Re Talking Smack

Bliss is extremely natural on the mic in settings like that. :leon:

I gotta go back and look at Corbin's NXT run because I'm just not getting the fuss about this guy.
Don't torture yourself. Corbin was always bland. No one was hyping him. We just started to tolerate him more.

Baron Corbin I think has only really won one feud against Apollo. He's still low on the ladder. He's not even being hyped for real. I don't even remember him winning a feud in NXT either. He just has a natural bad attitude and heel demeanor and he has potential. So he's got a little time to get better. Somebody like Jack Swagger coming out there with that bullshyt promo all nervous and shyt has no excuse.

I thought he was going places after the feud with Joe last Summer. That's when I started to believe in him. Now it appears it was just the start of Joe's return to excellence. Getting stuck in heatless feuds with Crews, Aries, and Ziggler certainly didn't help him, though.

Corbin has it in him to be the next Kane if they continue to book him with the same persona. He just needs to get a good win streak and solid booking which he has not had yet. He's had nothing but low to midcard matches. He can only go up from here.

Roman just had a great match this week while Ambrose had to be carried to a decent match by AJ Styles and got punked out on the mic by Cena. :huhldup: If Reigns never got suspended he would still be making goofy faces in midcard purgatory.

:francis:. Here we go again.

Ambrose has a good match: "He had to be carried!"

Roman has a good match: "You can't carry anyone to a good match."

This, but, Corbin can't be looking like his promos are 1000% scripted (even if that is the case). The way be very politely told AJ Styles he wanted to be his opponent and not his teammate was :mjlol:there was no intensity, nor controlled aggression. He may as well have told him "have a nice day, sir"

True.................but I think what he said means more than how he actually said it.........anybody else on the roster would have gladly obliged to being Styles partner but Corbin told it like it is and said fukk that I want the gold. His look is ominous as is

What's up with people acting like Becky Lynch is some D-Bry character? Talking about her like she's the most over woman on the roster (she's not) or that there has been some storyline of her being this huge underdog (there hasn't been) who has always come up just short in title matches (she's lost pretty much all of them decisively and never been screwed by authority figures).

I guess I'm wondering what show they've been watching, because at no point has Becky seemed like she was on the brink of greatness on the main roster, she's never been held down, she's just been a middle of the pack wrestler who won the title because of the brand split. Any of the women in that match could have won the title and it would have had the same emotional impact, imo.

Middle of the pack? The fans chose Becky over everyone except Sasha and Bayley....and she's better in the ring than both of them. Rebecca can work styles on 5 levels...she hasn't even gotten into one of her technical matches yet. Kurt Angle wishes he was as technical and psychology based in a match as her.
