I have to ask this honestly. Because I don't think anyone is actually entertained by him

If you boo him then he's doing his job according to everyone who works in the WWE. Doesn't matter if he entertains you, doesn't matter if you boo him because you want him to go, they hear the boos and that's why he keeps getting these major roles.
Don't give him any reaction and he'll go away.

I really don't even understand what they were going for with that main event, beyond just making the US title scene look like crap (which admittedly might be what they were actually angling at given how much SmackDown's been shit all over this past year). At least Angle beat Joe on a fluke, Corbin just beat Rey half to death then beat him clean, it wasn't even close.

I think we may need a Corbin megathread.

Corbin makes him giggle. That's all that matters.

Except of course then you look at a Drew McIntyre or when he was around Alberto Del Rio and see that even if a heel isn't even being booed, they're still gonna get pushed if Vince likes them.

Del Rio was purely solely due to him being "the next big Mexican star" and Vince just never dropped that. McIntyre, I think they think it's too early for him. If he gets no reaction by say Summerslam this year then I expect him to hit that Jinder Mahal spot. Straight up. McIntyre's on a time limit. He better make us give a damn about him.

I zoned out during that match like a kid trying not to hear his parents banging upstairs.

WWE sent me this survey last week. It kept asking me what I thought about Elias and his music. Then it switched to Baron. The INSTANT I said I thought he was boring and a waste of TV time, they thanked me and ended the survey lol

On the Undertaker 93-94 episode of Something to Wrestle With Bruce Prichard, Bruce mentions that sometimes Vince will be stubborn as possible with some guys and try multiple times to get them over despite the majority of fans and people in the office thinking otherwise. I guess it's like a challenge to Vince or something and in over 25 years that mentality still exists.
BTW the example given in that episode was Giant Gonzalez, and I must say at least Corban has that going for him as in he can work a match without looking he's going to fall over at any moment.

I zoned out during that match like a kid trying not to hear his parents banging upstairs. I went to the bathroom right as it started, came back and instead of watching it started looking for GIFs of the Becky/Ronda/Charlotte brawl to post in the live thread. I ended up seeing maybe a couple minutes of it and that was it.

He’s becoming a meme at this point.
You know what... WWE should run with this. Play up the fact that Corbin is terrible and nobody wants to see him and have him constantly interrupt shit the crowd want to see.

You would have ended with some extra decoys about other wrestlers, then some demographic stuff. Which is amazing to me because it means they really see enough in the guy to work marketing surveys on him.

I have a bad feeling he's going to be feuding with Seth once he wins the belt.

I like Baron Corbin, just not in a suit and not playing the douchey what the f*** ever he's supposed to be.

I mean, I personally find him entertaining on the mic. He’s a damn good heel.. on the mic. In the ring? Eh. He has some cool moves and always brings it when it comes to multi man matches. But one on one he’s just there.

Yep, I'm a member of a few survey sites, this is about what I figured when that survey ended so abruptly haha.
