shop.wwe.com/Curtis-Axel-%22Better-Than-Perfect%22-Authentic-T-Shirt/W06470,default,pd.html?dwvar_W06470_color=Black&start=1&cgid=curtis-axel Might have to mouseover the whole link and paste it that way. For just $25 you can own your very own Curtis Axel t shirt and show your support for the WWE superstar going straight to the top. My question is...you know what? f*** it, I quit.

The back should go on the front, right by the nipples...

It is a shirt that exemplifies who he is, which makes it PERFECTLY fine in my opinion. He cannot step out of the shadow of his father, so neither should his merchandise.

Michael McGillicutty = Flex Kavana
Curtis Axel = Rocky Maivia
Over pushed guy that they are trying to force on the fans. He's even using his daddy and grand daddy's names in his name.
Will he be able to overcome this and get over like the Rock did? Doubtful at his age.

Will he be able to overcome this and get over like the Rock did? Doubtful at his age. Stranger things have happened. I mean, did we ever think Tatanka would get that run he did in 2006? Once that happened, everything I was willing to believe could/couldn't happen went right out the window. Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation!

So you're predicting a gimmick where Curtis Axel becomes Native American? Eh, if Zack Morris can be, anyone can.

Once he becomes WWE WH Champion he could pretend to be Jewish to get out of defending his title!

It could also get us a Mario Lopez Mania appearance wherein he came to help Axel against his greatest challenge to date-- Marvin Needick.

Dude... a Zack Morris gimmick where he's the only guy who talks directly to the camera as if he's breaking the fourth wall and addressing the fans regarding all of his conflicts would potentially be great. Throw in the freezing time and the giant cell phone, and you have your new main event player.

It's pretty standard for a wrestling shirt. I mean it's nothing special, but it's better than this one for example.

Axel is every bit the same jobber he was as Michael McGillicutty except with more TV time. I don't think Rocky Maivia was ever blatantly made out to look like he didn't belong in the ring with the people around him like Axel.

I feel like Curtis would pack more of a punch as a heel if he was more blunt with his already fairly crude catch phrase. "I'm better than my dead Dad!"

I've said it a thousand times.
Any second or third generation superstar who wants to succeed, HAS TO be their own character. They can't be linked to their father in any way, because all it does is remind the fans how they don't measure up.
The Rock Goldust Randy Orton Cody Rhodes Bray Wyatt
You take ANY of those guys and put them next to their respected fathers, and it's a complete and total contrast. That's how you know they're talented.
Then you have Curtis Axel, Ted Dibiase Jr. and to a lesser extent DH Smith. 3 guys who didn't show enough difference in who they were and more about who they were related to. You need to be your own person. I guess the only exception to the "being your own person" is Sim Snuka. He sucked. The exception the other way, would be any of the Samoans, since they seem to kick ass just being Samoans.
You can throw the IC title on Curtis, you can reward Ted with the Million $ title, and you can give DH the tag titles and the Hart music...but it's not going to make people give a damn about them. Associated acts just make people want the real thing. And while WWE thinks the association is good, in reality, most people see it as a cheap imitation. If WWE really wanted to push them their father's genes, I would have done my "famous for being famous" gimmick, where all 3 slouch by without really trying and only caring about partying and living the lifestyle, sort of a Paris Hilton gimmick. The commentators could about how if they just applied themselves, they could be better like their fathers were. But I digress.

He denounced his dad's belt when he started having the best of 100 series with Daniel Bryan. And with the DiBiase Posse party stuff and became one of the hottest face acts in the midcard. Really the only reason he floundered was because the Brand Split ended and WWE lost the ability to focus on more than one midcard act at a time. And WWE PUT Curtis Axel in his father's shadow by renaming him and giving him a remix of his dad's music.
