Curtis Axel, née Michael McGillicutty, is allegedly the son of legendary grappler Mr. Perfect. While the elder Hennig always seemed as though he'd been born in the ring with Harley Race as the midwife. Meanwhile, his son seems so uncomfortable, it's like the ring is filled with thousands of spiders only he can see.

Despite these crippling deficiencies, McGillicutty somehow found himself one of the final two participants on season two of NXT. In the final episode, he was instructed to verbally tear apart his rival, the diminutive faux-Asian Kaval (the segment begins at 32:51 on the video above).

Right out of the gate, Michael let fly with a bizarre nonsequitr, claiming that he didn't know if it was appropriate to spank or breast-feed his rival. Building off this shaky premise, McGillicutty would use this opportunity to show off his research chops, insisting that he'd looked up "kaval" and found it to be a kind of flute; he then instructed an embarrassed audience to look it up for themselves. Smelling blood, McGillicutty then decided to mock Kaval's jumpsuit by comparing it to a scuba suit.

"This is a ring, not a swimming pool, no matter how much you want it to be," he said, summoning the only relatively intense line delivery of his career and wasting it on an absurdity.

What a moment. A moment. Of McGillicuttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
