According to Meltzer this morning, WWE sees Corbin as a bigger future star than Braun at this point. They want to push him big.

This kind of makes sense

Braun, as a monster, is near perfect right now and more entertaining to watch

I think Corbin has potential to be more well-rounded though as a character, more than just "big guy who hurts people"

I think Stroman works in his simplicity of BIG MAN SMASH GRRRAAAAAH

 

[orioto]

KO needs a lot more of those. When he started in NXT he was ruthless. Mean bastard KO is much better than comedy coward KO. Nice to see an edge back.

It can be nice but the evil foreigner seems like such a waste for him..
I think they are really trying anything to kill his face reaction.

At least, it could be good if that means making him evil foreigner have him real heat, so he can be strong in the ring. Versus being half heel like in RAW and having to do nothing in ring to lower the fans.

But i'm a little worried by all that.
Squashing a local jobber and being a cocky foreigner seems like a downgrade and the gimmick where you end being ridiculed and a loser.

...On the other hand, Corbin would get me to stop.

 

[njean777]

Corbin could be good, he just needs new pants (honestly the fuck is WWE thinking with those green throw up looking pants).

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

So Nattie, Carmella and Tamina are running in next week.

Owens is too good in ring. It takes drastic measures to make him get.a heel reaction. it does seem they want him to get a heel reaction at the expense of what makes him great.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Corbin looks like the 5th member of Disciples of Apocalypse.

 

[Brian_FETO]

It will never not be amazing to me that AJ has completely taken over WWE (regardless of title picture)

 

[SallyIsNow]

AJ with the GOAT attire.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Aleister Black is who they want Corbin to be but actually good.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Face that runs the place vs Face that runs America

 

[sf2fanatic]

Face that runs the place vs Face that runs America

Who gets the louder pop?

 

[blackaroni]

That Jinder forearm.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Ya but he's not big tho

 

[somedevil]

Aleister Black is who they want Corbin to be but actually good.

Thats a weird comparison. They are two different characters.

Hoping it turns in to more 'KO is an asshole' and less 'evil foreigner' that is true. I just don't want to go back to "KO runs from a fight" when my favorite thing about him at first was being a prize fighter who beat Sami senseless.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Who gets the louder pop?

In Trump's America?

The boy from Georgia.

 

[orioto]

To me they both look like random guys who want to look like a wrestler at halloween

Well beating a jobber generally means the guy wants to act tough and pick a crappy opponent to look good, but i hope it's not that in that case.. They just wanted him to do something before the commentary i guess..

 

[DMczaf]

Wait....Superstar Shakeup WAS the annual draft because Vince now hates the word "draft" and wanted a WWE verbiage name for it?

 

[Brian_FETO]

Thats a weird comparison. They are two different characters.

They're both "metal guys", seems like they're going for a more occult thing with Black though. Don't think it's reflected in his character though beyond the entrance and meditation, he isn't conjuring spirits (yet!)

 

[Uno Venova]

Baron's moveset is the fucking shit

 

[SallyIsNow]

Wait....Superstar Shakeup WAS the annual draft because Vince now hates the word "draft" and wanted a WWE verbiage name for it?

What?! No way.

 

[cLOUDo]

Owens with the "I have to fight this guy?" 's face

 

[Brian_FETO]

The past two weeks Owens has sounded bored and tired

Like he's adhering to guidelines on how to get heat beyond the "evil foreigner" shit. It's pretty dumb

Unlikable in an annoying way

 

[Syder]

feel bad for aries wish he was on smackdown

AA will be CW Champ eventually though.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Guys, Corbin is fucking awful. He has one of the worst looks on the roster and is shit in the ring.

 

[somedevil]

That deep six was great.

 

[Heroman]

Guys, Corbin is fucking awful. He has one of the worst looks on the roster and is shit in the ring.

He is going to be champ by the end of the year.

 

[Uno Venova]

Dude is a charisma vacuum and doesn't look like he believes in himself.

Not a good SD. Not a fan of Owens new character either.

Its amazing how much control and how much vince gives a shit about the fucking little dumb things

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Old KO would have gave Styles a beat down for that. They've toned him down a lot.
