I Didn't Think The Ascension Could Get Any Cornier

I want to see vignettes of them in the real world, like them standing in line at a Panda Express in the mall.

I second this. The next week could have them try to return an item to a store without a receipt.

I think this would work...if it weren't 2014-15. These kind of gimmicks can't work when you have baby faces like John Cena and announcers who's job it is to just riff on the product. They'll make a ton of lame jokes about them until no one takes them seriously

Compare that to the 80s when Demolition was around. Demolition is a ridiculous gimmick, but the only negative things the announcers would ever say about them was "has Jack Tunney ever inspected those outfits? I'm not sure they're legal". Beyond that, they treated them as very dangerous athletes. You didn't have John Cena making S&M jokes and King replying to one of their promos with "Cole I bet they'd be a little nicer if they just had some Halls cough drops!"

Yep

100% true.

Probably in the minority but I thought this was great, corny as hell but I like corniness in my wrestling sometimes.

Konnor doing the weird shoulder shaking and stuff was extremely odd.
