LooseCannon Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Curtis Axel and a fake scion of the Anderson family?
notoriusvig Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Axel just seems like the epitome of average to me, just like Roma. Of course, Axel still has time to get better, compared to Roma who was on TV until 94 and never really got better.
Cristobal Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Roma's ceiling was average, and he rarely bumped up against that ceiling.
Matt D Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Curtis Axel and a fake scion of the Anderson family? just like dad
Territorial Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Either comparison works for me, though I think Axel/Hennig more closely resembles Tim Horner - a good, technically sound wrestler who didn't have the right look and charisma to be a star for a larger company. Horner was just fine working for Continental back in the day (and for Smoky Mountain), He just wasn't cut out for a TV promotion.
Cristobal Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I think the Roma comparison is going to be a poor one unless we find out that Axel is like the biggest d-bag in the locker room.
jaedmc Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 You know, before 3Mb, I would say Heath Slater and Curtis Axel would be a great team. Heath would do the talking, stooging, bumping, and bring some speed and I'd tell Axel to stop with his dad's tribute stuff and focus on being a brawler, because the best moments in his matches are when he's methodically beating down an opponent.
dokdoyle Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Here is an Interview Paddy Quinn and I did with Tyson Dux. Talking about being an independent pro wrestler, stories working for WWE and what is happening with him in the future. This Interview originally aired in 3 segments on http://959sunfm.com
Greggulator Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I love how everyone has said for years that we need more managers so good workers/eh talkers can get over. Paul/Axel have that going on yet all anyone cares about is Axel's seeming lack of charisma. That's what Heyman's there for. Axel just needs to string together good matches for now (which he's doing). I think he's a perfectly competent worker with an awesome heat magnet.Heath Slater is absolutely perfect in his role. The best goofball stooge heel since the early days of Stevie Richards. Just take crazy ass bumps, do your windmill guitar and act like a total cocksure idiot who turns into a chicken at the very first opportunity. 3
jaedmc Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Heath Slater is great. Also, I'm the first person to ever appear on WWE programming with a homemade Heath Slater sign. FACT. 2
Matt D Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Will you ever stop embarrassing us? Also I was about to like Greg's post but I feel like he's going to get a big head. He's right though. That said, they're booking him like 1990 Heenan family Haku instead of 1989 Heenan Family Rude, so that's a little frustrating. 1
jaedmc Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Embarrassing us? I'm not the one bugging people for scholarly articles on the history of 80's lucha.

JRV Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Sorry to bring Ted back up, but I just think it's funny I kind of dug Ted Jr. a lot in NOAH, but could not give one shit about him in WWE. I'd always sing during his entrance. He comes from money/ he comes from class/ I'm skipping forward/ to the next match. 8

If you saw the picture of me on the giant scoreboard screen at the Phillies game I went to Friday after being selected Fan of the Game then you'll see I actually do have a big head. I bought a hat that night and it was extra large. Thankfully I've been with my wife for over 10 years so physical appearance means pretty much zero to me at this point or else I'd be a neurotic mess. 1

JohnnyJ Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 My favorite Ted Jr. memory is when he got the face push on smackdown and kept the auto-tuned spoiled rich kid theme for way too long.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I liked when Teddy was having tail gate parties with the fans. The Posse was in full effect.
T.Rex-n-effeckx Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Also, 46-year-old Riddick Bowe wants to get into wrestling. "Looking into get into pro wrestling partners. Contact my manager [email protected] if u can help. I want to be first heavyweight boxing champions and heavyweight wrestling champion. I have trained hard with those bumps." Big Daddy has a pretty great flip flop and fly.
Fallacy! Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 OK, this is the first video I've seen of Jim Neidhart in forever. What the hell is going on with him? Does he have Parkinson's or is the way he's acting in this video some side effect of all his drug use?
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I saw this over the weekend. Dude looks pretty fucked up. At least he answers the questions with some though out answers
cool arrow Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Source: http://pwinsider.com/article/79835/former-boxing-heavyweight-champion-wants-to-get-into-wrestling-and-its-not-mike-tyson.html?p=1 Meltzer (or Alvarez, whichever) also mentioned it in yesterday's daily update. (That's to T.Rex-n-effeckx.)
