I just read an article where someone claimed that the rumors of Roman winning the Rumble was just a work to get "smarks" riled up.

Take that for what you will.

I would take that as you read an article written by a fucking idiot.

So, I didn't and won't watch Raw, someone tell me what I missed.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

How was Raw last night?

How was Raw last night?

Cena said he wanted a Frozen Sing-Along set, then sang "Let It Go"

 

[lovely ladies]

It's amazing that Nattie ever recovered from that.

Those scripts for the farting skits should be auctioned off for charity.

 

[Data West]

How was Raw last night?

They don't get cable under the turnpike? I mean.. legit shook hq

 

[Entropia]

Wow Matthew, that's a pretty swag shirt!

 

[Perspicacity]

He's not wrong.

Wow I spent nearly 5 minutes of my own time on that. Had I known the recipient would be an ungrateful SOB I might have spent half that

The Ascension will save Raw

Some people have serious issues with the Ascension though.

 

[kiguel182]

Is this from Total Divas?

I need some context.

 

[joelseph]

Hate to say it but I'm looking forward to this turned up version of the A Team. Loving the smoke and lightning effects in their promos!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I want to believe that the WWE are self-aware about how dumb Ascension looks, and their gimmick is going to be that of an 80s tag team stuck in modern times, like Anchorman or some shit. I just can't believe somebody at WWE watched the first promo they did and were like "Man that was sick as fuck lets do another one". Then again...WWE.

Worked well for Rusev. Give us more throwback gimmicks.

Time to bring back the Occupations Era, but with a modern twist. Have Bo come back as Abel the App Developer.

Jesus, could you imagine if the "WWE Social Media Guy" was Bo Dallas? And make him wrestle? Blech

 

[Future Foundation]

Meltzerz reporting that it's possible that dissatisfaction with management is at an all time high and word around the locker room is one or two indie favorites are looking to shoot their way to an unscripted Royal Rumble win. Things could change, but the belief is that being bold like this is the only way to get a Wrestlemania match on a card reportedly maybe stocked with part time wrestlers.

EDIT: I'm legit curious: what started this long, slow burn strobogo-Aiii feud?

And what exactly (assuming this is actually true) do those Indy favorites think is gonna happen after this?

Yes. All that Illuminati talk is what is going to hurt them.

I can't believe someone out there feels that way. Foolishness.

When I think "illuminati" I don't think of the Ascension

 

[Aiii]

There is no doubt in my mind that The Ascension are going to be tag-team champions in a few months.

I do doubt that being tag-team champions in WWE can be called an achievement by any stretch of the imagination though, it's not exactly a highly contended title that even they themselves pretend means anything.

 

[jred2k]

I was a dorky child.

FACT

 

[Joeki11a]

Get ready for ridiculous WM rumors

Already heard Taker vs Brock & Romanfor the title...aka protect Old Callaway Brock leaves to ufc.

Seth vs Sting vs HHH aka put over Seth the new Heyman guy since Brock is leaving.

 

[Aiii]

Fuck that, that is an AMAZING school picture. Well done Kidd, well done.

I agree completely.

Nah man, that cat is dope as fuck. Ain't nothin' wrong with having a dope-ass cat.

EDIT: lol that's Tyson? I shoulda known

 

[Joeki11a]

Ancesion biggest problem is those cheap ass goofy attires, if they change that they can look more realistic not like a bunch of clowns.

MMA trunks would be a step in the right direction

 

[spindashing]

I hope the Ascension does well on the main roster. I clowned on them on NXT but I can get behind this Illuminati stuff.

#666

...Make them an Edgeheads type tag-team and team them up with Brock.

Every new tag team in the past 12 years or so wins the tag titles within 2-3 months of debuting, so it does indeed seem like a lock.

Illuminati, eh?

 

[Fox318]

Why are the ascension changing their gimmick?

 

[strobogo]

For that Illuminati controversy cash, of course.

 

[Rapstah]

Los Matadores didn't win the titles, but they were and are bad enough that I can accept them as not part of the rule.

They already won the titles as Epico and Primo, though.

Harper and Rowan, then.

This is where it turns out Harper and Rowan held the tag titles for a year and I forgot about it.

I think they are the only "big" team in the last few years that didn't get the titles for some reason. And PTP.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

What gimmick did they have and what gimmick are they adopting?

From the promos it looks like they're adopting a "what time traveling Sunny D advertising executives think wrestlers are like" gimmick.

 

[Gonzalez]

What gimmick did they have and what gimmick are they adopting?

Jocks who somehow started hanging out with the goths for some reason?

 

[Sephzilla]

Jocks who somehow started hanging out with the goths for some reason?

this is actually the most apt description of the ascension yet. they seem like dumb jocks who never stopped pretending it was halloween

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Yall don't know shit about mummies

 

[Chamber]

Is Seth-kun having a triple threat with HHH and Sting a real rumor?

"I've made a huge mistake."

 

[strobogo]

Yall don't know shit about mummies

I might turn around on them if they do a vignette that is a direct rip off of scenes from the Karloff Mummy.

 

[Striker]

I think they are the only "big" team in the last few years that didn't get the titles for some reason. And PTP.

Rhodes and Sandow didn't either.

Felt like both Bryan-Kane and the Uso's held on the titles for far, far too long.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Wow I spent nearly 5 minutes of my own time on that. Had I known the recipient would be an ungrateful SOB I might have spent half that

Meh

 

[British Monsoon]

I'm sure Ascension will get a monster heel tag team run, but my question is what exactly does running through WWE's tag "division" do for anyone? It's not like there's any prestige there. Incidentally, they should consider putting some of the "top" guys like Orton in a tag team, if only to raise the profile of the tag matches somewhat.

 

[RP912]

Illuminati talk in wrasslegaf....

*hits alarm clock* I must be still tired :/

 

[lovely ladies]

Ascension should copy the Brood entrance for their intro.

 

[Browny]

Incidentally, they should consider putting some of the "top" guys like Orton in a tag team, if only to raise the profile of the tag matches somewhat.

Jericho / Big Show (Miz?) and Edge / Orton both lifted the titles higher than they are now.

They should do an actual Lethal Lottery Battle Bowl special... that would be awesome.
