#3 Curtis Axel
A lot of my wrestling friends give me constant grief over the fact that I am such a big fan of Curtis Axel. Sure, he has yet to show fans much at all, but for whatever reason, I still believe in the third-generation Superstar.
I was really excited when he was paired with Paul Heyman and given a run with the Intercontinental Championship. But, even that angle felt as if there was not much effort put into place to give Axel a really good chance at being a great Champion.
I get it, he certainly lacks a degree of charisma. That is a trait from his late father, which was not passed down. However, the kid can work, there’s no denying that. But, at the end of the day, these guys and gals can only go as far as the creative system allows them to go.
Curtis Axel has a lot of appeal that would guarantee him a lot of good booking opportunities if he were to leave the WWE. Using his family name, accompanied with his WWE accomplishments, as minimal as they may be, would help him make a great living, in the small towns.
