I hope every week, Heyman says he has a new client and every week it's just Joe Jennifer with a new name

I wanted this to be RVD. But the minute the music hit, then I saw his face, I was ecstatic. He's one of my current favorites. They're finally giving him a chance. It makes sense when you think about it. Lesnar is his real-life friend. He (Lesnar) trained with Mr. Perfect in his early days with WWE in OVW. I can't wait to see this unfold.
Bonus... His Battle Pack figure might do what Sheffield/Ryback did.

Why? Because it is an amazing choice. He's a solid wrestler, he just needed a chance and a mouth piece which Heyman is. Axel will be star.

I don't get it. I mean, I understand Heyman obviously sees something in him and they think Heyman can turn him into a main event player, but still. The debut was just so lackluster and random. The guy was jobbing on Superstars a week ago and now here comes Curt Hennig's son using some lame techno remix of Mr. Perfect's theme with a goofy new porno-sounding ring name.

I'm hoping that this repackage is just what Hennig needs for his career, we'll see what happens next week. I think it's about time that brought him up.

He deserves it, and he will be a star.

How else do they build up people on the roster? They can't all debut and be big stars right away. You do understand where his name comes from, it's not just some random name.

TBH..I thought for a second it was RVD.
Glad the WWE is giving him a push...can't wait to see what happens.

I'm sorry, I just can't take someone who said they didn't know wether to spank or breastfeed Kaval seriously.

I freaked out when he was revealed as the Heyman guy. Like more so than I was gonna if RVD came back. I've always been HUGE on Mcguillicutty/Hennig. His new name will take some time to grow on me. But the theme already has, and the guy is talented enough to take this push and run with it.
I'm so so so happy this has finally happened!

Hemming deserved better and now he's getting it. He has always been solid and now it seems like they are finally taking him seriously. Timing is weird, having just lost to Sin Cara on Superstars, but its definitely a good thing. Between him, Ziggler as WHC, The Shield holding two titles, a new star main eventing in Ryback, and Barrett as IC champion to an extent show that WWE is finally starting to think long term and build new stars.

Its a horrible name. What the hell is wrong with the name Joe Hennig? Curtis Axel sounds like one of the wrestlers from No Holds Barred. There is zero chance of him getting anywhere with the name Curtis Axel. Joe the Hennig!!! I wish him all the luck in the world, but he is doomed with a name like Curtis Axel. Joe Hennig, no gimmicks, no "Joseph the Perfect Axe Hennig, just Joe Hennig, 3rd generation superstar. This is almost as big of a mistake as turning Ryback heel.

I want Curtis Axel to team with Mick Foley someday. Their theme music will be awesome.
Or maybe he could team with a guy named Kurt Wheel.

I think Axel Curtis would have been a cooler name.

People with weird names never get over Edge, Undertaker, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Gorilla Monsoon, Bobo Brazil, Sting, Sunny, Ax, Smash, Hawk, Animal, etc.

How else do they build up people on the roster? They can't all debut and be big stars right away. You do understand where his name comes from, it's not just some random name. You don't have a guy wrestle under a completely different name and then have him debut literally a week later with a new ring name. If he would've come out and then Heyman explained that Michael McGillicutty was the WWE's way of hiding his legacy, so he's now going by his real name, Joe Hennig, then that at least would've been somewhat more believable. I just don't understand how the WWE thinks we're supposed to believe this same guy who was losing on Superstars the last "X" number of weeks/months suddenly comes back a week after losing to Sin Cara and is supposed to be a main event player. At least with Jack Swagger (even though I've never liked him the least bit) they kept him off TV for a few months before bringing him back with this new gimmick. Oh, and aside from that - he has the exact same look as the last time we saw him on TV and when he was with Punk's Nexus. If you're going to revamp someone and give them a new name, gimmick, entrance music, etc. then change something about his appearance, too. Long hair, clean-shaven, Mr. Perfect's singlet - I really don't know what specifically. But to have him come out looking like the same old Michael McGillicutty was just super lame. They couldn't have at least printed up new tights with his new ring name on them for him to wear? And, yes, I know where the name comes from, but it's still totally cheesy to me.
