I'm not fan of Corbin's, but they are. Working with that mentality, and given that Corbin isn't exactly HORRIBLE -- he's just boring -- working with Matt Riddle between NXT and SmackDown heading into Mania could be a great program that cross-pollinates. You've got the big football/boxer "fuck yo' indies" guy against the laid back UFC fighter that doesn't fit the corporate mould. There's something there.
I don't think WWE does it. I don't think the emphasis they placed on that was anything more than a one-time thing. But I would be pushing for it, because I can't think of anything better for Corbin to do, and I think having some of the more outstanding NXT guys appear on SmackDown more often is probably in their best interests.
