Curtis Axel (Joe Hennig) is the future of WWE. The company is showing tremendous faith in him by putting him in the ring with stars like Triple H and John Cena.
He has won matches against both by count out and is managed by Paul Heyman. A recipe for success as a bad guy.
Some have said that he doesn't have the charisma that his father (Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig) did but that's why Paul Heyman is there. Also he is being booked as an angry, intense, young man who is mad about being looked over. Having an abundance of charisma could work against his bad guy character.
Things are looking up for the son of Curt Hennig and the grandson of Larry "The Ax" Hennig. I hope he has a lot of success in WWE.

NEWSARAMA reported last week(read the article here) that the rights to "Daredevil" have returned to Marvel after being at Fox.
Marvel can now decide if it wants to make another "Daredevil" movie or even a TV show.
Personally, I think Marvel would be smart to do a TV show. With "Daredevil" as a second tier character a weekly TV show could give him a much higher profile in the eyes of the casual fan.

Back in November 2012, I wrote a blog on the feud between Hulk Hogan and Matt Morgan (you can read it here). I predicted that the feud would lead to Morgan winning the World championship.
That could still happen but it's interesting to note the circumstances that could happen. Last Thursday(April 25th) Morgan said that he would take care of Aces and Eights in exchange for being named the #1 contender for the World title match at Slammiversary. Hulk Hogan declined and said that Matt was offering his help for the wrong reasons.
As a fan, it makes me wonder. Morgan is currently a villain who hates Hulk Hogan and TNA for not giving him more opportunity. This could all lead to Morgan becoming an anti-hero like Stone Cold Steve Austin in his early WWE run circa 1996-1998. At that time Austin was portrayed as a character that didn't like anyone or need anyone's help but would work with people if it served his agenda. The fans loved Austin's attitude and slowly he became a hero to the masses. People do like Morgan for his size and attitude so he might make a great anti-hero.
Morgan has put himself in the crosshairs of the Aces and Eights. I wonder if they will attack him and cause him to team up with men like Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, or Kurt Angle? Morgan can keep his heat by saying he's only working with them for revenge against Aces and Eights and once the match is over he can leave them behind if the odds become too overwhelming.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the coming weeks. Morgan could be working toward a great feud or even a World title or mid-card title. We just have to wait and see.
