10 Short-Lived Wrestling Stables You've Already Forgotten
8. The Ascension
Originally a major topic of conversation during the earliest days of Triple H's NXT, The Ascension was an act greater than the sum of its parts in terms of presentation but a long way short of the peak it reached following several refinements.
Carried over from Florida Championship Wrestling, the group had gotten smaller by the time developmental operations moved to Full Sail University, having started Kenneth Cameron, Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon, and Raquel Diaz as a (theoretically) dominant group.
The group disbanded having failed to make much of an impression, with the name sticking around until Cameron and O'Brian adopted it for their doubles act as WWE upped and moved from Tampa to Florida. Finding its final form with O'Brian and Rick Viktor, the tag team variant felt a long way removed from its roots as a rather pointless entity on a localised Floridian show almost nobody watched.
Hard to know if that was worse or better than how they ended up...
