He has all the makings to be a star. 'The guy' even. He's only had 30-second squash matches on NXT so far, but he has tons of charisma and is a fan favourite already. His finisher is epic, and looks like it could be pulled out of anywhere. He's a former NFL player for the Arizona Cardinals, a three-time Golden Gloves champion (amateur boxing) and a former Jiu-Jitsu champion.

He's also probably one of the biggest guys on the roster standing at 6'8" and 275 pounds. You know Vince will love him for that. He has a silent badass demeanor, which they shouldn't mess with. For all I know, he could be amazing on the mic, but I don't think he needs to be cutting a lot of promos. He actually reminds me of Goldberg, but probably more talented in the ring. Oh, and if it means anything to some of you, he's been the #1 trend worldwide on Twitter three times.

Baron Corbin is the future of the company. You can BELEE.... DAT!

The only Corbin match I've seen is from NXT REvolution, and I have to admit, I wasn't particularly impressed. I was expecting a bit more from how people talked about him. Ryback squashes entertained me much more because he was actually slamming motherfuckers into the mat. Corbin didn't to anything but a boot and a finisher - which didn't seem particularly strong, either. Crowd went wild for him, though.

-Big guy with tattoos
-long hair
-silent
-really strong booking

Guessing a lot of people are saying he's oozing charisma and has "it"

Just don't see anything special in him at all. How can you when he doesn't cut promos and his matches are 2 minutes or less. When he actually shows me something impressive besides his finisher I'll probably start being a fan.

Not going to jump on the bandwagon just because he's booked strong.

I agree with this.

I hope he starts having longer matches on tv soon. We really haven't seen anything from him yet besides some 30 second squashes. I'm also not completely sold on his look. Especially his face, most people say him and his smirk are awesome, and it oozes charisma or whatever.. I think his face looks boring, expresionless, void of charisma etc. I guess I just don't see "it" (yet).. maybe when he starts having longer matches I'll change my tune. He should also start doing promos soon because we haven't heard him talk at all apart from a vignette. You can't say he might be "the guy" when you've never seen him in a match that went longer than a minute and you've never seen him do a promo.

I do like his entrance though. :D

He hasn't said a word, hasn't done more than aa clothes line and his finisher, his longest match was 27 seconds.

That's the future of WWE? Pathetic; unless that's what you meant. Garbage wrestler...

Never compare him to undertaker. They have height in common, that's it.

So what? He has a strong presence, a great look and oozes charisma. You people can go ahead and enjoy your 20 minute matches, technical wrestling and pipe-bombs, but please, do not be so vain. There is so much more to a wrestler than that.

Before I hear him talk, I don't want to bash his skills, but the fact that they won't let him utter a word, as well as the fact that all of his matches are about 30 seconds long, leads me to the assumption that he absolutely sucks. I'm not saying he does, but that's what I'm being led to believe based on the booking patterns. Which doesn't disqualify him from being the future of the WWE, if anything, it strengthens the likelyhood, but the one thing people always bring up is his look. I'm sorry, what? Baron Corbins look sucks. He isn't Roman Reigns, he looks like a giant emo. Those tattoos just kill any credibility he has. Anybody with stars, and flowers or birds, or whatever the fuck it is he has on his chest, I can't really tell, has completely lost me. Face? Again, emo. Not credible. He's also a twig. He looks like if you gave him a backbreaker, he'd snap in half like a Kit Kat.

Ok, great, he's tall, but there's been a lot of tall guys who didn't make it. It all depends on how the moron in charge sees him.

LOL exactly and all that belly fat makes him look ridiculous

What d Goldberg or Lesnar have to do with anything rofl




Dude looks like a heel and he's a hill at 6'8. What do you think he's wearing 8 inch lifts? Look at his legs. This was some of the dumbest shit I've responded too.
Someone mentioned he reminded them of Goldberg, plus the two guys are the best monsters ever in this business, along with Taker of course.

One move squash matches are lame and this guy bores the shit out of me. It seems like 'the look' is making some of you wet but he's shown me nothing so far.

I don't even find him that intimidating. When I watch his weekly squash match all I see is a friendly giant pretending to be a badass. I don't buy him as a 'mysterious badass' character at all.

No doubt his look is a big thing going for him.

The only problem he has is the hair on the top of his head which looks like it's thinning. If he loses that in a couple years he'll either look like Hogan or be just another generic bald guy with tattoos.

Baron Corbin is impressive in my view. He has charisma around him like aura. The dude doesn't need to talk at all. All he does is let his moves do the talking for him. To me he is kind of already ahead of some guys on NXT. I am looking forward to his 2-3 minutes match with Bull Dempsey.
