WWE's Curtis Axel Tears Into Last Night's Controversial RAW Segment Involving LaVar Ball And His Sons
A particular segment on last night's episode of RAW is being called one of the worst of all time. An exaggeration? Well, Curtis Axel certainly doesn't think so. Find out what he has to say after the jump...
If you watched RAW last night, then you will have been subjected to the horror of former American Football player LaVar Ball and his sons with live mics being interviewed by The Miz.
It was easily one of the most misjudged, cringe-inducing pieces of television I've sat through in quite some time, and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, one of the mini-Balls said "n*gga".
Unsurprisingly, the segment came in for quite a bit of backlash, but even some within the company have decided to speak out. Curtis Axel, who recently joined The "Miztourage", shared his thoughts on the Balls while appearing on Minneapolis’ 93X Half-Assed Morning Show, and he didn't hold back.
"They don’t need to be on TV. Get them off. It was embarrassing. Looking at that from my perspective, it was funny backstage looking at it, but that’s not something that... you know, this is my opinion. The kids watch this show. It’s a kid’s program, we took it down to PG-13 and made everything kid-friendly, right? And for someone to come on there and grab the microphone and go off and do something outlandish like this and you were told... I guarantee they were told not to do it - it’s embarrassing.
And yeah, I watching it backstage and I was embarrassed. Growing up in the family business like this and seeing some guy... the whole family to me. Granted, you know the kid’s gonna be a superstar or whatever but the dad and the other guy, they do this on a program where my family’s busted their ass - it embarrasses me and it pisses me off. It sucks.
They went off on their own and did whatever they did to hype themselves up, so I was disgusted with the whole thing."
There are probably quite a few Superstars that feel the same way Axel does, but it'll be interesting to see if anyone else speaks up.
