Very underwhelming after all the FAN hype. With that said, a 2 minute squash match probably isn't the best measuring stick but they didn't half look stupid. Don't know what kinda hype there could actually be since it was near universal they sucked (well Konnor at least). Seemed all there was, was excitement over their new look but from their first video I kept telling y'all it was bad. Someday y'all will listen to ok' Ric.

Out of shape couple cosplaying as LOD is my initial impression. But I'm happy to see another tag team in this dwindling division, so I'm glad they've...uh...ascended.

There was a bit of hype regarding the videos/promos they had, should have clarified.

I don't actually know which one is which, but one of them is way too small to pull off wearing Road Warrior gear.

I'll say what I did in the raw thread.
They look like Marv after he got hit with the iron in Home Alone 2.

When the theme song started playing, I thought CM Punk was about to come out.
Seemed like an OK debut. Nothing special though. No psychology, finish was just there.

The outfits looked kinda silly in the promo vids, but not too bad. In that bright-ass arena though? They looked hilariously low rent, like an ironic comedy act.

It was alright. Don't get why they had them debut against heels, though.
Are people going really going to write off another act after an underwhelming debut yet again?

Vince and Dunn are just going to utterly ruin all the NXT Callups, calling it now, it's gonna be brutal to watch.
And even before the Ascension, it already happened with Big E, Paige, Bo. This "Changing Gimmicks for no reason" bullshit completely devalues everything these competitors BUILD upon to a worldwide audience. Vince doesn't seem to realize this isn't OVW any more, everyone sees them because of HIS network, they are getting over with the gimmicks on NXT, and completely changing them, kills the momentum instantly.
By the day HHH looks more and more like the guy who knows what he's doing and Vince doesn't.

They look like two dudes dressing up as the Road Warriors for Halloween. Not even joking, whoever let them walk out there looking like that deserves to be fired. Impossible to take them seriously when they look like that.

If only. Their debut was underwhelming to me. There was the perfect opportunity to debut them by having them attack the Usos which would've had them make an impact right off, but they threw them in a pretty throwaway match instead. I just don't get it.

It was a confusing debut match. You've got Miz being punished by getting this match. So Ascension comes out and I'm thinking "oh great, I'm supposed to cheer for them because they're gonna kick Miz's ass. Then Miz tags out and it's Mizdow, so then I'm supposed to boo Ascension instead now? Really dumb booking. Not a shock that the crowd had nothing to invest in. No logic in the booking whatsoever.

Then Miz tags out and it's Mizdow, so then I'm supposed to boo Ascension instead now? Really dumb booking. Not a shock that the crowd had nothing to invest in. No logic in the booking whatsoever. I kind of understand them putting The Ascension out there to destroy Mizdow. Mizdow has been so over with the fans that having The Ascension squash him SHOULD get huge heat. But it would have been way more impactful for them to interrupt the Usos.
