The Cosmic Wasteland
Okay, HOW this stable isn’t as popular as say… The New Day… is baffling!! Seriously! I know not everyone’s a fan of the Ascension, neither am I, but I do feel sorry for this team. Here’s a team that has gone from being NXT Tag Team Champions, to jobbers within a week because they tried to go over as heels.
After claiming to become better than say the Dudley Boyz or Road Warriors, the fans and commentators gave them shit for it! Seriously? ONE remark of being better than classic tag teams and they are in the doghouse? This attempt in gaining heel heat has been done to death and fans are mad that THIS team claims they are better than Demolition? Double standards I swear… anyways!
Much like how he tried (and succeeded) to keep himself relevant after the Legacy bombed, Cody Rhodes, now Stardust, adopts the Ascension and formed the Cosmic Wasteland! The team would feud with Neville and the Lucha Dragons (and Green Arrow for a bit).
I liked the idea behind this stable, and I hate how WWE just disregard it completely! Seriously, Cody Rhodes did great work this year… in fact, Stardust/Cody Rhodes gets Rank 7.5 for doing better creatively than WWE creative even though he’s nowhere near their list of future main eventers.
DAMN IT! I meant “this is coming from a guy”
