Save the hair, save the career
 
When the hell is Baron Corbin going to do something about that hair?

Sixx 02-25-2018 11:49 AM

Yeah, you either sport a glorious mane or you go bald. "Balding" is the one place you don't want to be at.

Jordan 02-25-2018 11:54 AM

Yeah the answer is obviously to go bald, but I guess there are other surgical answers. I'm surprised because the guy is obviously an important character to Vince, so he should really look into getting that hair situation taken care of and maybe getting a hookup for some steroids.

Anybody Thrilla 02-25-2018 01:24 PM

I don't think the hair is the problem.

XL 02-25-2018 01:25 PM

Shave the hair, save the career?

Anybody Thrilla 02-25-2018 01:32 PM

I think the biggest problem is that his promo sucks copious amounts of ass.

Simple Fan 02-25-2018 01:43 PM

Yeah not sure why he's the lone wolf, he could really use a mouth piece. On the hair though, bald and get a bad ass head tattoo.

Cool King 02-25-2018 03:10 PM

His promos are absolutely awful and going bald (or possibly a shaved head) is really needed if he wants to have some legitimacy with his gimmick.

A bald (or shaved) Baron Corbin would look more intimidating and much better than his current "mysterious man in the playpark/bushes" look.

Anybody Thrilla 02-25-2018 03:20 PM

Is it really "needed" though? I don't think it would make things worse, but I don't really see how it would make anything better either.

Jordan 02-25-2018 03:25 PM

Well, it may not make things better but it would be something fresh for him, and also his hair look horrible, there is no way he is gonna get over big with that hair. And as for a manager, I think he'll find his way on his own but it wouldn't hurt if they had something fresh, like when they put Paul Ellering with DOP.

Sixx 02-25-2018 03:26 PM

I don't know, long hair and balding - that's pretty pedo.

Shaving that shit will definetely help him.

Jordan 02-25-2018 03:28 PM

It is a little pedo for sure. Also Corbin really could be the counterpoint to Roman if they pushed him correctly, I know they see that potential in him. In addition to his hair he should also try and find Roman's steroid guy, or maybe one that is more on the DL, because he looks flabby.

If your belly button does this, you are flabby.

And it's totally fine if you can't get in the condition to have abs because I don't care at all. Sometimes it can be impressive to see an amazing physique but Corbin looks like how the Dean Ambrose character should, he's huge but he's not in the gym everyday lifting weights, he's just tough and dangerous looking. So he could do a spin on the Diesel outfit and wear some cool spandex tank and then maybe switch up the long tights with some MMA style shorts ala Brock Lesnar. I see so much potential in Corbin I just think his look and character is all over the place.

They can drop The Lone Wolf it's not something that isn't replaceable now or nonreturnable down the line.

Ruien 02-25-2018 04:57 PM

Boring Corbin needs to go away. That is the only way to solve the issue.

Jordan 02-25-2018 04:58 PM

He's not going to though. That's the thing Ruien.

According to article 6, section 7 of the Wrestling Moniker Handbook, it is both irreplaceable and nonreturnable. Read up, bro.

Hey, Hair Club worked wonders for Howard Finkel, what's to say they can't do the same for ol' Boring Borin?

In a complete 180 to most people, Corbin's push(es) is fine, *he* just is the weak link here. There were 3 people that the company were super obviously behind since NXT and wanting to bank on them being "the future", and they were this guy, Roman, and Jason Jordan. They kept mishandling Jason by wanting him to be this breakout singles superstar... only to pair him with yet another teammate who actually markedly better than him. Roman was picked to be a manufactured Cena/Rock lovechild and they never looked back with that decision, even when it made logical sense to abandon it with something that would actually work.

Then, you have Corbin.

For all the "command presence" and sneering facials, he's still fairly clumsy in the ring - not All Red Everything hurt people clumsy, but just stilted like he's a backup dancer who is trying real hard to remember his steps - and (which they tried to hide in NXT with Goldberg style squashes), and ABT so eloquently put it "his promo sucks copius amounts of ass". The only ~decent~ one I remember was his first appearance after wining the Andre Memorial where he goes: "For those of you who don't know me... I don't care." That was about the only time he came off as a cocky, amoral asshole heel. The rest of the time he speaks, he sounds like a whiny pussy: exactly the opposite of how he's being billed.

Putting this a better way: he's exactly where Brawn Strowman would be if Brawn didn't make you buy what he's selling. Yeah, Brawn's a giant of a man, but if he exuded all the confidence in his words and actions of a pre-Nexus David Otunga, we would be mentioning this guy in conversations about The Great Khali and El Gigante. Even with the jobber feedings and golden positions, and feuds with potential future Hall of Famers, he's just *not* improving.

In fact, I dare say that through sheer collective apathy, he may possibly garner more X-Pac heat than X-Pac, and have that trope renamed after himself.

Or maybe one day, it will *click*, and he'll find his "Rusev Day". Who knows.

Savio 02-28-2018 09:38 AM

Looks like MegaMind in that one pic.

.....

Although I’m not a fan of the language that you have chosen to use here, I must agree with this analysis. I don’t think Corbin’s look has much to do with his mediocrity thus far.

Anybody Thrilla 03-01-2018 12:53 PM

You can say 'ass' on a PG show.

Sixx 03-01-2018 12:58 PM

The more posts I read the less I believe Luigi is real.

Danny Electric 03-01-2018 07:01 PM

Corbin looked much better in the early NXT days when he had short hair. I wonder if he was asked to grow it longer to go with his 'look'
I think he has a lot of potential, just needs some consistency and I enjoy the End of Days and Deep Six moves.
