This thread is exactly why Vince McMahon hates the internet and probably INTENTIONALLY screws with the marks just to see them blow gaskets and rant about stuff. So McGillicutty comes out with a song last week that you could very easily hear his father, Mr. Perfect's, theme in. The internet rejoices! He's a future World Champion and he should end The Streak, feud with Cena, win the Royal Rumble and his spot in the Hall of Fame is all but a certainty. WWE changes the theme....the internet is done with Curtis Axel. He's been totally ruined because his theme has less of his fathers theme in it now, which to the internet, for some reason is important. The bottom line is that if you can talk, you can talk no matter what your theme is. If you can wrestle, you can wrestle no matter what your theme is. The Undertaker could walk out there to the theme song from Wheel of Fortune, and you know what? He's putting on the best match of the night. The problem with Joe Hennig is that he can't talk OR wrestle, and the very short time he used a theme similar to his fathers theme was probably the high point of his tenure as "Curtis Axel". I respectfully couldn't disagree more. I don't think anyone said we wanted him to be world champion or end the streak or any of that stuff just because of his music. I think we all just said we really liked his music and there was no sense in changing it since so many people liked it. What if they immediately changed Fandango's theme a week after the crowd started singing it. Would that make any sense? I also disagree with saying your theme song doesn't matter. It does...just ask Ultimate Warrior. I also feel Undertaker is a TERRIBlE example as he is 90% gimmick creation. If he didn't have the gimmick, music, etc. then who knows where he would be. It's the whole package coming together that makes a talent...not just being able to talk and wrestle. |

It's the whole package coming together that makes a talent...not just being able to talk and wrestle. Fandango doesn't have a daddy in the Hall of Fame who's theme he was remixing. This is the problem with guys like Rhodes, DiBiase, Joe Hennig, and others who have famous fathers....on one hand, you want to acknowledge their family legacy and have parts of their characters pay homage to their family.....yet that also opens them up to criticism by comparison. The more things Joe Hennig does like Curt Hennig, the more aspects of his character or his appearance or his theme that are similar or straight up copies of what Curt Hennig does....it just opens him up to people comparing him to his father. "oh well, Mr. Perfect was better at _________", "Oh, well, Mr.Perfect never would have done it that way!", "Mr. Perfect was a way better talker than Curtis Axel." The took the name Curt and the name Axel as an tribute to his family, he uses the perfectplex....that's enough. Let's give him a chance to carve out his own legacy as his own man. As much as you people want him to be Me. Perfect Jr....it's better off if he just goes out there as his own man and tries to make a name for HIMSELF, instead of ride the memory of his father. |

I can understand where you're coming from but he isn't portraying "Mr. Perfect Jr."
Really the only second/third generation guy who played the same gimmick of their parent was Ted DiBiase.
In my opinion, acknowledging his father and grandfather is just a way to have people care about him UNTIL he can establish his own legacy. It helped that people remember Mr. Perfect and can associate him with Curtis Axel. However, in time (if all goes well) he will become his own persona and break away from just being Mr. Perfect's kid.
The same can be said for The Rock, Cody Rhodes and especially Randy Orton.
If him being Mr. Perfect's son will HELP him get over and HELP us care then why not address it?
