Fuck Baron Corbin. The dude is a tranquilizer dart of a performer. Probably a nice dude behind the scenes, but your charisma needs to be in front of the camera. He was the wrong choice for the briefcase.

Baron Corbin is a black hole for charisma and talent.

I figured that they found the monument to Lita, with the ball of her hair and the 2 dead cats that was hidden behind his rape dungeon, where he keeps 4 runaways locked up.

I don't think I agree that Corbin is worse than Mahal. When it comes to ring work and promo ability, at least when Talking Smack was around, I'd give the nod to Corbin. Mahal is really, really, really bad, lol.

You're just jealous Mahal is WWE Champion still and has now made it further in the business than Jim Cornette ever did.

Corbin is this bland skinny fat dude that I literally turn the tv off when he's on screen. He's not a horrible worker but there's not much to him. Mahal actually looks scary and he has great facials. He doesn't really botch in the ring, though he doesn't do much in the ring. Feel like if he got 7 extra minutes with Nak lastnight barring he settled into more rest holds they could have had a really nice match. Though I think Vince is in his ear about working a slow body builder style, feel like he could do much better work. |

If Corbin gets much worse/more awkward he's gonna get one of those pushes WWE likes to give to people who are so bad they end up actually getting heat when pushed.

He might be able to do better. I've never seen anything that makes me think that's true though. Billy Gunn always looked more dynamic in the ring. Has Mahal ever had a great match with anybody? Keep in mind that he's spent 15 years in the business at this point, and that he's had a 7-year relationship with the WWE, and a lot of that was spent on Superstars, where he would have been able to work longer. Can anyone find a great Jinder Mahal match? Baron Corbin, whilst I hear your point, is better in the ring. I agree that he's a charisma vacuum; but so is Mahal. We're really discussing shades of sewerage here. I guess it really just comes down to which guy upsets you more. Mahal is just lower in ring skill and his push is slightly more annoying to me. I guess that's Corbin for you. |

Interesting. Maybe Vince kept asking him to shave off those sideburns?

Observer's Meltzer hinted the mystery thing Corbin did derailing his big push was something that for anyone else not in Vince's graces would have been fired for. Also hinted Vince still views him as a big future star.
He's waiting on more sources to confirm the actual thing before he reveals it publicly. |

"Vince loves him".
If there's any quote that captures just how much Vince has forgotten what "entertaining" is... |

Seriously, Vince needs to take a day, turn off his phone and just look back on what he did with Hogan and Austin and then look at the fact that he's currently looking at Baron Corbin like "Yeah. THAT'S my next star!".
I feel like that might be enough for him to realize "Holy fuck, I've lost it. Gonna just hang out at home now, guys. You do this shit." |

Johnny fucking Curtis is a man who is insanely charismatic, good looking, tall, muscular, good in the ring, so comfortable on the mic and in front of a crowd that it's ridiculous, would charm the living shit out of everyone in America and the world on every fucking press appearance he goes on... And he is there... On your roster... As midcard comedy relief (Albeit amazing comedy relief because he's an INCREDIBLE FUCKING PERFORMER).
And you're looking to Baron Corbin to put asses in the seats. Jesus fucking Christ |

If you take Baron Corbin and put him in the Atttiude era, there's no way he gets much investment. He'd be in DOA and probably suck pretty hard, not looking that good physically, eventually being paid hundreds of thousands by WCW to not do anything.

Johnny Curtis would have been in a Chris Jericho '98 spot, where he would be amazing but the big WCW stars would be threatened by him, so they'd fuck with his push, only for him to jump to the WWF, where he'd be booked with HHH to try and make Hunter look cool.

There was a talent meeting about CTE with Maroon, Corbin said as a former american football player he knew about CTE, and ridiculed what Maroon was saying about it in front of everyone. Meltz said if anyone else had done it they would have been fired. |

I don't get why they won't just let him cut his string hair short.
He'd look much less like a paedo if he did. |

I really wanna know how many of those they have sold. Like... is there actually a human being somewhere who owns a Baron Corbin plaque?

Instead of a low rider he'd come out in a panel van. Still have the hydraulics of course.
