After losing the crown to King Nakamura, honestly, Corbin did his greatest work to date.
All the promos and videos and anything related to Corbin was fantastic last year.
His delusionalism as this character was fantastic. But others taking advantage of him was great too!
The fact Ziggler and Roode robbed him too afterwards was awesome. Instead of this tired Happy Corbin act, he really should've kept the poor gimmick much much longer.
Share your other memories of Broke Ass Corbin!

I remember when some people made comments about this gimmick being a way for WWE to mock up people who lost their job during the start of the pandemic.

I tried to coin Sad News Corbin as his name at the time. It didn't stick, alas.
The best bit was when they cut off his King music 10 seconds into his entrance and the announcer read the correction as the camera panned in on Corbin's sad face.

It's bonkers how the Happy gimmick has lasted for like a year now when this one had so much more mileage left on it

I love Corbin but I get so excited whenever his onscreen life goes to shit because I want this back so bad. Dude fighting with a can of ravioli was like the most I'd laughed at a WWE bit in ages at that point.

Most I've ever enjoyed him. What I came to post as well. I hadn't liked him since his "big timing indie guys" in NXT schtick.

I wish they called him Bad Luck Corbin and ran with the whole "Unluckiest Man in the World" gimmick
There was a big opportunity to turn Corbin face around this time too. And they completely slept on it.
Roman was dominating as Champ, so it would've made sense for him and the Usos to rub in the fact that Corbin was a bum, asking them for money and stuff. Especially when he threw dog food over Roman a year prior. Roman. Could've said something like "Oh, You need food? Here, I got something for you" and threw him a can of dog food.
Eventually, Corbin would have enough before snapping and kicking their asses to a huge pop.
The whole build up could've been about Corbin doing this for his livelihood and family, not just to win the title.

This might sound too "deep", but with bum-ass Corbin dude felt like he was method acting. He threw himself into it 110%. And not only that the dude was GOOD at it. He played massive asshole turned sympathetic down on his luck character very, very well. Once he went back to Happy, he became watered down, and I went back to not caring b/c he was boring again.

Apparently they animated Broke Ass Corbin's entrance for 2k22 but it was another animation that's not accessible from regular menus.
I don't know if they let you use it after a patch though.
