WWE And TNA: 6 Worst Moments Of The Week (July 12)

4. The Descension

On SmackDown, The Ascension (remember when they were the next Legion of Doom?) were RKO'd into oblivion by Randy Orton. Sure, they weren't exactly getting over, but to be given an act that was 20 years dated was a stretch from the start, but the problem is, there's no way they're going to get revenge on Orton or even try. It's like a few months ago when Orton beat Tyson Kidd and Cesaro by himself. WWE willingly sacrifices half the tag division to one man. Again, if this is the last we see of Konnor and Viktor, then that's fine. Good luck on the indy scene guys! But it's probably not. They'll keep showing up and competing in mediocre tag matches revolving around whether or not Vicktor can break his own personal best of chinlocks in a match. So if Orton can so easily dispose of a tag team, then let them go, otherwise any team that wrestles them competitively looks weak. Sure, Steve Austin would dish out Stunners on half the roster every other week, but that was Austin. He had the hottest run in the history of the business. Orton is Orton. He's as exciting as a loaf of banana bread. His peak was a decade ago. Even worse than him steamrolling two heels like they were the Three Man Band, is that it was done to set up Orton vs. Sheamus.
