I really want Curtis Axel to succeed, but I just feel like he is missing that "thing" people need. His match with Justin Gabriel was pretty good, but that's never been a concern with Axel. The running knee finish made him look more brutal and focused, but he's always had intensity when he's spoken.
I was thinking watching that match though: I wouldn't be opposed to seeing The Authority put Dolph Ziggler in an Intercontinental Title match at Survivor Series to soften him up. Use a loophole where he is obligated to defend the title or something. Ziggler and Axel can have a fifteen-minute match where Stephanie screws Dolph out of the title Montreal-style, and Axel gets a second run with the IC Title as Dolph has more reason to bring the fire in the main event.
Then I realised that would all work better with Tyson Kidd.
