#2 Curtis Axel

Enter captio — From former Intercontinental Champion-to-obscurity

Once again I am listing an individual whom I'd rather not. In fact, I wish there was a way to change everything and have Curtis Axel on the winning end of some sort of mid-card push at the very least. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen and it appears WWE's creative brass has very little interest in elevating the Ax-Man.

I will give credit to the company for the time the did give Axel a shot. Afterall, not many WWE Superstars get the luxury of having Paul Heyman as your mouthpiece, much less while you carry the Intercontinental Title as well.

As a younger WWE fan, I loved watching Mr. Perfect. That gimmick fit Hennig perfectly and he knew it. Hennig had a plethora of charisma, but unfortunately for his baby boy, that charisma was not passed through the generations.

Curtis Axel would likely make a great coach at the WWE Performance Center, but his days as an in-ring contender are likely nearing an end.
