Well, he's certainly a better option than Rob van fuckin' Dam, that's for sure. But I don't mean to demean Curtis Axel's rebrand and redebut last night. Listen, I know there are a lot of you out there (myself included, actually, so that makes the "you" into an "us") who wanted him to be named "Joe Hennig," but that wasn't happening. WWE likes to own the name. It's a shitty practice for sure, but it's an evil that ain't going away. All else being equal, it's a great name. More striking to me, he seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to one Harley Morenstein of Epic Meal Time. If this whole third-generation Paul Heyman guy doesn't pan out for him, maybe he can latch onto the WWE Universe's heartstrings as the guy who makes shock food with plenty of bacon and Jack Daniels. Basically, he can be Ryback's personal chef.
