Corbin's NXT run is unironically exactly what his career needed
Dude just feels re-invigorated and it's like they finally understand what to do with him

I've said this for a while, but Corbin seems to "get" the wrestling business more than people give him credit for.

You’ll make more money in the long run being a mid/upper mid card guy that loses a lot than you will chasing true superstardom. 🤷🏻♂️
Corbin on that pin me pay me move.

I'd really encourage everyone to listen to this interview, it confirms my suspicions that Baron genuinely seems to be one of the nicest, more talented dudes. I could see him blowing up as a food star after his WWE run, tbh.
Also, I still contend that even though he's had a really good upper midcard heel career that they missed the boat on a world title run. I think that time has come and gone, but I hope he can come back to the main roster after Mania 40 and have a good run.

Baron, the real dude, has always come off like a Chad

I was down on Corbin's main event heel run the same way we pretty much all were, but the man behind the character has never seemed like a bad dude (beyond being all "f*** the smarks" at times, which others have been equally guilty of). Credit where it's due for not having an ego about his spot.

I also wanna add that bad as his booking has been, he has always taken what they threw at him and made it work, character wise.

I dont rate or like Corbin at all, but I can respect this outlook. Good for him.

Corbin is a solid midcard heel. He's settled into a great niche on NXT lately.

It's such good, subtle heel work directed at a very specific crowd

Baron Corbin becoming like the first dude to ever get Von Wagner to properly say something with his chest is going to stay with me forever. Unselfishness Hall of Fame.

I've always thought Corbin was solid. Not a Main Event Superstar, but a good heel that can get the heat necessary to get a face over. He just has the aura on screen that you just dislike him.... and not because he's not good at his work... but because is SOLID at what he has to do.

I became a Corbin fan when he was caught breaking character to console a child. When he got called out for it on twitter, he gave an in-character reply that it was a family member and he hates other people's kids.

I became a fan when in the middle of that raw-push thing, it was revealed/leaked by some backstage person that corbin was the chillest dude and would go out of his way to talk to and get to know ppl backstage. the dudes had such an uphill, weird career but remains consistent , and by multiple accounts, is a good guy. Ppl been saying it here for years but “he gets it”.

WWE will never have a roster full of main event worthy performers. They need wrestlers to make others look good.
