That gimmick is just too dated. Look at the guys that are going over: Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan...it's coming full circle to the territory days where there were always a few gimmick performers working, but most of the top performers in the promotion are normal looking guys (okay, normal guys that look like a million bucks, but still...) that get over on their overall charisma, promos, and in-ring work.

I loved them so much in NXT, but they've been booked like crapon the main roster.
What's the face paint about? And the cheesey lines? That's not The Ascension.

Yeah, they're dead in the water. The gimmick just didn't work, at all.

They are just straight up bad. No clue how they have had a contract as long as they have.

Never saw the appeal. But I wouldn't go as far as to say they are done already.

Wearing their shirt right now. I was so friggin excited for them to be on the main roster. I can't remember ever seeing them handle a main roster call up this badly.

Not a fan. I'm all for adding more tag teams but not them. They burned through the entire act down in NXT, to the point where I was over it before they even got called up. At 34 & 35, not looking very good physically imo and being terrible in the ring to this point, I'm completely content with forgetting they ever happened on the main roster. They're losing to the Lucha Dragons on a show nobody watches. The writing is on the wall. Well, to be fair, the Lucha Dragons did beat them for the NXT Titles. So, it's not like they're loosing to an absolute nobody team like New Day or Los Matadores.

Looks like they are officially a part of the "NXT wrestlers who get called up and fall flat on their face on the main roster" group with the likes of Bo Dallas, Emma, Adam Rose, and Xavier Wood. Xavier and Adam are doing WAY better than anyone else on your list.

He wasn't doing great, but he won a fair amount of his matches and got microphone time before going down with the foot injury.

How many NXT wrestlers have been called up and didn't end up floundering about? So far Rusev is doing well, but just wait until Cena beats him at Mania. Seth Rollins is doing great. Paige started out well then floundered a bit. Adam Rose, Big E, Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Xavier, Konnor & Viktor, Emma, and Summer Rae are all just kind of there. Unless you're the chosen one like Roman Reigns (who was barely in NXT) you are just one of John Cena's supporting cast.

The most notable thing he's done on the main roster is feud with El Torito. Adam should be doing better, but they keep giving up on him right when he has something going. And Xavier had something, got dropped, and has something again now, New Day isn't that big, but I think they have a lot of potential to go farther, they just need a little more time.

Oh yeah I agree there. None of them really had any direction. I just put Bo Dallas higher than Adam Rose and Xavier Woods since he would actually win matches and get mic time. It's better than losing, not talking and having no direction, but still not ideal.

It's better than losing, not talking and having no direction, but still not ideal. To be honest, I think a lot of people in NXT won't go far. They're too gimmicky. Adam (even though I love him), Aiden English, Ascension, CJ Parker, and others... I think they just need to cool it a big. Like Make CJ a hippy, but don't make it so over the top. Adam's is over the top, but I think that's the idea of his gimmick is to be a partying rock star. Wyatt's were, but there's that mystic behind them, so it drew people towards them. And I'm gonna throw this out there now, I think the reason The Ascension isn't working is because of Konnor. He doesn't fit. He seems so fake and stupid out there. This is him: I think it would of been better if Viktor and Cameron.

so The Ascension....
average wrestlers, cool theme, unique look, HORRENDOUS finisher. and victims of the worst/laziest booking of a tag team i have ever seen in my 25 years watching this company.
there is still time. keep them off the main shows until after Wrestlemania...bring them back in a few months to challenge for the tag titles, drop the comparisons to the Legends and just let them be intimidating.

I don't understand why the WWE would invest time to ensure the failure of a team. They are not imposing by any means, yet were compared to powerhouses of yesteryear, they were given vignettes that made them look like fools, their gimmick was outdated and poorly executed, and JBL poured gasoline all over the fire that was already raging.
It boggles my mind how they thought this team would get over.

At this point, they have the potential of early 2000's 'Headbangers'. Which is slim to none.
What happened to their little feud with PTP?

The Ascension you ask? .....Superstars.
Sadly. They have a unique look and entrance and could be intimidating, but they pretty much effed that up with the Legends Promos.. Redebut them after Mania and give them a new finisher, that thing is goddamn stupid.
They could be a cool addition to the division because they don't look like 2 thrown together dudes, but at the moment I think it's good that they are kept off the main shows.

What happened to the Prime Time players? I think I saw Titus for a second on RAW but they haven't been doing anything since getting back together.
