The Ascension has never really been my cup of tea, and it seems most everybody was cringing at their segment on Raw last night.....,but how much was it their fault? I get that it was Raw Reunion and all, but I feel the NWO, Nash in particular, just buried them. Might have seemed cool back in the day acting that way as it was part of their character, but now just comes off as a d&$@ move on their part.

Well, they hadn’t been great until that point but yeah, the Raw Reunion was bad. And as bad as Nash was, Hall flicked a toothpick at Connor and he did nothing. Not good. As I type this on Rumble Sunday, they need to step up if they have any chance of getting over.

If The Undertaker declined to put over Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, do you think Vince would have done another screwjob?

First, Taker isn’t that kind of guy so I don’t see it happening. If it did though, it would depend on how strongly Vince felt about it. He has a lot of respect for Taker, so he would have to be really hell bent on the idea to go against that.

Big E used to be a monster heel, then a tough guy babyface, and now he's part of New Day.  While I have nothing against the New Day gimmick and think Woods is great in this role, watching a guy of Big E's build chant and bounce around is very comical...and not in a good way.  We've seen Brodus Clay go from being a monster to fizzling out with his Funkasaurus character, so my question is, if Big E remains with the New Day group for a while, do you see him going a similar route and getting stuck with a character who no one can take seriously? 

It wouldn’t shock me. I don’t think they have made good use of Big E at all. He can go and he’s really big. He isn’t a great promo, but they could have put him with someone like Paul Heyman. I think they have missed the boat with him so far.

Um, please answer me this: On MLK  Day, why no mention of Ron Simmons is not acknowledged as the first Black World Champion? Why is R Truth jobbed in a minute? Why isn't Booker T recognized in Texas no less? A powerful montage is great, but,what about the meaning of this day. Please answer quickly. I am officially appalled by WWE at this moment and hate that I can't refund my ticket in Hartford next week.

I think you are being unfair. Had they done all you said, they could have been accused of pandering. I liked what they did and how they did it. They showed respect without trying to get themselves over in the process.

So I have seen stories saying Vince isn't high on The Ascension and behind the commentators not putting them over during matches. Do you think the fans will get behind them now as a rebuke of Vince's creative control? Honestly, it kinda makes me wanna cheer for them just to spite Vince.

I think the only way the fans get behind them is if they show they can really, really go. The fans get behind guys like Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler because they can work.
