Baron Corbin Interview: On hair, heels, pressure, the genius of Paul Heyman

Think you know 'Constable' Baron Corbin?! Think again... He's awesome! Here he chats SummerSlam, the issues with getting a hair cut in WWE, getting advice from Paul Heyman and feuding with Finn Balor.

[@Eshan-]

Man he's such a cool guy

[@herbertrossman2275]

He's a jackass

[@elosobratto3802]

and you are a mark

[@stalebread8384]

Badass look, badass theme song, great moveset. Why don't people like Corbin again?

[@koba9421]

Stale Bread because he worked the smarks on Twitter

[@CtKEngage]

I always felt like he was booked to act like a high school bully, instead of more like when he started off in 2016 coming to the main roster. Big fan of Corbin, but the constable character to me is eh. He's much better than that.

[@Bryan_K_27435]

Because of the booking

[@ArmwrestlingPreacher]

Who cares ??? Did you hear what Randy is doing backstage ? And still everyone likes him, and btw, what Baron did is just a small thing next to what Randy Orton did.

[@joshuaarmendariz9246]

Stale Bread awe man i love that dude😀i love his deep6/end of days finisher&ilove his entrance theme song!

[@gothicwigga]

Baron Corbin is awesome in his new role

[@wammygames7627]

WTF? Lone wolf is better

[@tinsoldier1983]

He comes across REALLY well in this interview.

[@emeraldcitypictures6274]

Never would have thought a year ago that Corbin would be one of the most consistently entertaining parts of WWE programming every week. Big props to the guy.

[@chrono050]

Always liked him now I really enjoy this gimmick

[@AgeofJP]

and now he's the new gm of raw...what a path for a guy who was a mid-carder just a few months ago

[@joshtremoglie8119]

Baron Corben is my favorite wrestler and he's just awesome

[@red8527]

Corbin should be the next Paul Heyman guy.

[@MrOzair78]

Heel Haseeb I agree

[@kylepace1680]

YES!

[@Ruddze]

Good call

[@wwe52891]

The badge is a cool idea

[@joeblack534]

No it's not

[@nottheoriginalhandle]

Yeah it is man

[@wwe52891]

joe black Steve Austin carried a badge back when he was the sheriff of raw in 2003. He was funny as fuck with that badge. Having Corbin shove his badge in faces would add to the character of constable Corbin.

[@kylepace1680]

I really dig the constable push. It proves that he's more than just a big dude, hes also reliable to work multiple segments a night and still wrestle, while delivering in ring and on mic. I can honestly say that I did not see this much coming out of Baron Corbin back when he was in NXT

[@JSmithHendricks]

Very cool guy and great performer

[@SlyCarey]

Ive done a complete 180 on him. Great guy

[@antondudley8654]

Made him keep the struggle for an extra year Vince a savage lmao 😂😂 😂

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+Anton Dudley, I cut my hair about a month a ago (best decision I ever made), when I made up my mind to do it, I literally had to wait 4 days (as I work 12 hours shifts), an I can't stress how horrible it was to carry around that extra weight for 4 days. But a whole year, that's dedication, I remember waking up on the day before cutting it, where I picked up the clippers and said to myself "If I go quick, hop in shower, skip breakfast I'll still be able to get to work on time", but then told myself "I've never used clippers before, what if I fuck the whole thing up, what if they brake mid-haircut, what if I have a black out" so I waited an extra 24 hours (an it felt like a decade).

[@TheSilversonGR]

I think that the company appreciated it. I mean compare this to some other wrestlers that when they don't like something they jump on the social media and try to push WWE's hand

[@WweFan93x]

His definitely gotten more popular now his changed his look 🙌🏻❤️

[@Andre-jb2er]

The next Universal Champion and member of the new Autority of Raw

[@PaulPlaysMinecraft]

Love they can just be real now in any interview

[@blvckdoll]

This was a great interview. I didn’t like that Baron was the constable whatever😅 at first lol cause I’m just not used to the change but it’s good to hear Corbin say that he likes showing range.

[@Yeezydude7115]

I think the "Constable" gimmick is to keep him from taking his shirt off

[@profileone5655]

Why would he not take his shirt off? Will all those tattoos to show off

[@blvckdoll]

Yeezy Dude that was mean😅

[@knightshiningarmour]

Yeezy Dude he doesn't even look that bad, but I get it, he's not batista or lashley or triple h

[@kingex3]

or zack ryder or xavier woods or the miz or elilas..

[@gator9339]

@@profileone5655 Because his stomach always looks sad 😞

[@TheAnnette]

I remember years ago MVP also said that WWE didn’t let him cut his hair while he was there.

[@mattywright9714]

Man i just love baron corbin

[@Noslen4Ever]

Baron Corbin!!, great guy playing a great character!!, awesome!!, Go Constable!! :)

[@steph322]

Love Baron he's great.

[@mystyrain5754]

Wow he's so cool, nothing like his character.

[@DipItInLove]

He's really improving on all levels now that he's constable/temporary GM now. I hope he becomes Universal Champion someday, and holds it hella long.

[@notjaysday]

He was such a worthless character for so long... And now this change in his role (and finally that HAIR) has made him far more interesting. This is coming from someone that had zero interest in him before, when he was "Boring Corbin."

[@FedorMachida]

He looks a lot better now, imo. I hope they keep pushing him. He is a talent for sure.

[@BADBOY-go4mv]

he dose a great job of playing the heel

[@FStyleWWE]

You can call Paul Heyman and say: "Hey man..."

[@johnnymorningstar2855]

Honestly it took a while for the Constable thing to grow on me but it did. He was so bland before that but I can see him having a good future in wwe. Polish the mic skills a little and you got a star. I'm sure he can get there

[@uchihadeity1158]

I've never found Corbin boring or bad as a character. In fact the first time i saw him was in a random match on NXT (which I generally don't watch) and he essentially squashed some guy in like 1 min 34 seconds and i was impressed at how well executed his succession of moves were and put together he was for a big in ring competitor and really hoped he came to main roster (much like at the time Sami Zayn). And then he did and I loved his stringy long hair, genuine high school bully style gimmick (better done than Jack Swagger to me) and dark slight goth/biker lone wolf style as well as how he could draw such ire from the WWE universe like they didn't just WWE hate him but almost as if they genuinely hated him as a person. And all that spoke to me of what a good heel is supposed to do and be. The constable role has been interesting so far and I definitely like it more than Corporate Kane

[@onthaticeburg_ess6542]

Uchiha Madara no they hate him because he talks shit on twitter

[@brightblackgrouse6236]

was waiting for more interviews, nice

[@a1sauce111]

Are you the real white Steve Harvey? I had no idea you were interested in wrestling!!!

[@brightblackgrouse6236]

lol i love rasslin

[@sunnylal888]

As soon as he said i need a badge i thought of hhh and austin and that funny ass promo. Do that little laugh you do austin ke ke ke

[@doug2731]

Seems he's starting to come into his own.

[@ProjectUri]

Finn Balor is 37. They talk about him like he’s 20 something just cuz he’s small LMAOOO

[@HoNoRey]

He doesn't look like a 37 years old man though.

[@ProjectUri]

Jack GreenCock He does look young. But just saying in general.

[@kitkatnat19]

Why does everyone think he’s small!? Since when is 5’11 small

[@KevinchuWylde]

It also happened with Rey Mysterio. They treated him like he was a child just because of his height lmao.

[@kitkatnat19]

Trevon Womack Everyone’s small compared to Corbin lmao

[@myko7014]

Baron always disappoint as wrestler, but this new role is actually really good

[@wammygames7627]

Baron is awesome as a wrestler moron.

[@artvasch147]

Most underrated guy to come up from NXT, in my opinion. Really enjoying his transition into the Constable deal. I don't understand the whole 'wear a shirt' thing, since the people who say it should wear a fucking girdle.

[@jonathanellis6097]

God, imagine having to ask your boss if you could cut YOUR hair! He explains it well though, still it seems a bit sufficating!

[@xLordOfNothingx]

Seems more than logical, the 3d model in the upcoming yearly videogame, pictures that are already out for the coming months PPV etc etc big bucks involved with something as inocous as cutting your hair

[@ZombieRoca]

Baron Corbin is without a doubt my favorite superstar in WWE right now. Right behind is Samoa Joe. WWE is wasting him

[@elfixa]

When he was on NXT he used to look's very weak to me, but now with all this constable stuff he really wins my respect.

[@nickdivito5697]

Baron Corbin best theme

[@scorpa106]

He mentioned video games and changing your look. Does that mean Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin get an updated hair look on WWE 2K19

[@AntiPatriotsFan]

I doubt it. Well, I doubt Ambrose more than Corbin. Corbin has had this look for little bit but Dean literally just got back and the game comes out in October. That is unless 2K went to his house or had him come in to scan him, which would be great.

[@ScronkFunkleberg]

Something significant always happens after they stop screening. Dean's new hair, Baron's new theme last year, Cody Rhodes' gimmick change to Stardust a few years back, Matt becoming Woken, etc.

[@rachelcatleyquinn9520]

Dean might not, Corbin definitely will.

[@greetings.haveaniceday.7162]

Seems chill.

[@demolitionsmash74]

Great interview with Constipated Corbin !!!!!!!

[@BroskiRIP]

"he's a tough kid..." Isn't Finn about 5 years older than Corbin?!

[@onthaticeburg_ess6542]

he says "kid" because he's small

[@onthaticeburg_ess6542]

compared to corbin

[@BroskiRIP]

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 That's a dumb way to use the word then. Never heard of an old, shrunken man called "kid". Think it's because Finn looks about 26.

[@Cloudmaker2814]

well spoken

[@bobbyrayparris6711]

I like the new character

[@TheKrimeScene]

Maybe Michael Hayes can help Lashley out... LOL.

[@amidsummernightssharpshoot860]

It's as if shaving that head has transformed him. Went from a balding Hot Topic reject to a sharply dressed heel. Pretty cool.

[@AndyJmovies]

Seems like a cool guy

[@jomega3751]

He seems really likable which is a bit shocking lol

[@shellbacksclub]

good dude.

[@nickredman3596]

Baron Corbin looks like he’s pretty nice guy outside of wwe Look I’m pretty sure they all are nice The divas and the guys It’s all fake They are in character in wwe

[@mikelowry9360]

Did you say Cuntstable or Constable 😞

[@EmbraceTheK-Pop]

0:10 if that was randy instead of corbin..... BOY...

[@raspymorten]

Okay, good that it's something he wanted to do, and not something he felt pressured to do or whatever.

[@spinebuster9490]

Future WWE Champion.

[@shellbacksclub]

imagine not being able to cut ur own hair without permission? 😦

[@youseuf5123]

how tall r u dude

[@sCot665]

Corbin is 6'6 And this guy must be 6'4-6'5

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Goga Gogoladze nah more like 6'3"

[@Benjydav]

hah you only see 1-2 inches there? He's comfortably 4 inches taller. From the eyes to the top of the head there is usually about 4-5 inches and removing the hair his head comes to Corbin's eyes or just above.

[@mukhtarilyasu9055]

wwe please give Baron Corbin a fear title shots.

[@cwp4eva]

So Vince owns their body now?

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+William Phelps, It's bullshit (an I don't deny what Corbin is saying was said to him, but what Vince told him was false). Look at Taker, look how much of a difference his haircut made to him, he didn't get permission, the same with Triple H. Vince literally did it to fuck with him.

[@pisto30]

Buuzzsaw Touched Me You really think Corbin's in the same category with those two? LMAO. They didn't get permission because they didn't need to! Because they're THEM.

[@VXGaming]

They sign a contract which most likely includes personal image. Rusev got heat for doing it without permission and while Buuzzaw brings up Trips and Taker, Taker and Trips being off TV mostly allows them abit of freedom.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+pisto30, It's sound's like your going against what I said, but I agree with you 100%, which is why I mentioned Triple H and Taker. Vince was purely fucking with Corbin because he could, an the only reason he allowed him to cut it is because Vince thinks it will benefit his new character (which it does), but at the same time it wouldn't of hurt his character/made any difference if he did it a year ago, an again Triple H and Taker are example's of why it doesn't hurt someone.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+xVAMPMANx Gaming, Yeah, but put it this way, Gimmic wise I think we all agree that Undertaker's gimmic works better with long hair. But at the same time, did it effect his Merchandise sales, WWE ppv sales etc etc? An the same goes for Baron Corbin, in fact Corbin looks better with short hair/no hair, an for the past 2/3 years we've all been saying he should get rid of it, so I think this is more of a shitting with someone because you can thing. P.S. An I speak from experience, as my Boss makes me do all kinds of shit I don't want to do, but I know for a fact he makes me do certain shit just to mess with me.

[@jamessinclair4835]

My name is panakahalama but yes I was once called Baron Corbin

[@DrLipkin]

"He's a tough kid." He's older than you.

[@wammygames7627]

Finn is small lol

[@lexithomas3163]

Age doesn’t matter.

[@TenjiBenji]

I didn't think he'd suit the shaved head but it's completely new with The lone wolf would've been great had he no been going bald but it is what it is

Huhhh, he CAN talk

[@GhostBoytv]

fakidor is that you

[@matwol1365]

Baron Corbin looks better w/o hair. Bald is beautiful like Kurt Angle.

[@wammygames7627]

Storyline from Constable back to Lone Wolf Stephanie and Triple H starts to make Baron Corbin life a living hell, Baron, Bobby and Drew have a rivary with Braun, Finn and Kurt until wrestlmania, Braun pin Baron and after the match Bobby and Drew attack Baron cause he was too weak and after a few months Baron Corbin returns with his Lone Wolf gimmick and start a mission to get his revenge on Bobby and Drew and become face

[@karlhungus3904]

Wow. Some faces really need hair

[@thechamp8685]

Hes A Monk

[@Jacob-lx7fq]

They should give Corbin the badass ass whooping fearless motherfucker gimmick that strikes fear into people's hearts, an avenger or punisher kind of guy, like stone cold or kane, I feel like WWE can't produce a good persona anymore, the booking is horrible.

[@vicenteservantesservices9446]

So are you cool

[@deborahdeacon6851]

Baron needs to hold much up

[@HeavyJ713]

He had to get permission to cut his hair? That's stupid .

[@dus10Bish0p]

Heavy Jay no it isn’t. Think about branding. There is video games, toys, merchandise, commercials, etc. a drastic change to a characters look would be a blow to branding.

[@ghostlyrazgriz5228]

Rusev got in trouble a while back when he cut his without permission. It was worse because they had just released a figure of him with longer hair

[@ivenstorm]

Second biggest show of the year? I guess Royal Rumble and Survivor Series just disappeared.....

[@bloonsfamguy]

What you talking about. Summerslam has always been wwes 2nd biggest pay per view. Royal Rumble and survivor series help make up the big 4 with royal rumble being 3rd and survivor series being 4th.

[@ivenstorm]

Yeah, I highly disagree with Summerslam being WWEs 2nd biggest ppv imo. Royal Rumble starts the road to Wrestlemania, and almost always has a pretty decent match in the Royal Rumble, and because it starts the Road to Wrestlemania, it starts the feuds that will take hold of the company for the upcoming few months. Summerslam, hasn't been 2nd biggest for a very long time. Not since the late 90s when you had Bret, Austin, Taker and the like.
