WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (March 1)
5. The Ascension Falls
Theres not much to The Ascension. They look like shorter versions of Kronik with facepaint. If you look at your TV from afar, Viktor even looks like a smaller version of Brian Adams. Konnor used to be a guy that looked like a rat for a gimmick, and Viktor is the master of the modern day chinlock. So the long-term prospects for these two on the main roster was never very good. The biggest thing they had going was their undefeated streak. Sure, it was no Goldberg-like run, but it was at least a little something. WWE gave that up so they could have The Primetime Players win in a flukey fashion. WWE likes to start a winning streak, and then end it just because. Bo Dallas went through this last year when he lost to R-Truth, which did nothing for either character. Now, The Ascension took a loss to a tag team that WWE didnt bother pushing the last time they were together in a couple of minutes. Again, it will serve no purpose. You could say that the Illuminati is behind this one, or you could just blame bad booking.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
