Just wanted to vent my thoughts on how good I think Corbin is at the minute on smackdown. The brand split has done him and his character a world of favours and I'm fully buying into his character at the minute of him being a complete all round badass who can just beat people up. Sort of reminds me of ABA Taker '03 persona.
He's not fully there yet, and theres room for improvement but he's 100% going down the right track on becoming an absolute star.
Thoughts?

I agree, he has a lot of work still but I think he's just as good as anyone else in his category. Hopefully he'll continue to improve in the ring and become more distinguished. If he's ready, I wouldn't mind seeing him main eventing this time next year.

He's on the right path no doubt.
They can't start/stop this guy like they do with every other heel if they want him to be credible.
But as long as he's on smackdown, the future is bright as could be.

Baron Corbin has grown on me to where he's one of my highlights for Smackdown. When he debuted on the main roster, he was eh at best, but over the past few months, he's really grown into his heel character. He's one of few that's really benefited from the brand split IMO

I too have grown to like Corbin more than I did when he was on NXT. Just something about his look seems off though. It might be the fact that he wrestles in a shirt. I know it's to hide his lack of definition but it doesn't look right. Works for guys like Wyatt and Owens but on Corbin it looks off. The shirt itself with the wolf is cool at least

He's really got his character down, and he's improved a lot over the last while. He was a guy who seemed like he got called up before he was ready, but in hindsight it was absolutely the right choice. He was coming up against the NXT glass ceiling and probably wouldn't have developed a lot more there, but because of the brand split, he's had more opportunity on the main roster. They've been giving him opportunities lately and he's been knocking them out of the park. He and Miz are pretty much the only two guys in the company that really commit to being heels all the time, and their characters are really different, so they don't just seem like they're doing the same thing. I'm looking forward to him continuing to get even better.

A year ago I absolutely HATED Baron Corbin. He came off as having no personality and just didn't look threatening enough as a big guy.
But now, after seeing him many times on Talking Smack, he has showed us all that he does have a personality, and he comes off pretty funny - which I think is unintentional.
The whole line of Shane saying to Corbin, "Undertaker has dug 29 holes" and Corbin saying back, "good, the world needs ditch diggers" was great!

Corbin is one of the few things I like about WWE in 2017.

Corbin has been one of the single biggest benefactors of the brand split. I said it in another thread, but I'm putting my money on him for MITB, and hoping he gets a good run with the title later this year.

I like Corbin. Tons of potential. I think if he shaved his head it would give him a more unique look.

Shocked at all the Corbin love. Been a fan of his since he stepped into NXT. He has improved in the ring and has a great look and a focused character. Hope to continue to see his role grow.

Surprised so many didn't like him more during his NXT run. IMO he has "IT" and will be a big star for WWE in the future.

Hated him in a "Get this guy off my TV way" for the longest time but he has improved since TLC when he roughed up Kalisto in that Chair match. I also liked his Ditch Digger Undertaker remark, when he demolished Ambrose at EC, and his little slide out of the ring/clothesline spot. Him against Ambrose at Mania in an Extreme Rules match could be fun.
There's still things about him that tick me off though, like having some awkward forced promos on Talking Smack at times. His edgy t shirt sucks too; Go back to the actual licensed shirt.
All in all I feel rather indifferent but he's improving.

he grew on me, especially after he was a beast in the rumble and eliminating strowman, also i believe its a good idea that the end of days is protected

Corbin's awesome IMO.
I've been a huge fan since NXT and marked like crazy when he came out at mania and even more when he won. I think he could be a big star, he's not the best in ring or on the mic but he's solid at both and has an interesting character and I hope he takes the IC belt off dean (even though I'm a huge Ambrose fan) and even more so hope he wins the WWE title soon.
