His promos did zero for the Taker vs Lesnar match.
Love Heyman, but his latest run has been a dud IMO

I agree with all of this except Lesnar. Heyman definitely adds to Lesnar.
As for Cesaro, Axel and Ryback, I'd put that mainly on WWE not knowing what the fuck they're doing with long term booking. Guys getting a quick push and then getting forgotten about immediately and wasting any momentum right out of the gate has been the norm for years. Heyman can't really do anything without the guy being booked to be remotely interesting. There's only so much you can say about the guy when he's doing nothing of note.
Of course, it also doesn't help that Axel should never have gotten such a push to begin with because he's horribly bland.
