#7 The genesis of Mcgillicutty
Curtis Axel was formerly known as Michael Mcgillicutty in NXT and was not a bad talker on the mic. But even the best superstars have their bad days, and Michael's came on an episode of NXT.
Trending
He lost NXT season 2 to Kaval, also known as Low-Ki, and looked visibly upset. When he was given the mic to air his grievances, he botched his promo in a glorious manner.
It seemed that Axel had forgotten his lines completely, and was fumbling a lot during his promo. His failed attempts to look like a badass by speaking in a heavy tone didn't help either. Michael ended his promo by saying something along the lines of,
"It's time for the genesis of Mcgillicutty."
He proceeded to leave the ring after the promo and knew that his promo was a complete disaster. Thankfully, he somehow managed to secure a spot on the main roster before being released by the company.
His promo was anything but 'perfect'.
