On one hand, that's pretty entertaining.

On the other, that's precisely the problem that lead to not having enough "star power" right now. After what seemed like a surefire start in his re-christening at the hands of Paul Heyman, he was relegated to comedy status and jobber meatshield within, what, like 3-4 weeks? Imagine for one second that Lesnar's debut was booked similarly... where he came in and 2x powerbombed people like he did at first, but only for like two weeks, then proceeded to lose every match and do shit to look dumb and weak just to prevent people from attacking Paul Heyman. He would have gotten nowhere near top draw potential, and would be mentioned in the company of guys like Heidenreich or Nathan Jones today. Axel is almost in the same boat as Cesaro... except that Henning* has a boat with more holes and a smaller bucket and less TV time in which to bail it out.

Even a (regular) stint in NXT would help him out. Book him to be a legitimate threat. Say he's focused. Give him televised victories to help get his stock up. That part of the "getting people over" equation should not be so hard, but WWE makes it like it is impossible.
