9 Things We Learned Watching Southpaw Regional Wrestling

If there is an act on the entire WWE main roster less valued and in a lower spot on the card than The Ascension I challenge you to name them. We're a long ways removed from the pair of killers that ran roughshod over the NXT tag team division.

Once their call-up took place, Konnor and Viktor were dressed up like Road Warrior ripoffs and deliberately made to look like fools, riffed on by the commentary team and beat up at the hands of long-retired tag teams returning solely to get their kicks smacking around these two dorks.

It seemed all hope was lost and despite a few subtle changes to their appearance and the frighteningly shallow SmackDown tag scene, the duo is still dead in the water. Nothing's going to change that. So what do you do when you're dead in the water, drifting along aimlessly?

You start hanging tens and highing fives.

Konnor and Viktor appear on SRW as the Surf Dudes With Attitudes, and in a ten second vignette got more over than in years of WWE work. Sporting blonde wigs, the pair look like The Hart Foundation and The Dynamic Dudes had a couple of sons, and they "surf" across the screen while leering seductively into the camera. They're portraying what the old timers called a "BJ tag team" (I'll let you fill in the blanks on the initials) and I guarantee that the next time - and possibly every time from now on - The Ascension appear on TV they're going to be showered with chants relating to their SRW gimmick.

Just go all the way and repackage them. They can't be any less over. Plus when it comes to the dudes' attitude, Chet Chettertfield thinks Susan needs to call him back.

Speaking of ol' Chet...
