I thought he was still alright until Cena basically buried the shit out of him. The Constable thing is what really hurt him, in my eyes. I think the haircut was fine, and while he was doing the authority figure shtick, the outfit was fine. But now he just looks like an idiot. His theme, the lone wolf nickname....they don't fit what he looks like That's exactly what I was about to post. You're 100% right in your statement. Nothing about him fits the gimmick that they've established for him in the process and he just looks out of place. Unfortunately it's not just him in that regard. Literally everyone on the roster either looks or acts the same.

They think because he gets booed loudly, he’s getting “heel heat” and everyone will want to see him get his ass kicked.
What they don’t realize is, nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to see him period. He sucks, everyone knows it. And the fact that he appears in at LEAST 3 segments a week is mind boggling.
Of all the talent they have, THIS is the guy they devote all their screen time to. Not Heel Ambrose, not Roode, not Joe, not Ciampa, not Adam Cole, not Andrade, not Nakamura, not even Lars Sullivan.
These guys are all great heels who can have great matches to boot. And yet none of them are getting the spotlight like Corbin and McIntyre. And they wonder why nobody’s f***ing watching.

I've always been a fan of Corbin and never understood why he's always got so much hate. Throws a great punch (best in the business imo), moves around very well for a big guy, cool moveset. I really don't see much wrong with his work at all. From a character standpoint I also think he's done a good job transitioning from his bad ass lone wolf gimmick to his current completely different smarmy chicken s*** persona. I get the criticism of him being featured too much the last several months but that's not his fault. Agree. I don't know that I'd go as far as to call myself a fan, but I think he's unfairly maligned. As you say, it's pretty easy for me to see what WWE sees in him. Big guy who is quick and has some cool moves. What's more odd to me is why people pile on him like he's just THE WORST. It's pretty simple to me that he's worn out his welcome with a shit gimmick, overexposure and now he's in creative limbo like most of the roster, so I can understand why everyone is sick of him, but a lot of it seems like he's the IWC's choice of toilet paper of the month to wipe its ass on. Toilet paper is actually useful and serves a purpose. Baron Corbin, not so much.

Pretty easy to see.
He's tall so he's got the height. You know all about Vince and height. He's booed and that's all they care about. They don't care if people don't want to see him, as long as he gets boos their idea is that he's doing his job. He's not a cool heel. He's got a good mix of attributes. He's got good speed, good strength, he's a good mix. He's got a few cool moves and he "gets it" in the ring to a degree. He's improved so they like when they can see wrestlers make improvements over time.
Corbin's great in a midcard title role but that should be it for him. He's booked way too strong for what his entire skillset and character dictates. At the same time I can see why they'd book him. He fits what they like.

Remember when wwe used Baron Corbin as a scapegoat on why their entire product sucked? Lmao. Like he was literally blamed for their booking decisions like the Derrick maverick piss thing

Vince is senile and thinks he’s an actual Baron. Vince: God damnnit pal! I love the heelin' you put on Snoopy and your pizzas are dynamite. The crust has so much mass! Just look at all the beef on your pizzas.
