12 Conclusions From WWE RAW (June 22)

11. The Ascension Need To Change Their Look

The Ascension have not been particularly impressive since making the move up from NXT, and the Legion Of Doom gimmick isn't helping. The shoulder pads and red and black facepaint makes it easy to wonder whether Vince is ribbing them. As bad as LOD 2000 was (featuring the mighty Heidenreich, the mere mention of whom forces Michael Cole to clench his buttocks), The Ascension are arguably even more ridiculous. The resemblance to LOD is far too close for it to be a mere coincidence, which means that if it isn't a rib, then someone, somewhere in WWE thought it was a good idea. Which is worrying, frankly.

As a long-time WWE fan, I have always enjoyed watching men pretend to beat each other up while wearing spandex. Extra points for facepaint, none for tassels. I love all things sci-fi. If there's a 'Star' somewhere in the title, I'll probably dig it. I'm a huge football fan too. For my sins, I support Manchester United.
