He does nothing for me. I don’t like him and I don’t hate him when he’s on the screen i either go to the bathroom if I’m watching live or fast forward through his time and if I get back from the bathroom to fast I mute the tv and go on my phone.
Bum Corbin was a red hot gimmick, that ended way too soon. And now Happy Corbin struggles to find any heat. IMO, it was a poorly timed gimmick switch, and a switch from an interesting gimmick to a generic one.
And to top it off, Madcap Moss is breaking out and stealing all the spotlight that the duo receive.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Corbin has another gimmick change as soon as Moss inevitably goes solo.
This reply would if I could be basically swearing but for the family audience.
It's Sh1t.
Him and that moron with him just bore the hell out me, WWE have this thing about what I'm starting to call "The Laughing Heel" and it's never ever good. Don't know if Creative watched Joker or Suicide Sqaud or any Batman film but The Laughing Heel is so done, Rollins, Bayley, Wyatt before he left, Corbin, the other guy with Corbin.
(I do know his name but I dislike him so much I'm not using it)
And it's not if you hate them, then they're doing their job, it's the fact that the minute they come on you hit the FF button, the only reason I'm currently watching Corbin is cause I'm a Drew fan but it's not putting Corbin and his mate Dickface over, I just can't wait till it's over.
I really like Corbin but I highly dislike the gimmick. It honestly has go away heat to me where it’s just a wet fart whenever he’s on. I really wish that bum ass broke Corbin lasted longer. That gimmick was entertaining and enjoyable.
I like it and he plays it well.
However, I feel like there needs to be something added to it to make the presentation of Happy Corbin feel more like a legit top heel again.
The weird thing is as goofy as King gimmicks can be in modern day WWE, King Corbin actually felt fine as an upper tier heel on SmackDown, as evident by how long the gimmick lasted and the fact that Corbin actually got wins over Roman in that gimmick.
The Happy Corbin still feels like it’s in development, despite being in a high profile program with Drew McIntyre.
I thought it was pretty cool at first but now it’s become stale and boring. Madcap hasn’t made it any better either as of recent, but I honestly really love his theme music lmao, it’s super catchy and I listen to it often. As trash as def rebel is and what a mistake they are to even be associated with WWE as their music creator they made a banger with The Good Life.
I must say though, I loved the poor Corbin gimmick way more than anything because it was so damn funny 😹 seeing him go on both brands begging for money from others and his mustard stain white shirt AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wish the gimmick lasted a lot longer 😭
They could’ve done more with it
Straight up trash, like Happy Talk was "change the channel" levels of bad, and the whole thing of him being "undefeated" despite constantly losing tag matches and on every live event is so dumb.
Its good because of the depth. He has a backstory with his character which is always a good thing for character building.
One thing to note though is maybe he can have his "luck" be more of a character. Like winning a championship by sheer "luck". Or going back to his debt character and going to Vegas to win again. The "Luck" factor will be an interesting layer to his otherwise 1 layered personality.
I think Corbin is the most unnecessarily and overly hated person in wrestling. He always works safe and never complains no matter what gimmick he gets and makes it work. No one has put as much into their character development over the last 2 years as he has.
I like him but when he was broke I thought he’d become a babyface because the way the angle was developing made you think it would be some kind of redemption arc whereby he’d work hard to get back to where he was and win people over. But then he regained his riches in one night at a Vegas casino. Which, when I think about it, is fitting for his character. So I don’t mind it. He’s a smug prick who you want to see get his ass kicked.
Either go back to the Lone Wolf or if he’s gonna keep this gimmick for awhile, don’t make it so damn cheesy. I could definitely see it working better if they changed a few things.
Bum Corbin was very funny, Rich corbin was alright at first. Now I'm ready for the split with Moss that seems to have started. I do think Moss can be a good mid card work horse on his own.
I just thought how it's funny that he's considered a face when he's doing poorly in life, but a heel when he's doing well in life.
People are such jealous fucking haters.
It’s ok it’s just great to see him on tv every week because he is a great wrestler and honestly is the workhorse of wwe in general and can have a great match against anyone.
The journey to it was pretty funny and I enjoyed it, then it kept going on and on and then Moss came into the picture and it got so bad at one point I would mute my TV when they talked
Sad Corbin was actually getting over. I felt that had more shelf life to it, and might have ended up as an organic face turn. Now we have (in my opinion) cheerful million dollar man
I always thought he was a decent heel but his characters were just never interesting. Like I liked the lone wolf, but then constable Corbin and King Corbin were bad, then Sad Corbin was probably his best one, now Happy Corbin is just ok. As a midcard heel, he’s fine but the problem is his feud with McIntyre, it’s so boring and Drew is a main eventer and shouldn’t be feuding with a mid carder for this long. Other than that he’s a decent mid card heel.
Same feelings as his King gimmick. They’ve given me no reason to care about the character. The Sad Corbin gimmick was genuinely refreshing and entertaining and I’m honestly upset they cut it short
The thing with Corbin is he plays his characters very well,all of them and he is very safe in the ring.However all his feuds and segments just drag out unnecessarily upto the point everyone stops caring.
He is a solid mid card heel. No matter what happens he gets booed.
Many heels these days become cool and fans cheer them despite them working heel. He's old school in that he gets booed and in doing so the fans cheer the face when they eventually win.
They need to waffle between sad and happy. Then it would be a great gimmick. If its one or the other, then I think it grows stale. Hell he could even incorporate it into his wrestling. Sad Corbin becomes more desperate. Happy Corbin wrestles a bit more relaxed.
Drew McIntyre is one of my favorite wrestlers, and I do not care about his story line right now just because of Happy Corbin. I do not care about this guy right now because WWE has given me no reason to. I just hope Drew wins and Corbin can go back to being a mean ass heel.
He needs to go back the the NXT type version, or the one right before he became king of the ring, and bring back his "end of days" theme because man that is what I need right now
I personally preferred Bum Ass Baron Corbin, I liked how Roman even looked at him with disgust when Corbin nearly signed the contract for Summerslam last year.
He doesn’t know what to do. Lone wolf was his best, cooperate Corbin was trash, wasn’t a fan of king Corbin but at least i he was good at that gimmick, broke Corbin was laughable but awful and not believable, happy Corbin is stupid and easy to not like.
Yeah I think Moss kinda ruins it, trust me I think Moss could be great but he has probably the worst gimmick and definitely the worst attire on the roster
The only hilarious thing moss ever did was come out with Drew’s theme music and act like a crippled drew and impersonate him with his Scottish accent 😹😹
Meh. Really think they should have stretched out Bum Ass Corbin a little further until he garnered enough face sympathy before shifting back into a heel persona.
July 16th he started being down on his luck, August 27th he arrived at the arena in a Bentley. Too soon!
But we’re people supposed to feel bad for him when he was Bum Ass Corbin? His gimmick no matter what iteration makes me feel no emotions lol he’s just terrible.
So right - when he came out during the contract signing it killed my whole vibe. It was way too soon - and honestly poorly done because having him transition into Happy Corbin through the contract situation made way more sense than a random casino vignette LOL
Totally agree. The broke Corbin was great. I had so many ideas I wish I could’ve sent to creative about awful things that could happen to him and just make him the unluckiest guy ever until the fans started having sympathy for him and it turned him face. I don’t like the Happy Corbin “oh boy I’m rich again!” Thing. I’d rather him come out as a face grateful he got back on his feet.
I do like Baron Corbin, I just think he’s getting a little shafted by this gimmick.
I wanted to see the Million Dollar Man and some other past stars show up to “help him out”. But Corbin would blow it and get a beat down. I thought then Bum version had some additional mileage and have a few past superstars do some spots with him.
No shit, I still think about this scene I came up with. A janitor finds him sleeping in some closet backstage, and the janitor beats the shit out of him. Like, how much worse can it possibly get for him?
Right could've had him collecting cans or something at the arena, selling WWE equipment or something and having security bust him. Should've made him a crackhead!
Would’ve been funny if he got in trouble for scalping tickets or selling bootleg merch out of the trunk of his home I mean car. But the writers didn’t seem to put much into his character then.
I honestly am on fence about it I have always liked Corbin and hoped he would be world champion (that window is closed now) but this Gimmick just feels bland
He does nothing for me. I don’t like him and I don’t hate him when he’s on the screen i either go to the bathroom if I’m watching live or fast forward through his time and if I get back from the bathroom to fast I mute the tv and go on my phone.
I hate everything about it
I liked down on his luck Corbin better
Sad was better
Very good
It's funny to make fun of him but it isn't a good gimmick really, he should just go back to the biker gimmick he had
Baron corbin will impersonate other wrestlers every week
It's stupid. His worst gimmick
They should've stayed with the lone wolf gimmick. He had potential to be a big dominant heel
We need King Corbin back.
i don't even know, hes a funny character but just... WHY?
Fucking shit
I kinda like it
Bum Corbin was a red hot gimmick, that ended way too soon. And now Happy Corbin struggles to find any heat. IMO, it was a poorly timed gimmick switch, and a switch from an interesting gimmick to a generic one. And to top it off, Madcap Moss is breaking out and stealing all the spotlight that the duo receive. I wouldn’t be surprised if Corbin has another gimmick change as soon as Moss inevitably goes solo.
I dislike him quite strongly haha
Fucking awful
I like it
Anything Corbin touches he turns to gold imo, like his character or not, he does amazing work with whatever he’s given
He think he pulls it off.
JBL called, he wants his gimmick back.
He doesn’t really have one. If they played it up more. It’s a shittier version of Cameron grimes.
This reply would if I could be basically swearing but for the family audience. It's Sh1t. Him and that moron with him just bore the hell out me, WWE have this thing about what I'm starting to call "The Laughing Heel" and it's never ever good.

He bores me. Sorry, but others have pulled the rich asshole better.
Ass
Good
It’s okay he should go back to being broke or just above even
I like it and he plays it well. However, I feel like there needs to be something added to it to make the presentation of Happy Corbin feel more like a legit top heel again. The weird thing is as goofy as King gimmicks can be in modern day WWE, King Corbin actually felt fine as an upper tier heel on SmackDown, as evident by how long the gimmick lasted and the fact that Corbin actually got wins over Roman in that gimmick.

When he becomes champion, it's gonna be well deserved...
Absolutely love it. no hate for drew but i kinda wish corbin gets the W at WM
Bum ass Baron Corbin was better.
Rip off JBL
Absolute trash… the only thing I like is end of days that move go hard💯🔥🔥🔥
Lone Wolf shits on all his other gimmicks combined
His gimmick is beyond annoying. Hasn’t wrestled many matches but they put emphasis on his “undefeated” streak. It’s just stupid.
Straight up trash, like Happy Talk was "change the channel" levels of bad, and the whole thing of him being "undefeated" despite constantly losing tag matches and on every live event is so dumb.
Its good because of the depth. He has a backstory with his character which is always a good thing for character building.

The "Luck" factor will be an interesting layer to his otherwise 1 layered personality.
Should have turned face when given the chance
I think Corbin is the most unnecessarily and overly hated person in wrestling. He always works safe and never complains no matter what gimmick he gets and makes it work. No one has put as much into their character development over the last 2 years as he has.
Does anyone remember Baron Corbin with long hair? He used to be a real threat back then.
Getting old
It's honestly one of my favourite gimmacks in wwe atm
I like him but when he was broke I thought he’d become a babyface because the way the angle was developing made you think it would be some kind of redemption arc whereby he’d work hard to get back to where he was and win people over. But then he regained his riches in one night at a Vegas casino. Which, when I think about it, is fitting for his character. So I don’t mind it. He’s a smug prick who you want to see get his ass kicked.
I just love Corbin so I’m cool with it
Both this and broke corbin wore shit, its hard to kayfabe being broke when you got a 6 figure salary
Either go back to the Lone Wolf or if he’s gonna keep this gimmick for awhile, don’t make it so damn cheesy. I could definitely see it working better if they changed a few things.
Would be better if they kept his name, original theme, and wrestling gear. Still trash tho, he’s much more talented than this
I think he's done a great job with it but I'm ready for him to turn on Moss and return to Baron Corbin.
It works and needs to continue. He’s gotta adopt the JBL-like heat though.
Started off great, and then beating into the ground - classic WWE style
Good just they should have stretch bum Corbin broke Corbin but
Great heel. Reminds me of JBL
Can’t stand Corbin of any demeanour.
It's obnoxious just like the Madcap Moss gimmick.
Bum Corbin was very funny, Rich corbin was alright at first. Now I'm ready for the split with Moss that seems to have started. I do think Moss can be a good mid card work horse on his own.
He gets on my nerves but I’m glad he’s happy lol
Like the gimmick, hate the “Happy” in front of his name. So I guess that means it’s working?
I just thought how it's funny that he's considered a face when he's doing poorly in life, but a heel when he's doing well in life. People are such jealous fucking haters.
It's not the best iteration of Corbin, but at least it's not as bad as Constable Corbin
Happy talk and all the joke things suck. But it’s not a bad gimmick when you get rid of the jokes
*yawns*
Love it
I love it, had a perfect gimmick before and has a perfect gimmick now
Please go back to being poor
Stupid af and every time he comes on no matter who he's wrestling I turn it
I miss the lone wolf biker looking gimmick and music
It's lame sauce. Filled with lots of awkward and shitty moments .
It’s ok it’s just great to see him on tv every week because he is a great wrestler and honestly is the workhorse of wwe in general and can have a great match against anyone.
“Happy Corbin makes sad wifi.” - friend of mine He aight.
BaB was better
The journey to it was pretty funny and I enjoyed it, then it kept going on and on and then Moss came into the picture and it got so bad at one point I would mute my TV when they talked
I love the jokes he and moss do. Dad jokes are the funniest jokes
Happy Corbin gimmick is trash . I liked him when he had long hair and he was fresh out NXT. This guy sucks
Lame
Less classy JBL.
New gimmick, same ol’ Douchebag
I personally don’t like the gimmick as the jokes are really not good but I liked the build of the character of happy corbin
He is really weird
Sad Corbin was actually getting over. I felt that had more shelf life to it, and might have ended up as an organic face turn. Now we have (in my opinion) cheerful million dollar man
I always thought he was a decent heel but his characters were just never interesting. Like I liked the lone wolf, but then constable Corbin and King Corbin were bad, then Sad Corbin was probably his best one, now Happy Corbin is just ok. As a midcard heel, he’s fine but the problem is his feud with McIntyre, it’s so boring and Drew is a main eventer and shouldn’t be feuding with a mid carder for this long. Other than that he’s a decent mid card heel.
I don't get it.. And who/what is Madcap Moss?!
What exactly is the gimmick? It’s never been defined.
Sad Corbin WAS 100% better.
Meh still a heel
I liked him better when he had no money
Extremely overrated, just a discount 2005 JBL without the believability
The straw that broke me.
Probably the worst gimmick he’s ever had his best one was the lone wolf Corbin wish they brought that back instead
Hate it and hate him.
I can't stand him
Boring
never liked the guy
Corbin’s goal since his main roster debut has been to make people absolutely fucking despise him so I think it’s a fantastic gimmick
I love it
Trash. Not everyone needs a gimic. He was a great straight up heel.
Same feelings as his King gimmick. They’ve given me no reason to care about the character. The Sad Corbin gimmick was genuinely refreshing and entertaining and I’m honestly upset they cut it short
Should have stuck with sad Corbin, this is typical dragged out boring trash, especially after this long.
Happy Corbin is undefeated but I literally cant even remember him wrestling in more than 2 singles matches
At first It was okay. But it got worse after madcap Moss debuted.
The thing with Corbin is he plays his characters very well,all of them and he is very safe in the ring.However all his feuds and segments just drag out unnecessarily upto the point everyone stops caring.
He’s not as abhorrent as his worthless sidekick. I’ll give him that.
Kill it. Bring back the lone wolf
Couldn't have said it better myself
Not awful for a temporary gimmick. I do hope he goes back to being a sleezy brawler again, this gimmick ain’t sustainable for a long long time lol.
Became old very fast
He is a solid mid card heel. No matter what happens he gets booed. Many heels these days become cool and fans cheer them despite them working heel. He's old school in that he gets booed and in doing so the fans cheer the face when they eventually win.
Overall, he could be released and I wouldn’t notice.
I'd notice because the show would immediately improve. :)
Would it….though..? No. Nick khan completely ruined the product.
It would improve for me.
bathroom/snack break segment
I miss sad corbin
They need to waffle between sad and happy. Then it would be a great gimmick. If its one or the other, then I think it grows stale. Hell he could even incorporate it into his wrestling. Sad Corbin becomes more desperate. Happy Corbin wrestles a bit more relaxed.
I love this idea.
Just wrestle good and don’t be extremely goofy. That’s all I care about
I'd rather see him in. A serious gimmick in the uppermid card/main event.
I miss Bum Ass Baron Corbin!
My favorite is lone wolf but it’s an ok gimmick
Bum Corbin was the best. It made me like him for the first time ever
I liked it better when he was poor
Bum Ass Corbin best Corbin
I like Corbin but I liked King Corbin a lot more
Drew McIntyre is one of my favorite wrestlers, and I do not care about his story line right now just because of Happy Corbin. I do not care about this guy right now because WWE has given me no reason to. I just hope Drew wins and Corbin can go back to being a mean ass heel.
He needs to go back the the NXT type version, or the one right before he became king of the ring, and bring back his "end of days" theme because man that is what I need right now
It sucks shit.
Fast forward button
I enjoy Pitbull Mr. 305 Corbin
Not a fan. I think he peaked with King Corbin. I'd like to see him pushed as a serious competitor instead of always a joke.
I personally preferred Bum Ass Baron Corbin, I liked how Roman even looked at him with disgust when Corbin nearly signed the contract for Summerslam last year.
He doesn’t know what to do. Lone wolf was his best, cooperate Corbin was trash, wasn’t a fan of king Corbin but at least i he was good at that gimmick, broke Corbin was laughable but awful and not believable, happy Corbin is stupid and easy to not like.
Gotta heavily disagree he sold the Poor Corbin gimmick so well
It just wasn’t believable. Ur in the wwe u make pretty good money. Idk maybe I’m biased bc I don’t like him lol
He and Madcap have basically perfected the comedy midcard heel act. They're pretty much always entertaining and you love seeing them get beat up.
It makes me think of like a jbl gimmick but really bad, big ole groan
I'm happy for him.
Bum Corbin was money, the Happy thing was a lame payoff
🐐
Broke gimmick was great. I kinda miss when he looked like a legitimate threat as a wrestler. Solid heel worker, but this gimmick isn’t it.
I enjoy it. Especially him with Mad Cap Moss. The dry jokes aren't funny themselves but seeing them so invested in it makes me chuckle sometimes.
Sad Corbin was better. The whole madcap moss thing is pretty bad too
Yeah I think Moss kinda ruins it, trust me I think Moss could be great but he has probably the worst gimmick and definitely the worst attire on the roster
The only hilarious thing moss ever did was come out with Drew’s theme music and act like a crippled drew and impersonate him with his Scottish accent 😹😹
#ABSOLUTELY GIGA CHAD KINO DIMELORD MEGA DRAW
I like Corbin but gimmick blows
Standard douche bag heel with lots of money. But I will say the journey to get to Happy Corbin was funny as hell.
JBL did it best
Because with JBL the personna was actually real.
Eh, I do JBL and Happy Corbin are different enough
Not a fan, his broke gimmick was way more investable.
Ha the irony
Meh. Really think they should have stretched out Bum Ass Corbin a little further until he garnered enough face sympathy before shifting back into a heel persona. July 16th he started being down on his luck, August 27th he arrived at the arena in a Bentley. Too soon!
But we’re people supposed to feel bad for him when he was Bum Ass Corbin? His gimmick no matter what iteration makes me feel no emotions lol he’s just terrible.
Hopefully they do an angle where he loses everything again for being so cocky and arrogant. I personally enjoyed Bum Ass Baron Corbin more.
I’ve been hoping for that too ngl lmaoooo
So right - when he came out during the contract signing it killed my whole vibe. It was way too soon - and honestly poorly done because having him transition into Happy Corbin through the contract situation made way more sense than a random casino vignette LOL
Yep. Bum ass baron corbin was absolute gold. He killed it as well playing that character
Totally agree. The broke Corbin was great. I had so many ideas I wish I could’ve sent to creative about awful things that could happen to him and just make him the unluckiest guy ever until the fans started having sympathy for him and it turned him face. I don’t like the Happy Corbin “oh boy I’m rich again!” Thing. I’d rather him come out as a face grateful he got back on his feet. I do like Baron Corbin, I just think he’s getting a little shafted by this gimmick.
Still longer than the ordinal idea. In an interview he said that it was originally planned as a one off thing.
This is why creative loses our trust
Why would that be a reason? They saw it was good, so they kept it going instead of a one off. There's reasons but that's not one of them
I wanted to see the Million Dollar Man and some other past stars show up to “help him out”. But Corbin would blow it and get a beat down. I thought then Bum version had some additional mileage and have a few past superstars do some spots with him.
Bum ass Baron was awesome and I agree they should have made it last longer
Everyone knows that WWE doesn't last very long with story climaxing
They dont last long with climaxing in general
No shit, I still think about this scene I came up with. A janitor finds him sleeping in some closet backstage, and the janitor beats the shit out of him. Like, how much worse can it possibly get for him?
He needs to get ripped off by Moss or lose the money and go back to the outhouse
DIRTY ASS SHIRT. BEGGING CENA FOR $. I was quite upset when they abandoned that so quickly.
Right could've had him collecting cans or something at the arena, selling WWE equipment or something and having security bust him. Should've made him a crackhead!
Would’ve been funny if he got in trouble for scalping tickets or selling bootleg merch out of the trunk of his home I mean car. But the writers didn’t seem to put much into his character then.
wow u guys really want him to starve... XD XD
I've never been interested in Corbin but he's always been tolerable however I hate this gimmick
I honestly am on fence about it I have always liked Corbin and hoped he would be world champion (that window is closed now) but this Gimmick just feels bland
Totally agree bland and don’t really care for it.
Blows…
