Corbin's entire gimmick is 'THAT SHIT YOU READ ON WRESTLEZONE ABOUT WWE HATING INDY WRESTLERS IS REEEEAL' Easy heel heat but it isn't substantial if he cannot back it up with having the actual qualities a marketable wrestler needs. He has none outside of his height. Corbin looks more like some deathmatch fed reject motherfucker than Aries does. He looks like a CAW I would've made as a child if I thought Hot Topic and receding hairlines were cool.
I would find it more believable that Corbin used to make his money jobbing to Necrobutcher or some old WCW asshole still running a tiny midwest fed.
