10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Nothing After A Great Entrance
8. The Ascension
One of the first great post-NXT tragedies, The Ascension were a perfect fit on the black and gold brand precisely because the Full Sail University audience bought what they had to sell after the skittish scenes that announced their arrival.
Shot as if to make them appear from the floor and foreshadow hell's inevitable doom for their opponent, the positioning of them as post-workrate era Road Warriors was a bold but broadly successful one in Orlando. It was as if Vince McMahon saw nothing of that when they fell under his purview.
The entrance remained for a short while following their December 2014 call-up, but the reductive nature of their booking within months rendered it the only thing that carried a threat. After taking a total pasting from some legends on a January 2015 edition of Monday Night Raw, the duo felt as good as done for. When that die was cast, the entrance (and any attempt to rebuild them) was cast away.
