Correlation is not causation.

Nay. The guy has 14 strands of hair and insists on keeping it long. Not much charisma, too scrawny to be a "typical big man," too big and not seasoned enough to be a "good worker".... If he were to be released, I would not miss him slightly....

The Fives speaks some importance. :love:

You have valid argument's however aside from his receding hairline, his charisma I disagree with. It's true heel charisma, you can't cheer this guy, he's a fucking dick and that bleeds through the screen to me. We need real heels and I feel that he's perfect for that role. Plus he has started to physically have real dynamic intensity about his work that I find believable for a WWE main eventer. He's only improving I think.

Not would I claim he's directly responsible for all the WWEs recent success, but he has to get some credit for carrying the company while Cena has been hurt and doing outside projects. If the fans were really against him in a top spot, they would likely reject the product. So even if you don't want to say he's solely responsible for the upward trends, he's at least part of the equation of success, for which he deserves credit. And if you're looking for a new star, you would want them to contribute to success in a similar manner to what Roman has.

He's got the best finish, maybe since the RKO.

Baron Corbin is excellent.

I actually don't understand the negativity. I think he is great and something new and fresh is always welcome.

Totally agree with Cynick about End of Days too.

Entrance took a while to come together, but whole package is prob my favourite in the fed right now.

His 14 strands make him look different and help his unique look. He is finding himself and he is definitely one of the biggest reasons I like Smackdown.

But I guess that's why booking is so hard in general...A small cross section of fans on here and there is rarely ever a uniform opinion.

Hence my current dream feud of Corbin/Orton

Unique doesn't necessarily equal good. His hair is absolutely disgusting looking.

Fives also brought up a good point about the rest of his look. He's tall, but nothing else about him is intimidating or even decent.

People always complain about a lot of the cruiserweights and others looking like "average Joes" but I never hear them complaining about Corbin on that front.

I can honestly say that I see guys like him on a regular basis around the local college campus. Tall guys who were good at sports in high school but that's about it. That's not the look of a world class wrestler.

Now, look isn't everything of course, but Corbin is lacking too much in other areas to make up for it.

I will say I am a fan of the Deep Six. Would be awesome to see him put someone THROUGH A TABLE with it.

Honestly I think he'd be better off using the deep-six as his finisher. It looks way more devastating IMHO.

His hair wouldn't look as bad if he didn't slick it back. His hair has got way thin since joining WWE though.

Was a lot thicker then, kind of looks like Mike Awesome a bit. Looks like Husky Haris with short hair though.

Yay.

Working with guys like Kalisto, Ziggler and Crews has been great for him.

Feels like he's improving every week and the Ambrose feud should add to that

I'm also not a big fan of The End of Days. It feels like a indy finisher. "Look how unnecessarily cool my finish is." I will say kudos to him only ever fucking it up once to my memory.

Everyone who says nay is wrong.

That would be a dream program. Great way to establish Corbin.

You probably said the same thing the first time you saw the stunner.

Nope. Wrong again. For someone who claims to be a genius, you sure fuck up a lot.

Meh. The hair/chin strap beard is a big factor in his look. I thought for a second he'd dyed the front until I realised it has just his scalp showing through. The normal go to would be shave his head but with that awful beard I think he'd look worse.

I really do feel like people are being picky about his look tbh.

Dean Ambrose has a way worse look, including balding, weird longish hair and street clothes that don't even have the added personality of Corbin's, and I don't see too much complaining about that.

He didn't put a foot wrong on Smackdown this week either. He is developing all the time and I think he will win a lot of people round in the end.

Wait so having a really cool, devastating finisher makes it more indy? Guess Corbin should just use the spear or maybe a nice leg drop then.

Gotten to.

lmao

Dean Ambrose's look is probably the second biggest complaint against him, right after that forced rebound clothesline spot he does every single match. If Ambrose actually got some ring gear he would look much less out of place at the top of the card.

Third biggest complaint is his shitty punches. Ambrose / Shane bareknuckle boxing match for Mania plz.

Ambrose's look is fine I think. Hed look like a bit bigger James Ellsworth in regular ring gear.

Doesn't that make him a face?

Dang, exactly right at this point (27, 18). :naughty:

Only seen him 2 times now and nothing about him stands out.

It's not devastating, it's a flatliner with theatrics.

Swing and miss.

Ha, agreed.

Lol, it adds to Ambrose character, but takes away from Corbin? I think we are really stretching here.

I understand not liking the character, but these are very minor things. If he shaves and cuts his hair, is he a main eventer?

He has definitely had his cardboard moments, but he is getting better in almost every way, every week, and is slowly finding that character.

I could easily say that I think his lack of emotion and cold demeanour add to the idea he is a lone wolf and a cold, uncaring individual.

At the end of the day, he has way more positives than negatives IMO and couple that with the fact he is improving almost weekly...He will be a world champ before the end of the year.

Similar looks can work for one character and not another. Corbin is presented as a biker bad ass. When you here those words what kind of person comes to mind? If you said Corbin you're either a liar or you've never seen a real biker in your life.

Dean on the other hand is portrayed literally as "the dude." He's supposed to look out of place. He's that wacky and crazy uncle who everyone loves but are also slightly afraid of. Now is that the best presentation for him? Well, no, in my opinion it's not, but for what it is it works.

Wait, Corbin's supposed to be a biker?

I thought he was a wannabe school shooter who couldn't get his hands on a gun.

That joke has really proven my point about his look. Lol

Nope stunner looks legit painful end of days is a glorified flat-liner and most versions of that move just look like your giving yourself a slam and like it hurts you far more than your opponent.
