There was a bloke called bronson on nxt about a year ago who fit the bull dempsey gimmick way better. Hard looking, not a flabby mess and better in the

ring. I think he picked up injuries and was canned though. Shame!

Yeah, he did. Serious spinal injury.

 

Mysterious too - apparently he's not legally allowed to discuss how it happened.

Are we supposed to be impressed because he picked up a single tyre? Or a bit of plastic bodytrim? Fuck me, ten year olds can pick those up without to much trouble.

So the Ascension - how come they're still in NXT?  I feel like I've been reading about them for ever, and they are made out to be a big thing on the show.

 

I just assumed that that Dempsey chap was a joke gimmick, so out of place did he look.

 

Also, Adrian Neville - that accent is never going anywhere near the main tv shows.  I agree with whoever said stick him in a mask and give him a manager.  With that long hair he's look pretty good in a hockey mask or suchlike.

It's probably because they're fairly rubbish, and the unstoppable Legion of Doom gimmick wouldn't work if they were trading wins with the Matadores and Rhodes brothers every week. So the company needs a solid plan if they're bringing them up, otherwise they'll just fuck them like they fucked Ryback, only quicker. They'd kind of have to do the same dominant monster champion thing Brock Lesnar is doing, which they can't do until Lesnar's not doing anymore, and they'd have to do it as full timers in the tag division. That's probably impossible because of how small the roster is.

With the tag team title tournament to crown new number one contenders I'm expecting them to lose the belts at Takeover. From their I guess they are either being promoted to the main shows or they'll be split up and given a gimmick change. One of the looks like he has potential (I have no idea which one....the bigger one without the shit hair).

9 years! Bloody hell....might aswell can him then. I assumed he was green as grass and The Ascension was the first thing he'd ever done.

He was on season four of the original NXT, where everyone made fun of his stupid rat face and then he started using having a rat face as his gimmick and making cheese-related puns.

He was also a regular on ECW house shows 8 years ago.  Surely after this long it's either now or never for him?  I think the Ascension are shit, but especially Viktor.  I can't see that gimmick doing at all well on Raw.
