I Didn't Think The Ascension Could Get Any Cornier

As noted before, this direction for them has to keep them from being the new Wyatt Family or whatever, right? Right?

Unless Wyatt starts painting that winged lantern thing on his face, I can't see it.

(Seriously, is this going to be one of those rumours that will never go away until one of these three guys are fired?)

I LOVE THIS AND DONT WANT THIS TO CHANGE. Unfortunately it probably will.

If WWE reads this....do not change this gimmick

I perfectly endorse an old school nostalgic touch to the PG High-Definition John Cena era of the WWE. Interesting to have this "Old school raw" factor in the 2012-14 PG "reality" era. Old schedule ol raw every f'n Monday, a homage to the rock n wrestling era. Much better than a bunch of thrown together tag teams, or generic tag teams with no charisma. I for one WELCOME those bombastic "counterculture" characters, to see how they fit and interact with characters of this era of wrestling

Kratos, is that you?

I know i'm jumping the gun here, but this is a prime example of the different thought process of HHH vs. Vince/Dunn.

[Tom Turkey]

So in the span of a few years, the Ascension have gone from an Illuminati-esque conspiracy faction to a epic dark/evil tag team to a pair of metal/goth asskickers to a time-lost version of a 1980s paint & power tag team. Wrestling is funny sometimes.

I love it. Reminds me of a promo from the late 80s/early 90s (my favorite period in wrestling). And it looks like they're finally getting back to their roots, but with a new twist.

[Digital Witness]

I loved that promo, but I was left feeling like I needed a tent and the ingredients for smores after watching it cause that was absolutely camp.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

2 months of vignettes just like this.. 10 seconds, shouting cheese ball one-liners at the camera..INTENSE!!!

..Then they debut as dancing costumed animal cosplayers. Konnor of course a rat, and Viktor a seahorse.

[Johnny B. Decent]

To be fair, was them wearing Ming the Merciless-esque high-collar capes and leather armor any better?

[The Trashman]

After they beat The New Day there wont be much for them to do.

[Johnny]

I wasn't looking forward to these guys being called up, as I find them a little boring. This is positive step in my view.

[Germansuplex]

So they finally saw this:

SPOILER: Click to show

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I'm pretty sure I've heard Demolition use that Dine on Destruction line...

Eh... I don't mind it... I'm all for face paint... though something other than just random line on their foreheads would look better (oh and the eye of horus)...

ambivalent on the entrance gear stuff.

and really is what they are saying really any more corny than total anni-YAH-lation?

[Blindkarevik]

I'm honestly shocked Connor didn't say "WE SNACK ON DANGER, AND DINE ON DEATH!! OOOOOH WHAT A RUSH!"

[kidkamikaze10]

I guess somebody in the office finally played God of War.

So when Neville gets called up he's going to have a robot arm and a stupid trucker hat to go with the Red Arrow, right?

Shut up and take my money!

[Mozenrath]

I was actually just thinking the other day that other than the Brothers Dust, no one is really doing facepaint much (Balor hadn't worn his yet). So, I am sort of okay with this.

[CM Dazz]

I kinda liked it...

[KobashiChop]

If you listen carefully, you can actually hear HHH scream "GODF***INGDAMNIT" in the background.

["Dashing" Dr.VonPhoenix]

Watching this promo is like time traveling back to 1990... An eerie sensation, although not unpleasant.

[bearned]

That is hilarious. Campy OTT heels should be entertaining...
