10 WWE Superstars who couldn't live up to the hype

#7 Curtis Axel

No one gets hyped quite like a WWE Superstar following in a famous relative's footsteps. Charlotte Flair is a successful example of that, as is The Rock. However, Curtis Axel is a man who has not lived up to the hype as of yet.

The Miztourage member is the grandson of Larry Hennig and son of WWE Hall of Famer, Mr Perfect. With a pedigree like that, fans were expecting big things from The Axe Man. At one point he was even a 'Paul Heyman Guy'.

Paul Heyman and an Intercontinental Title run were unfortunately not enough to help shoot Axel to the moon though. Clearly, WWE doesn't see the same thing in Curtis that they saw in his father and he seems destined to play a comedy act and a stooge.
