Twitter Question of the Day 5/24

Storified by Pro Wrestling Torch· Fri, May 24 2013 15:03:11

During Thursday's PWTorch Livecast, Chris from N.Y. posed a question on whether Curtis Axel using his father's name (Curt Hennig) will help or hurt him after being re-packaged on WWE TV. Today, we posed the question to PWTorch readers...
Twitter Question of the Day - Do you think WWE stressing Curtis Axel's pedigree as Curt Hennig's son helps or hurts his new push?Pro Wrestling Torch
@PWTorch I think it will help... but would have been better to just use his REAL NAME. #ifwwegotoutofitsownwayTommy Stryker
@PWTorch the stupid name hurts his push. keep it simple and use his fathers surname. Also why didnt he attack HHH when he was hurt? #heatDavid Ford
@PWTorch ... i think him getting slapped in the face then staring in shock trumps both.Cameron Hawkins
@PWTorch it'd help if they used his real name instead of this weird / awkward / quasi-moronic made-up name. Curtis ≠ bas-ass.Sarah Knight
@PWTorch It certainly can't hurt Axel. Mr. Perfect is a beloved and respected wrestler and hopefully his son will follow in his footsteps.The Matthew Gardner™
@PWTorch it helps only because it doesn't hurt. He will succeed or fail on his own merits and ability in the ring.Ryan Howe
@PWTorch It'll help him only if they push him solidly, rather than letting him get slapped around and not do much about it.Brad Millar
@PWTorch Only time will tell because he tried so hard to make it on his own merits and people may think he is riding the Henning name now.Renee L
@PWTorch It helps initially, but he'll eventually have to come into his own as Goldust, Randy Orton & others have done.Pat Baxter
@PWTorch it did for the rock & randy ortan...wwe can make anyone look good if they feel like they want to. hated the shield now i love them.tonyknows
@PWTorch Even with Goldust, it hearkens back to Dusty Rhodes' Stardust.Pat Baxter
@pwtorch it should help to point honestly the only legacies to really succeed are @randyorton and @therock #curtisaxelAJ Green
@PWTorch it will help at first but at some point will have to stand on his ownEric Cartman
@PWTorch It could drive to unfair comparisions, but Joe has the tools to be a solid midcard. Needs to develop his promo skills.Alejandro Bravo
@PWTorch at least they're acknowledging it....for years I assumed they never would.The One®
@PWTorch none of the Cena fans have any idea who Mr Perfect so it means nothing either wayLight Yagami
@PWTorch helps. For the fans 30-49 we relate to that character from AWA and of course Mr. Perfect. The youth might now find out who he was.Anderson Mifune
@PWTorch not really as most (like me) long term fans knew that...but heyman helps, BIG time!!Craig Byrne
