    Baron Corbin cut a great promo on Aries this week.

    He could do very, very well on the main roster as a top heel. His ring work has improved dramatically, he has the size Vince likes and he's just naturally unlikable.

    Can't wait for this show. Should be awesome, may well be the best show of the weekend those some of those Evolve shows have incredible line ups.

    I like Corbin, his offense is believable and intense. As you say, he's naturally unlikeable too, and he can talk some as well. He'll do well

    I see him as a member of the Wyatt family when they need freshening up.

    God no. The Wyatt's are unfortunately damaged goods now. He should be called up on his own and booked as a upper to main event level heel. They desperately need heels right now too.

    Good video for Bayley/Asuka.

    Had to laugh at the commentators not knowing the names of the guys who came in to break up Joe and Bull

    I hope The Lone Wolf potatoes that vanilla midget Aries.

    I love him. Good booking. Still love his go back to ROH diss to Crews who obviously never even wrestled there.

    Virgil bummed a lift from the airport in Dallas with some fans. Stood around for 2 hours to get one as he had no money to pay for a cab. Pic:

    It was tongue-in-cheek, I like Aries but I do think there's definitely something in Corbin being the indie-killer.

    As was mine.

    I agree though. Great gimmick and he's impressing in the role.

    He's improved a ton in the ring too. Working with Joe, Gable and Jordan did wonders for him. His punches look good and I love his finisher, even if it is basically a reverse Rock Bottom :pac:

    Not seen Aries in years. Has he learned basic ring psychology yet?

    Got to agree. He used to annoy me but I've warmed to him now he's developed a proper gimmick and he's clearly been working to improve in the ring. I'm not sure about the indie killer gimmick on the main roster though given their reluctance to talk about pre WWE work. Maybe if a lot of the other former indie stars come up as well it could work.

    Pretty sure this is being universally panned. Rightly so, everything about it is cringe.

    No trolling. Aries in ROH was absolutely hopeless at selling. He would have his leg worked over for 5 minutes and 2 seconds later he is pulling a drop kick etc.

    This is Ospreay right now. Confused as to why Voices of Wrestling and a few others reckon he'll have best match of the weekend with Ricochet. He should improve a lot in New Japan though.
