I love Corbin a lot but giving dude a Wrestling God gimmick is legit insane considering how he wrestles. Like you can't make THAT his thing.

I don’t watch WWE currently but do keep up to date so I may be off base here but isn’t that the joke? I mean considering the last wrestling….gawd! was JBL would make sense Not that I think giving him this gimmick, JBL as his manager or JBL being back in general makes sense lol

Considering they destroyed him and treated him like a geek during the Rumble, I honestly don't know. Obviously they don't ever want to turn him face, but it's not like this JBL partnership has helped him at all.

Honestly, I think Corbin is going to be someone who will eventually retire and suddenly people will realise how talented he actually is. I know he has been about as under as any talent in history at points, but he mainly just does his job and rolls with the ridiculous punches. I honestly think in a few years' time he'll be one of the sweaty lads in suits who break up fights between main eventers on a go-home show Frankly, if Corbin disappeared, I don't think anyone would care besides a few losers who have apparently bad taste. All people do is complain about him and that he wastes time and doesn't deserve to be on TV.

And Corbin loses again.
Like, I'm just getting tired of this.

Really made him look absolutely terrible beating Gargano within an inch of his life just to lose to a very slow and awkward rollup.

Corbin just kind of he is what he is at this point. He's a solid big man worker in his late 30's who has been in the company for a long time and likely isn't ever going to champion or be pushed any higher then he has in the past. So it's hard to get really upset about how he's booked in that he's peaked career wise. I don't think even a face turn would really spark things for him at this point. I think if they would've turned him coming out of the Broke Corbin angle that would've gave him a shot in the arm where maybe he would still be a more interesting character on the roster with at least a little more upward mobility in that he would have more fresh creative directions to go in. However too late now.

Really made him look absolutely terrible beating Gargano within an inch of his life just to lose to a very slow and awkward rollup. This also made Gargano look like absolute shit in victory Your gimmick turning into "Gets beaten within an inch of his life but pulls out the win anyway" isn't endearing, an underdog's supposed to be able to hang with the big boys and not look the part, but it turns out he IS the part. There was a time Johnny was that but he's become a parody of himself in the last few years Gargano's main roster run has so far been pretty atrocious. It's essentially keeping the momentum of his later NXT runs... which were also pretty atrocious.

They should have kept the Broke Corbin thing a lot longer than they did. He was REALLY good at it, and there was a lot of potential in what they could have done with the gimmick.

Like, one of the strangest things about the last 10 years of WWE is how opportunities to pivot aren't taken whilst other who get the fabled four week push and then scrapped were extremely commonplace.

Like they made a sympathetic character that was ACTUALLY GETTING SYMPATHY! God I hate Vince.

And part of what made it work was that Corbin was committed to the bit. He was never more over. Vince just tossed it out because people felt sorry for the guy instead of laughing at the dirty poor.

It's like - they had him lose his title, his money and even his house and start to atone for his previous bad guy actions - what did they think would be the crowd response? Also, what crowd response? The entire Sad News Corbin run happened during the Thunderdome era!!!!

Corbin is one of the best talents in the company. He can make anything work.
But this shit is impossible to get over.
He doesn't need JBL cause he's a good talker himself.
Its a bad idea all over. Just make Corbin a piece of shit heel again.

Just make Corbin a piece of shit heel again. I don't think that's true at all He's had about 7 different gimmicks and the only one that seemed to be really getting over they pulled the plug on. Constable Corbin was awful, King Corbin sucked, Happy Corbin wasn't remotely over and this new one is the worst of them all.

He’s chasing after big show for the most face/heel turns
