What I Want For Axelmania Tonight

I want to see a training montage where Axel is training like Rocky before he fights Drago. I think this could send Axel's popularity to the moon. Something along the lines of this video but replace Stallone with Axelmania...

YES! lol. Axel is really pulling this whole thing off. Would be cool if it was Hulk Hogan getting him g'ed up lol. They did the whole Rocky thing with Santino (fucking hilarious) so I don't know if they would do it again soon lol. But they definitely can afford to go even cheesier with this shiz lol.

I think it would be funny if Hogan was Axel's trainer in weekly montages like that and he was building up for a US title match against Rusev. Obviously Cena vs Rusev is more appropriate for WM, but perhaps it could have worked if it was done sooner or for a prior PPV.

I reckon it's much harder to get somebody over than it is to sustain overness. His character and his mic work have always been his two weak points. He's more than solid in the ring, so fans aren't going to shit on his matches if he gets a push.

I don't think anything will come of the whole Axelmania thing, but now is the best chance Axel has had in a long time. People thought Tyson Kidd would never go anywhere. He developed a character down in NXT and now he's making out well as a tag team champ.

Axel got a character thrown in his lap due to internet backlash and he's running with it. This isn't the same Axel who cut the "starting this moment, from now…from this moment on, this will be the moment, starting now" Genesis of McGillicutty promo. This is a new and improved Axel who, in the past few weeks, has been playing his character to perfection.

I think as long as they can keep Axelmania going strong until after Mania season, Curtis Axel will have crowd support on his side and fans will be more open to him getting opportunities in the midcard.

If they don't give him the title tonight, expect this to get comically worse. I mean crowds hijacking the show for Axel. We haven't forgotten Zack Ryder. We will not let this comedy die without a fight, WWE :p

Curtis Axel is boring on the mic.

I never saw axel win a match or not loose in 3 minutes.
So a match would be ok to me.
WWE should really try out if axel has good 10 minute match wether if he looses or not.
Why: Axel and Sandow have great crowd reactions right now but lost everything and wrestled not a lot. Maybe this is part of the crowd movement.
there are other similarities but i would be interesting what draws people to love the poorest loosa in the bizz
