Talking about The Ascension, Booker T stated that the 1990s’ monster tag team gimmick was a bit difficult for them to execute. Also, Booker T (who was a member of Harlem Heat) suggested that Konnor and Viktor should be pleased with the length of their WWE tenure.
Thank you, brother for this high praise. @BookerT5x will always be the BEST pure athlete performer I’ve ever had the honor for sharing the wrestling ring with. His athleticism, in ring timing and intensity was unmatched. It’s why he’s a @WWE Hall of Famer. https://t.co/zYxsKZJ1JY

Booker T stated that it is hard to duplicate something. The Hall of Famer suggested that The Road Warriors did it better than anyone because they were the first ones to come out to the ring with face paint, shoulder pads and spikes. He said that The Ascension couldn’t fill their footsteps and make that work. Booker T added that they were lucky to have a career span of 10 years.
