This was such a weird pairing from the start so I'm not surprised it has ended like this. Not a fan of either and don't see anything in Corbin tbh so I don't know what they do with him next.

Yeah I don't see where they go here basically you say what the audience says. On the back of a long list of failures, how does he recover? I don't see a face turn working

Should’ve turned him babyface with Broke Corbin tbh.

Now? Idk. Corbin is in the same boat as Miz in the sense that they don’t have redeemable qualities so it’s hard to book them as babyfaces. But Miz is vastly more entertaining.

Send him back to NXT and give him the run you gave Ziggler and Apollo

"They gave up on it," Meltzer said about Corbin's push and pairing with JBL. He continued, "Obviously, this wasn't the plan. The guy in charge, that's Paul (Levesque), felt it wasn't working and that was it. Where they go with Corbin, I don't know. It felt very much like a burial for Corbin...He's had so many gimmick changes. There's nothing wrong or right with him but in the pantheon of stars, he's just not at that top star level. I think they wanted him to be at that level and they gave him every chance to be at that level. He's just a guy. A tall guy but he's just a guy."​
Wonder if they're gonna try and run the broke / bum ass Corbin back again :hmm:

Honestly, just feels lame now. This time around if they're trying it to make him a face, I think it'll only bring heat..... well now that I typed that out it might work.

It was the same when he was.. Constable Corbin too right? The stuff when he was with The Authority and Trips said he made people tune out or something to that degree.

Yeah they blamed declining Raw ratings on him on screen which was so wild to me bc why would you acknowledge your ratings are dropping on screen in anyway :lol

I'm honestly not sure, I wasn't watching wrestling in that time period. Just wasn't my jam for a few years.
