Curtis Axel decided to respond to Konnan's recent comments about him being "boring". Axel tweeted the following:
"Well what do ya know! Looks like @Konnan5150 is trying to gain social media popularity by talking about a REAL Superstar!"
This one comment by Axel opened the floodgates for Konnan to run amok with further insults. While Konnan's initial response revealed that he "had nothing against" the Intercontintental Champion, he also reiterated his original point: "u just have zero charisma".
Konnan has since made many statements about Axel, his lack of ability, and more, including the following:
"Poor Curtis, cant take criticism and he is a heel..Unbelieavable"
"not personal, dont even know da guy..good wrestler, just no charisma..Jealous of what?"
"yeah, i really crave attention from Curtis..#CmonMan"
"no beef, just a wwe guy acting like a jaybrone, cause he cant handle criticism"
Konnan isn't the first and only person to criticize Curtis Axel, compare him (negatively) to his father, or question his star quality. Axel responding to such criticism, however, is quite rare. I highly doubt they'll be any further retaliation on Axel's part, as WWE management will see to that. On the other hand, Konnan will likely have plenty more to say. You can follow him on Twitter if you're interested @Konnan5150. You can follow Curtis Axel @RealCurtisAxel.
