Axelmania's Runnin' Wild Again, Brother!

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

Axel is apparently rocking back the Axelmania bandana at house shows. If you needed a little proof that the Hogan/WWE tension is dying out, then there you go.

[mrbananagrabber]

God almighty. What is even the point at this stage?

[schma]

I actually preferred it when it wasn't overtly related to Hogan. Some could draw the conclusion but Axelmania was more about it being his time. Then they turned it into some kind of Hogan impersonation thing.

Christ, just make him the idiot jock bully character he's been over with before.

[Push R Truth]

If it gets him on TV more I'm for it

[Pushed to the Moon]

They're just trying to replace Hulkamania with Axelmania by creating a legacy that destroys anything Hogan ever accomplished. Just you wait. In 10 years you'll have forgotten who Hulk Hogan even was.

When was he ever over?

[RIHT]

He totally could be a good-hearted babyface character. He's good in the ring, and has a good legacy fans want to support. Don't think serious heel works for him, and I think he's better than nobody comedy heel, too.

What's with the Jimmy Johns logo? Was he wrestling Brock Lesnar?

...I don't recall Rybaxel being over. I only recall the shitty trumpet in their theme mashup.

Axelmania was brilliant before they got so literal with it. I wish he were still bitching about not being eliminated last year, would have been a great lead in to some comedy spot this time around.

The entire point was him calling Wrestlemania that originally... he evne said something like Paybaxel or whatever the next PPV was before they teamed him and Sandow up.

2015 Royal Rumble winner Curtis Axel is the only time I've ever been entertained by Curtis Axel.

[The Yes Man]

I feel like he just said f*** it and put the bandana on for shits and giggles.

[Alice Syndrome]

Hate wins.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Hulk Hogan can still EAD as far as I'm concerned. f*** that orange goblin.

[The Thread Barbi]

Why don't they just run a "Son of Perfect" gimmick trial. It might catch on.

[________ has left the building]

So will he be feuding with Darren Young, R-Truth, or Titus O'Neil?

[Dang!]

I agree. No matter how much of a legand he is, he has f***ed up beyond repair. I never liked him as an in-ring character and he's even worse outside the ring. He can stay lost.
