw, not at the rumble. Doesn't count.

But did he leave over the top rope?

He never entered the ring though...he might as well have not even come out from backstage...I don't get this joke/think it is very funny

... and when that has run its course, he can become THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS KING HENNING* and start using Prince Iaukea's "Purple Rain" theme and have Booker T's wife accompany him.

I feel like I posted this somewhere, but I can't remember where... RAW thread?

Actually, I hope he keeps getting accomplishments that aren't really accomplishments. Not eliminated from Rumble, KotR without competing, stuck in another "malfunctioning" Elimination Chamber pod, gets on a traditional Suvivor Series team and is unable to compete, so he never actually gets eliminated, so even though the other team "wins", he can say he's still competing in THAT match too! Have him win more Slammys than anyone else (for stupid categories, to boot).

Keep the gimmick silly, but let him be serious in the ring. Actually have him get off Perfect Plexes and neckbreakers (he doesn't have to ape Hogan completely and use the boot & leg drop, though I fear that is where this is headed) and win matches. Keep some of himself in the bit.

His neckbreaker is actually quite magnificent. He should certainly keep that.

If this doesn't lead to this, it will have been for NOTHING.

Could this last all the way to next years Rumble. What if a retuning alum at tacks Axel before he gets in the ring for the ATGBR.

I had a weird dream that the WWE expanded and started a new territory system to develop talent. Axel went to Puerto Rico and defeated Carlito to become the WWC Universal Champion and cut promos about how some people claim to be the Champion of the World; but he's the Champion of the Universe.

Would be " perfect " if he was to win a title.

Please don't fantasy book titles onto Curtis Axel, they are already devalued enough.

Its really sad that he has taken the comedy gimmick. I was really hoping he would be something when he debuted the Curtis Axle character.

Axel reminds me a lot of Charlie Haas.

That mini Battle Royal on raw was pointless, but it would have meant something if Curtis Axel won.

If this gets legs, I hope they don't do this the same way Fandango did. Just give a feud, and let him get house on his own terms...

y is this thread sticky, what's the joke...

I don't know? I assume it was because of the whole Axelmania storyline, and it was being kept up to Wrestlemania. I originally stickied it as a joke, but I noticied it had been un-stickied and re-stickied recently.

You other mods have anything to say?

Yr whey two close too Sixx figured posts afif.

Who the fuck unstickied this!!!!!! Probably anti-fun Destor

Triple A did I assume.

It was Snoop Dogg that un stickied it after he threw him out the ring.
