10 Wrestlers Who Desperately Need New Gimmicks

10. The Ascension

The Problem: Where do we start? The Ascension in general are a problem; they're going nowhere and there's a severe lack of menace for a team once loosely based on classic face-painted duos like The Road Warriors and Demolition.

Konnor and Viktor are almost a running joke in today's WWE, and that won't change unless both are allowed to start anew with something totally different. It's not as though their current characters resemble the original Illuminati-inspired gimmick anyway.

Suggested Change: Get rid of the face paint, ditch the wacky 'Eye Of Providence' logo, give both members new names and move away from The Ascension without looking back.

Things are so dire for the team that fans wouldn't even mind if WWE couldn't be bothered penning a reason for any character change. All that matters is that Konnor and Viktor stop being presented as scary hard men who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
