Finally got round to watching this match. It was fine I guess. I didn’t notice anything terribly botched or anything. He didn’t get a lot of offence in. It was very basic but certainly not a train wreck. The crowd turning on him that early must be down to himself as a human being right and not this match? Some shit human. Some of the absolute anti-charisma. Some of the “This guy is a possible ‘Chosen One’” resent. All of the above.

They wanted to fast track him to Raw. He was freaking drafted there like what, two years before he was even NXT ready

my Dan Rodimer alarm just went off, whats happening? Just people referencing how Stephanie was apparently a big booster of a guy who never even had a match outside of Heat, is all.

WWE and UFC both instantly bought in to all the gas this guy had pumped into him as a lasting star who would transcend amateur wrestling, and now WWE's holding the bag on a dude who really isn't as impressive where it counts as they think he's gonna be.

I think when you have someone this much of a piece of shit with all the baggage that comes along with him, he'd better be worth it. I think the perception of the guy colored the reaction to the match for sure. Like, while it wasn't this big disaster or frontrunner for the Gooker, it was still mediocre at best and Corbin was a big reason why it got up to even that level.

Corbin was able to get a pretty decent match out of Pat McAfee, but he was barely able to get anything out of Gable. I’m also still surprised that someone who was an Olympic-caliber athlete like Gable gassed out so quickly.

Yeah, Stephanie isn't above reproach with her track record, but this is one where a ton of people in positions of authority missed the mark because the tantalizing idea of a new Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar was too enticing.

Like, Corbin may not exactly be Bryan Danielson out there, but that makes him a fine choice to be that "in-ring evaluator." A trusted, reliable veteran who can give an honest take on how a new/developing talent is doing without being so good where he covers up a lot of warts
