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. 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. I mean, ratings fell when Constable Corbin was GM (so much so, they literally blamed him for all the woes on television whilst, for some reason, still pushing him) and as mentioned, the only time Corbin was getting a reaction from people, the company’s response was to backtrack and make him something different. If anything Corbin did actually worked, he wouldn’t need JBL in the first place. You don’t resort to that stuff if a dude is working.

Frankly, Lone Wolf Corbin was doing fine until the abruptly shifted him to the Constable/GM nonsense for absolutely no logical reason (kayfabe or otherwise). Then it was off to the races with stupid gimmick tweak after stupid gimmick tweak. (with Broke Corbin being the lone thing that was getting somewhere)

(with Broke Corbin being the lone thing that was getting somewhere) Yeah, Lone Wolf seemed to be fine as a Midcard threat and wasn’t much going anywhere as has his role before they stuck a waist jacket on him and decided he should be an authority figure. I’ll also add every time I think of Lone Wolf Corbin, I think of the diabolical “No DQ” match he had at one of the early NXT Takeovers with Bull Dempsey where no weapons were used until the finish where a chair was “used”. For all the good NXT did at times, how they f***ed up an easy plunder match like that, I’ll never know.

He's been interesting for about 6 months of the past 5 years. I think the time has passed for him to be a main eventer/world champion or anything like that. They screwed up by ending the Bum Ass Corbin gimmick too early. Now he's just a guy who babyfaces can get a win against on TV.

He’s chasing after big show for the most face/heel turns Not really? Officially he’s only had the one turn in his entire career, and that was back in his NXT run. Other than the kinda teased one mentioned in the thread when he went broke, he’s been a heel non-stop since 2015.

I remember when he debuted in NXT I thought dude was a star. He was decent as the lone wolf on Smackdown, but since then his only great work was bum ass Corbin and that didn’t last long. This pairing with JBL ain’t it and his attire is some of the worst currently.
