They really need to stop opening this show with 20 minute Baron Corbin monologues.
It didn't work in June. I don't know why they thought it was going to work in December.

I’m shocked that the prospect of more dog food related antics didn’t boost the ratings.
As much as I think most of us agree that Corbin ‘gets’ what being a heel is all about, it’s fairly obvious that featuring him prominently on TV is not good for ratings.

Okay, okay, look. Baron Corbin may have caused ratings to plummet every single time they've put him in the spotlight, and he may have headlined a PPV that did so dismally that it had lower paid attendance than December to Dismember, but he's really handsome so we've got to push him, okay?

Corbin certainly has his place and I'm not going to put all of the blame on him, but the guy's just not as good as they think he is. It's always terrible when he's all over the show.

Also doesn't help that the royal mash-up of his "End of Days" theme is clunky, which makes me groan every time Smackdown starts out with it. I feel that Corbin's ceiling is mid-card.

Yeah, I’ve de-soured on him. But he should not be the most featured person on the show. It didn’t work on Raw. It’s not working on Smackdown.

If anything, it should be Smackdown’s main champion who should be the most-featured guy. He’s at least there every week in some form.

but all the while, I still find Corbin to be a pretty decent heel.

They should have had "Reigns'unchained" start the show instead of end it honestly.

I also might be more into the Corbin vs. Roman feud if Corbin wasn't being backed by... Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. I really don't have anything against either guy, but they've both been there for a while (especially Ziggler who's 2014-15 Big Show and Kane levels of stale).

Baron Corbin has pictures of the entire McMahon family doing something that they don’t want out can be the only explanation about why this dude continues to get so much tv time. Anyone else and Vince would have lost interest in like 10 minutes. I don’t get it.

Corbin's come into his own as a midcard heel that dips into the main event every so often. But booking him like he's Triple H or Authority Rollins is the wrong way to go. He can't carry the show focused around him, especially when WWE still can't book strong faces well.

It’s essentially just Corbin’s RAW faction, just with Drew and Lashley replaced by Roode.

I dont know why they think Baron Corbin is going to happen, he has been a constant ratings failure every week, and it's not entirely his fault, the booking is just dreadful with him. Absolutely dreadful.
