10 Current WWE Roster Members Who Are Beyond Saving

The Miztourage

""From this moment, from now. From this moment on. This'll be the moment, starting now, of the genesis of McGillicutty".

With that one promo on the second season of NXT (before those letters meant something in WWE), Curt Hennig's son was swimming upstream. Instead of looking like the offspring of Mr. Perfect, McGillicutty looked like a moron tripping over his words.

Despite WWE's gallant attempt to try again by putting the renamed Curtis Axel with Paul Heyman in 2013, the guy is back to making up the numbers. Admittedly, his Miztourage gimmick with Bo Dallas was a step in the right direction, but it's been undermined by Miz's move to SmackDown without his lackeys.

Worse, whilst Dallas has shown some potential on the mic recently, Axel still appears stiff, wooden and unconvincing. When the expert promo skills of Paul freaking Heyman can't get you over, you know you've got problems.
