You mean:
>Interrupt heel mid-ramble
>Make long ass entrance
>Stare them down
>Smile in the ring as the heel backs down and walks away
>Their music plays
>The commentators act like what we just saw was the most exciting thing ever
>Do this a few more times
>Heel eventually jumps them, they trade blows but the face gets the upper hand and sends them packing.

God I'm still so fucking mad about that

I'm not saying I'm a fan of Ascension or that they were ever going to be a success on the main roster but jesus. Why the FUCK would you ruin what little momentum the guys had for a cheap pop

>>2788424
I feel like the dumbest motherfucker on Earth because I was holding out for the Ascension to singlehandedly (doublehandedly?) fight off the old guys and murder JBL to give them a big credibility push.

It was like I had never seen the product before.

>Have X wrestler debut
>Don't actually have anything for them after their debut

I think that covers about 50% of call-ups

Hello squaredcircle

I didn't watch back when Ascension were a thing but I was playing 2k16 and I thought they had one of the best gimmicks on the roster
