The Carroll County Times has a great interview with Curtis Axel, who was promoting tomorrow's WWE live event in Washington, D.C. Here is one special highlight:
If he had any input on the name "Curtis Axel": "When I became Michael McGillicutty, ever since that point, I was throwing hundreds of names at them. And I'm sure Axel Curtis or Curtis Axel was in there somewhere. I was talking with a guy that works for WWE, Joey Styles, he actually brought that name up as one of the possibilities. But they didn't want to go that route with me at first. They wanted to have me do my own thing and not even pay homage to anything to do with my family. Which, you know, is kind of nice, so I can try to do this on my own, and I tried to do the best I could with Michael McGillicutty without any TV time or whatever. But I'm sure that name was pitched as one of the hundreds I threw at them."[/quote]
