Arn Anderson provided his insights on Curtis Axel’s WWE career during the latest edition of ARN on AdFreeShows.com with Conrad Thompson. Arn Anderson and Conrad Thompson reviewed the Fastlane 2016 PPV, which had a match between Curtis Axel and R-Truth. Axel was a part of the Social Outcasts stable with Bo Dallas, Heath Slater, and Adam Rose at that time.
Anderson believed that a big mistake was made when WWE didn’t let Curtis Axel use his real second name. Anderson felt that Curtis Axel should have been introduced as Joe Hennig, the son of Mr. Perfect.
Arn saw no harm in Curtis Axel using his father’s success to draw some hype during the initial days of his WWE run. Anderson said that Curtis Axel was a good worker and could have been packaged much differently for the audience.
The guy was very talented: Arn Anderson on Curtis Axel
Anderson explained that WWE might not have seen Curtis Axel as a major Superstar, which hurts a talent’s prospects. If the company doesn’t see someone as a big star, it directly affects the fans’ reactions to the said talent.
Curtis Axel’s alliance with Paul Heyman also didn’t last long, and it gave fans the impression that WWE wasn’t entirely behind Mr. Perfect’s son.
Curtis Axel is 41 years old, and he has not wrestled a match since leaving the WWE.
