The Ascension debuts in WWE MSG Live Event

[Wacokid27]

Meh....

I don't worry too much about the lack of a reaction to The Ascension when they make a debut (with Vickie as their valet nonetheless) against Los Matadores at a house show.

Epico and Primo (i refuse to remember their "Matador" names) are terrific workers, but their current gimmick is a turn-off for most adult fans and is only over for a few kids due to the little guy in the bull outfit. The days when wrestling was a second job for most wrestlers and that's over with grown-ups is.....well...over. No longer do we think a guy does this as a second job and during the day is a security/prison guard (The Big Bossman), a law enforcement officer (The Mountie), a hockey player (The Goon), or an Old West funeral director (The Undertaker). Now, it's time to ditch this gimmick and let these guys get over with their capabilities in the ring and on the mic (I also favor bringing Carlito back to be their manager or something along those lines, but that's probably just me).

Secondly, the Ascension are good workers who use a lot of power moves. Give them a couple of guys who will bump their asses off for Konor and Viktor on Raw or Smackdown (3MB wouldn't be a bad place to start, or Ryder and Santino as a tag team if you want a pure "face" team) and these guys will get a Raw reaction based on their size, power, and how those guys would sell for them.

There will be no problem getting the Ascension over on the main roster.

Never seen any of The Ascension but knowing their gimmick and after hearing about them for a long time, I don't think Vickie fits as their manager... like, at all. But it's likely just a test to see how people react to it. It was just a house show, and they sometimes try out things at non-televised events just to see how well it goes over with the audience and how they react (Sandow's possible face turn from last year comes to mind), so I wouldn't worry about her as their permanent manager just yet.

Oh I mean it's their first house show I don't think anyone was really worried about Vickie being their manager, especially after the reception they got (slim to none).
Tbh I think Undertaker would be an awesome manager for them but I doubt they would do that at the moment and I dunno if Viktor or Konnor have time to wait.

I wouldn't like the Undertaker as their sole manager (he'd only really fit in that kind of role imo if he were still the American Bad Ass), but if Taker had his own modern day version of the Ministry Of Darkness and The Ascension were two members of the group (say there were at least two or three other members), that would be awesome. But unfortunately, those days are past.

Paul Bearer would be the perfect manager for.....oh yeah :sad1:

They could be really good on actually WWE, although I would prefer them to go back to their old theme. More freaky.
