10 WWE Superstars Who Better Call Paul (Heyman)

By Jamie Kennedy /

10. The Ascension

The Ascension are one of the more intriguing tag-team acts to come down the WWE pipe in quite some time. A throw back to tandems like Demolition, The Powers Of Pain and The Roadwarriors, Konnor and Viktor don't quite have the combined size those duos possessed, but they do have the intimidation factor, if promoted correctly. On NXT, The Ascension were treated like tag-team royalty, holding the NXT Tag-Team Championships for one day short of a full year, and being booked to run roughshod over everything in their path. It was a simple, yet effective, strategy, one which had WWE fans calling out for the team to be called up to the main roster, and show what they could do on Raw, Smackdown and Pay-Per-View. The WWE tag division has long been a strange place, and often teams are simply thrown together. The Ascension hopefully mark a change in that mindset, but there's something they're lacking. The team aren't quite being portrayed as the killers they were in developmental, and Paul Heyman would be able to bring that out in them. Just look at how Perry Saturn and John Kronus, as The Eliminators, were booked in ECW - short-ish matches, dominating power moves and over as hell, Heyman worked wonders with Saturn & Kronus, and he could do the same with The Ascension.
