No way! That theme is the only thing about Corbin that I actually like. The theme itself is alright, but I'm talking about the awful instrumental parts they jammed into the middle of it when he took up the king gimmick that completely destroy the song's momentum. I think it may have the honor of being the last Jim Johnston WWE theme ever. You can tell, it just hits differently than the newer themes.

Lashley trading the Hurt Business for Corbin is the wrestling equivalent of Homer selling his Power Plant stock for 25 bucks.

Hmm After last week's loss, the Hurt Business are banned from ringside at WrestleMania. Shelton and Cedric are no longer in the Hurt Business. Yeah this stinks of a setup. If so I love it. Like when all the other Corporation members were banned from getting involved in the Austin v Vince/Shane ladder match so Big Bossman was "fired" from the group the week before the PPV, then during the match someone mysteriously tampers with the briefcase to screw Austin then the next might Bossman is reinstated to the Corporation. Although despite it hardly being subtle, to this day a lot of people still ask "who raised the briefcase at KOTR '99?" so maybe they didn't make it clear enough.

It's why the WWE doesn't do subtlety often... cause when they do it no one seems to get it

Just when you think it’s safe to enjoy a storyline..a wild Baron Corbin appears!

One of the best stables in WWE now gone and for what? How WWE keeps finding ways to fall upward is incredible.

Corbin actually fits the group well and he's been directionless forever. Just sucks if he's actually replacing Cedric and Shelton. I smell a ruse, though.

Still think we're going to get the Russo like swerve of Corbin, Shelton and Cedric all turning on Lashley to help Drew.
Drew goes heel, Lashley and MVP go face and we get some 'new' extended storytelling.

The presumed HB swerve seems like something you do for a B-level PPV, not WrestleMania.

Replacing the coolness of Shelton and Cedric with Baron f***ing Corbin is like trading in a Lamborghini for a lemon. An actual lemon.

That Corbin/Lashley/McIntyre faction was such a boring period for all 3 of them, can't believe they're revisiting it at all.

Well, there is at least some logic behind this. But...you all sell t-shirts...

Shelton and Cedric aren't exactly the most charismatic duo of all time but, they hold my attention much more and for much longer than Corbin ever has.
Dude is bland as any wrestler I've ever seen. Especially one featured so prominently.

If Jinder did join them, he could bring the Bolly Boyz too. The Hindi Business? It would sell tons of t-shirts in India for sure. Bobby MVP Corbin Sunil Samir

Bobby basically traded a Lamborghini (Cedric and Shelton) for a Ford Pinto (Corbin).

I can't believe that one of the rare times WWE tries to bring in continuity and use wrestlers' past associations to add to a story, it's to hearken back to that. The only enjoyable thing about that was cracking Vampire: The Masquerade jokes in live threads, and that's just a coping method.
