Michael Eisner reminds me of Vince McMahon. He had a bunch of bad ideas- wanted to abandon animation altogether and lean heavily into live action movies.

Both had crazy ideas involving limos that got scrapped because somebody actually died.

Glad to see some Defunctland love in this thread. It's pretty much my favorite YouTube series. The Nara Dreamland episode is especially interesting.

Anyway, seeing the idea of Braun vs. Corbin coming off as a wet fart is pretty funny to me because there was a time when WWE really seemed to be prepping them as the next Cena/Orton feud (the early days, I mean). Braun was Raw's unstoppable monster and for a time, SmackDown appeared to be building Corbin as his counterpart. Corbin even got to be the one who eliminated Braun during Braun's Royal Rumble god run and I always saw Corbin being removed from Survivor Series 2016 as a way to keep the two separated for a little bit longer. It was always going to be an uphill battle to get the fans to buy Corbin as Braun's equal, but they scrapped that anyway by punking him out and giving him this dorky constable gimmick.

The constable gimmick is a huge upgrade from 'tryhard guy who hangs out in the high school parking lot even though he graduated like four years ago'.

When he got called into the office to get fired, he legitimately thought they were going to tell him they were giving him a raise. He completely misread all their usual,"Do better or we'll fire you" signals.

Just for the people who aren't familiar with this period of NXT, Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey were having dueling "Goldberg squashing jobbers in 15 seconds" runs, and Dempsey was jealous because Corbin was clearly better than him. Bull Dempsey was the less talented and less over guy in a loving Baron Corbin feud.

Kinda crazy to remember how into the counting gimmick for Corbin matches people were, and the very first time he had a match that went more than 10 seconds everybody in the audience started booing angrily.

Bull Dempsey was almost successful as the ersatz Samoa Joe NXT made him because they couldn't get the real thing, and then the moment they actually signed Joe they just took the biggest, least necessary poo poo in the world on Dempsey with the "I'm fat and I suck" gimmick and I'm pretty sure they had Joe squash him like three or four times in a row on his way out of the company just to make sure nobody missed the point.

Hey, he was also ripping off Eddie Kingston.

But yeah it was so weird seeing him go from being pushed as squashing people, to them having him be too fat to run for 10 seconds in a short matter of months.
