It was horrific writing and the fact that the girls involved weren't good (Surprise, genius writers!

And it's quite normal for WWE to be that unorganized and "figure shit out as we go". |

Also, Curtis Axel is not nearly in his dad's league, Fan. You stop that.

I'll have to disagree with all of you. The man is good in the ring and decent enough on the mic to get over. Just wish they'd give him something to do other than the comedy gimmicks.

Good in the ring and "decent enough" on the mic but better than his dad? Even if I agreed with that assessment of his skills, that would still be blasphemy. Maybe even more so. Are you sure you're not confusing Mr. Perfect with Shawn Stasiak or something?

Nope, just think that their is something in Axel. Him saying he was better than per feet was great because it draws heat towards him. I know he's not at his dads level was just using his catchphrase. But given the chance I don't see why he couldn't.

Because you can't teach charisma, that's why. It's the one thing he clearly lacks and no catchphrase or awesome theme music would change that.
I agree he could be a viable commodity but he's nothing more than a mid card act, at best. Nothing wrong with it but it is all he could ever be. |

Was Perfect anymore than that? The way he debuted was so great if they would have ran with that longer we could be talking about a WWE champ here.

Did I just read that Axle Hennig or whateverthe fuck his horriblename is could be as good as his Hof'er dad. Get real. I've never seen him sink every basket, bowl a perfect game or throw himself a hail mary.

Eddie Guerrero as well.
Either way I was trying to make a point that usually the children of really good wrestlers aren't going to be as good their Father's. Curtis Axel would fall into that realm. |

December To Dismember
Sandwiched between Survivor Series a week before, and Armageddon 2 weeks later, the first and last standalone ECW PPV (that wasn't a ONS event) was the moment that ECW as any remnant of the original company ended. Most the card wasn't announced beforehand, and seriously, who wanted 3 PPV events in a month!? The Main Event Hardcore Elimination Chamber made so many missteps with the "wrong" guy going over in Lashley. Heyman was relieved of his duties as a direct result of this shit-storm, and we got WWECW as a result. The newly structured show which became a feeder show and eventually led to NXT was in itself great, but it wasn't ECW. |

He's not decent enough on the mic to get over. If he was, he would be over. He was death on the mic. His ring work is basically opening card level, it hasnt improved.

Rock-Cena I believe was the biggest PPV draw in wrestling history. But okay, you didnt dig it. Rollins may not have been booked how you liked it, but if you look at his story arc, it was clear they planned his ascension for well over a year. |

So your brother would help someone beat you up, say he wish you died, pour food and drink on you, beat you up himself, and humiliate you on national television and ten minutes later you would laugh about it.

If his ring work was so bad why have him be the one to get Brock and The Rock back in ring shape when they return? Those guys are not going to train with someone who doesn't know what they're doing. As far as his mic work its, how's it death? His Better than Perfect gimmick drew heat and he was a heel. That's what heels do right? The Hogan stuff was dumb but he nailed it. A lot of people think the talent today is not as good as in the past but I disagree. The guys to day are way more talented in the ring just don't have the freedom that past generations had.

I think Axel is perfect being the guy who sucks that doesn't know that he sucks, sure that means he'll always be low card but it's good to be on that card than not at all, they should put him on TV again.
Wish they gave him a mini push for the ATG Battle Royal, there was a "preview" battle royal that Mark Henry won like 2 weeks before Mania, Axel should have gotten that win. Last edited by Big Vic; 11-12-2015 at 02:35 PM. |

You can give a guy a great gimmick, but if he doesn't connect with the audience, it's death. I don't watch every minute of every show, but I never recall Axel standing out. Physically guys today are infinitely more talented than even guys 10 years ago. But you can be able to do a backflip with your eyes closed but not understand how to bring a crowd up and down through the course of a match. |

I know. Look everything on TV is exaggerated. Plenty of TV shows or movies will have something happen between characters and then they work it out. I agree it could have and realistically should have been explained better on TV. But I really think they saw the angle as a failure and just wanted to hit the rest button. It's not ideal, but at least Nikki became a stud out of it.

That doesn't mean that WWE planned or expected for the YES movement and Daniel Bryan to become as big as they did beforehand. It's definitely not proof that they planned all along to put Bryan in the main event at WM. |

I'll sum up my position this way - I've seen WWE book a guy they didn't want to reach the stars. I've seen them book a guy they wanted to reach the stars. Bryan was closer to the latter than the former. |

Even long after they were done feuding, they ALWAYS seemed to tease tension between each other even when they had to team up. When they were both faces, you could sense they had respect for one another despite their bravado but they were still far from friends. In fact you could say the same thing about basically any face Austin aligned with the the Attitude Era. He was "cool" with other faces but never to the degree that faces unite together nowadays. You'd never see that nowadays. |
