I know it's too early since they just debuted on the main roster, but the comparison to Demolition and LOD has drawn a lot of negative feedback from the casual fans. Now not all of the casual fans very intelligent, so idk if Ascension's doing good so far or not.

There heels, they're suppose to be hated. They just need a decent feud.

It's 2 weeks in....

I have a feeling they're going to shit on a bunch of legendary tag teams and a certain team that's... over... in Philadelphia will return at the Rumble to teach them a lesson.

Them being shit is what's hurting The Ascension.

they suck

3MB baybeeeehhh oh wait :V you mean The Dudleys or The New Age Outlaws?

Well their backstage shit isn't helping them.

The Ascension are pretty legit

Yeah making fun of a dead guy and whatnot

Blame creative for writing that promo

Well I can blame Adam Rose vs. The Bunny on them too. But it doesn't hurt their star power.

The only thing I've ever liked about The Ascension is their entrance music. I don't think they're particularly great in the ring and their mic work is pretty shoddy. That being said, booking them in a squash against Murphy and Sully from the local pub every week isn't doing much for them.

Their entrance music is awesome. I like the titantron too. I thought based on the imagery they'd be paired with Bray Wyatt on the main roster.

I think the biggest problem is that for the most part, the WWE's tag division is a mish-mash, thrown together mess. Back in the day, you had legit tag teams. Now, other than the Usos, the tag division is full of teams that were thrown together because the bookers didn't know what else to do with them. So unfortunately, a team like The Ascension don't have too many options as far as other teams to feud with. That doesn't help their booking.

^ What about Gold/Stardust?

I think they were put together because the bookers didn't know what to do with Cody.

But they are still a very viable tag team.

I dunno?  They are capable of putting on a good tag match, but they just don't "feel" like a real tag team.  The Ascension feels like a real tag team, like the old school teams of the Golden Era. Too bad they're not as good as those old teams.

Well that's how most tag teams in WWE have been put together for years. They don't want to recognize wrestler's past history. It seems the only way to last as a team in WWE is to actually be related to each other.

I think it's how the delivered that promo is the problem. It didn't sound remotely convincing. I personally wouldn't have directly mentioned the two teams everyone was probably thinking they were replicating, because now everyone just gonna' say they're shit knock-offs. Also booking them against literally two nobodies managed to make them look weak imo, rather than strong. I think they've got good potential and if WWE keeps them around, I imagine they'll get toned down and eventually become something like the APA (before the APA became known for just beer drinking fighters).

Their entrance theme is fucking amazing, though.
