That whole thing was like unreasonably fun. The shows would benefit a lot from having more spontaneity like that.

I still find it funny that a week after calling Corbin a channel changing ratings poison... he's given yet another weekly segment which turns into a match
It was fun and I enjoyed it, I just love how self aware they are about Corbin but... don't take him off TV lol

I love when wrestlers have impromptu matches in their regular clothes.

I feel so bad for Corbin in that none of this is *his* fault. They have absolutely no idea what to do with him and the few times they're onto something, they make a mad dash away from it

They have absolutely no idea what to do with him and the few times they're onto something, they make a mad dash away from it It never really helps when he rants on Twitters about "smarks" or whatever because it's not like a) you need to care about those people because you're likely being paid super well with worldwide exposure or b) they're to blame for Happy Corbin being retconned out of existence. Like, I never get the sense they know what they want Corbin to be when they found the best role for him yonks ago and then shuffled him around repeatedly.

Other than the Lone Wolf, and to an extent broke Corbin, he's basically Malibu Stacy. They just keep throwing new hats on him. It's unfortunate. He's a fine hand in the ring. Perfect for the midcard.

Corbin will kidnap Pharao and fail at feeding him to Cody because his oven is broken. Cody looks on his plate. Pharao awaits a thousand pats. Corbin laughs and screams: "That's right, Cody. 100 % pure Pharao steak." Pharao will turn on his back awaiting belly rubs.

I love the idea of Corbin putting a whole-ass Siberian husky into an oven, it being broken, Corbin being aware of this and still putting the damn dog (still alive, mind you) on a plate under the premise that he will make Rhodes eat it. Absolute crayon-brained delusion. CTE in real time.

Cody going off on Corbin when Corbin was about to insult his dog is foreshadowing: Pharaoh turns on Cody and to help Roman retain at Wrestlemania. The ultimate betrayal.

Corbin is perfectly fine as a midcard heel (or even face if they played it right). Gimmick wise, I think the best we’ve seen from him was as the lone wolf type in NXT and then Sad Corbin (which they pivoted away from too quickly).

Bring back bumass Corbin. That was what he needed as a refresh. He needs to get the lowest of the low. Like comic hobo in a Looney Tunes cartoon low

Also I thought of the insulting everyone and the dog being a breaking point like the Terry Funk ECW promo to get Cactus to attack him where insulting Eric Bischoff was the breaking point

Corbin as the gatekeeper heel that faces have to get through to level up is the perfect role for him. He works heel in the ring as well as anyone and there's nothing "cool" about him. Having him attack Cody and giving them a short TV program with some heat on Corbin wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
