They are obv moving away from the biker thing. I don't think his new tron and entrance has anything to do with being a biker anymore? Maybe I am wrong though, haven't paid that much attention.

But I really feel like he is finding himself and the character is becoming something more. The beating on Ambrose and last Smackdown was so cold and he looked like such a massive threat in the chamber.

Think we are starting to see a more aggressive, cold, post-apocalyptic type character. I guess we will see where he goes, but I am definitely interested so far.

I didn't see him at all in NXT, so maybe that makes a difference?

After the last joke, I decided to expand on it a little bit. So, I present to you...

10 things Baron Corbin Looks like:
SPOILER: show

10. Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn's wet dream
9. He isn't allowed at a Toys R Us
8. A School Shooter who didn't get his hands on a gun.
7. He is on the spectrum.
6. A Half Ogre Barbarian
5. He Has a Sweet Half-Ogre Barbarian he can't wait for the DM to allow him to use.
4. He has intimate knowledge of feline gynecology.
3. He quit wetting the bed at the age of 17.
2. He sometimes call his Mom "Auntie" and no one corrects him, because he isn't wrong.
1. A cross between Glen Danzig and that guy from high school who wore a wolf shirt and sat alone at lunch time.

"Post-apocalyptic" character? I think you're confusing him with the Ascension. I mean outside of his entrance tron and that one outfit with the fake skulls on the shoulders nothing says post-apocalyptic about his character. He's just playing the typical bully heel really with a tiny dash of fake biker thrown in.

Just a hint of it, but it's there, with the tron and names of moves and some of the material in his attire. Also the names in his moveset. His hair/look sort of reminds me of Book of Eli, movies like that. Just a hint of it, but it was in my mind anyway.

Post apocalyptic isnt a gimmick. Is corbin a time traveler now?

Maluco 02-18-2017 08:46 AM
I didn't say it was his gimmick, just that I could see hints of it in what makes up his character, his style if you like. I think that style and presentation could mesh well with a cold, loner "gimmick".

I dunno, I just see a picture forming. He might never get there, but he is definitely much more intriguing than the guy in the initial Ziggler feud.

The Chamber and the beatdown on Ambrose on Smackdown were both great and I just think he is on the rise

I'd like to see him convert to Judaism and become Baron Cohen. Maybe give him a diamond broker gimmick. Be more entertaining than the poop he is right now. Not as bad as Bayley tho

Oy!

I'd expect that from the likes of owenbrown but not you damn. That's kinda racist.

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.
Aesthetic is VERY important to a wrestler, and different things work in different scenarios. Gillberg wore black trunks and was bald, but he was never going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. That is an obvious example, but it highlights the point. Personally, I don't like Ambrose's look, but the argument that what is good for one must be good for another doesn't fly.

Thank you.

Watching Corbins wwe network debut right now. Why the fuck did they put him in a tshirt? Also he has balded huge in the past 3 years. Def hirting his look.

Also...his work was much better then...

Still boring as a bag of rocks. Seems like WWE finally realized it too.

Fignuts 05-24-2017 11:25 PM
Just because he lost? He looked like monster who just got caught with a good shot. They did everything they could at backlash to make him look strong in defeat. And now he's in MITB.

As for the topic, I've been won over. He's still green, but he can have really good matches with the right people. The main reason I like him is because in an era where everything is scripted and promos and characters feel wooden and forced, Corbin comes off like a genuine asshole.
