#2 Curtis Axel

I've always been a fan of this guy, but it's just not working

I'll be honest, this one hurts to admit. If you know me, or if you've followed my work for a while, you probably know that I have always been a strong, unwavering supporter of Curtis Axel. I've often debated his value in wrestling forums and random social media posts. Honestly speaking, Axel has a plethora of untapped potential. He has a strong family bloodline of legendary wrestlers, with his grandfather and father both being highly successful during their respective eras.

Unfortunately for Curtis, he just hasn't been able to put the pieces together. I can't explain why, or what has happened or what have you. All I know, is that Axel has been pushed, with Paul Heyman in his corner and the Intercontinental Championship around his waist, yet was still unable to get over and reach the level expected from him.

At 37 years old, it's time to cut their losses with Axel and let him move on. Especially if Curtis still has a desire to wrestle. If he's let go now, he still has time to jump to another company and take a shot at making a name for himself there, wherever "there" may be.
