I'd rather have seen Kurt vs Barron BLADE than this shit for his retirement match.

WWE: *spends months telling us Baron Corbin sucks and is (in kayfabe) responsible for Raw's poor quality*
Also WWE: *surprised that fans are unhappy that Corbin is Angle's final match at WM*

I doubt that they change it, because the WWE doesn’t care. They’ve got that Saudi blood money.

Who are WrestleVotes? This just seems a pretty safe insider take, considering everyone thinks Corbin was always going to be replaced anyway. They're pretty reliable. Just in terms of recent stuff, off the top of my head was on the ball with Ali being added at Fastlane, Bryan introducing a new belt with an accurate description of what it looks like, most of this year's Hall of Fame, and Lesnar / Strowman at the Rumble not happening.

I think they also got Bryan winning the belt on SmackDown last November right (stating that something "big" was happening that night).

If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was some weird ass attempt to get Corbin over as a babyface eventually since, unfortunately, the company itself is the biggest heel they have.

I’m starting to feel a bit bad for Corbin. He’s been getting absolutely crucified for months for the sins of the booking pen. Is he getting pushed above his ability? Yeah, I’d say so. But the fact is there have been times where he’s had a good-to-great match and the run of Talking Smack is enough proof that he’s a solid promo guy, so he’s CLEARLY quite capable of doing the job he’s getting paid to do, with the right booking. This is NOT the right booking, but because he’s the visible end part of the process, he’s the one that cops all the shit while Vince McMahon and/or the faceless underlings in the writing room get away scot-free. And its not likekly Vince and Crew didnt know that,he was used as a complete scapegoat for the "bad tv".

Kurt's one of if not THE best of his generation please give him the send off he deserves. Why not give him the Cena match?

I always thought this whole Corbin being chosen as his last opponent was probably just Angle messing with Corbin. Some point before mania he’s gonna destroy him, tell him he’s not worthy of being his last opponent and then we get the real reveal (Cena?)

That’s literally the description of most of the Smackdown stars that moved to Raw in the later part of the original draft.

Do WWE higher ups suffer from a sort of collective amnesia or something? I think they suffer from Cranial Rectal Inversion.

I actually thought he was better on Raw at first, until they started having him appear all over the show.

His pushes come at the worst times
When he got MITB he was the only logical conclusion but took seemingly took a step back and Cena openly just "buried" the dude in the buildup for their match
Fast forward a few years later and people are feeling the constable Corbin stuff but WWE makes it too much too soon and goes overboard
Corbin can talk and has some good high impact signature moves but the true push is the fact in how much TV time they give in but they always present him like a loser
