Baron Corbin On Negotiating With Vince McMahon

[@CVVCLIPS]

[@deprosport7254]

Baron Corbin is one of those heels that makes you forget that he's a real human being outside of wrestling. I hope he comes back one day.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

Hes actually a pretty cool guy too

[@TheAnjow]

Everything he says here makes total sense. The whole "we have to make sure you're not a flash in the pan" thing is 100% why they didn't put the WWE title on L.A. Knight. The whole long-term booking mindset only works on the top level big draw stars. Not every storyline needs to be long term. The variety of the revolving door is what helps other people get over.

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

And yet guys like Sheamus get the big strap put on in 6 months. Not knocking the Irishman at all, he totally deserves everything he's earned. Just saying that Vince isn't known for "waiting and seeing." I wonder if that's more of a HHH move. Not paying big until you've proven it.

[@RossMalagarie]

Also if they book a guy as an unstoppable monster/unbeatable guy he will either get boos or cheers but they will also have to pay that person A HELL OF A LOT MORE MONEY come contract time, so they prefer 50/50 booking so they don't have to pay Stone Cold/Brock/Rock/Roman contracts where the super star has so much leverage they can get top dollar AND only work about 50 dates a year compared to working 4 days a week 48 weeks a year like everyone else

[@Mageman17]

​@@shawnheidingsfelder8179 Sheamus won the 2012 Royal Rumble because he allegedly was working out along with Triple H. They've alluded to Chris Jericho winning in kayfabe before the Rumble. Then afterwards, he just said he was trolling us.

[@1KQ_]

LA Knight based off his US title run didn't need the WWE title and wasn't at all popular enough to headline mania over Cody

[@robertt9342]

@@1KQ_. You mean the run that WWE management sandbagged….

[@CastleArchon]

You have to protect yourself in negotiations.

[@IAmToDd6691]

I'm kinda surprised they didn't get rid of Apollo as well.

[@Simon25-17]

Contracts probably. He might have settled where corbin didn't

[@landmarkcreations1183]

He was a heel and got booed in a time when the fans cheered the heels. Thats saying something

[@DexterasVI]

Honestly i see this as a chance for him to build his name back up, let the years of bad booking cool off, and then come back and have a huge run. I think Corbin has the talent and ability to do so

[@henrygvidonas9573]

What "name"? _Bishop Nomad Ski Lift The Third_ or whatever he calls himself now?

[@andrewmachado6988]

I know many fans would trash him but I always liked him and always felt he always made the best of whatever he was given.

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

💯

[@Tombraithwaite1998]

Man he was one of those guys thar was willing to give the busisness whatever he could contribute. Lost his briefcase and world title push, became the finger pointing exercise for why wwe sucked in 2018-2019 when he turned into constable corbin, was in arguably ine of the worst fueds with roman reigns of all people before he came back as the tribal chief. And when they made him retire angle they never followed up with an actual push to make him benefit from it. Not to mention the fact he got sad and happy corbin over with the crowd which was in essence just a straight burial if it wasnt for his attitude trying to sell it. Then they give him nothing and he personally requests to go to nxt because he feels like he was no longer contributing on the main roster. My hats off to the guy, he worked hard and gets hated on alot but he gave it all in the ring and was a really underrated worker with a super solid look and had an awesome signature/finisher that couldve been main event material if they didnt ruin that aswell! All in all, respect to Corbin man.

[@BoxyMan28]

Many guys in wrestling who I hoped to see have better careers. He is one of them. The biggest what if in my opinion, was Sean O Haire.

[@anthonyrivera2306]

I think that Sean O'Haire gimmick was ahead of its time.

[@dkmenace1990]

@@anthonyrivera2306 sadly he struggled to cut those promos and then he was paired with Piper to help him. never recovered once Vince fired Piper.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

One of the few wrestlers who Vince has treated better than Hunter.

[@UFCWWE69]

Theory comes to mind immediately

[@TheAc550]

Levesque struggling with the pen already.

[@dddking9284]

This is why I like Tom Pestock or Baron Corbin as a person and wrestler he's done a lot for wrestling and he's made people look good due to his style

[@ajsentertainment4125]

People like to give hhh to much credit since hhh took over he's been treating alot of great talent like shit like seth Rollins finn balor bobby lashley who got released baron cobin who also got released Braun strowman sami zayn austin theory etc. All those guys were booked way better like they deserved under vince

[@dkmenace1990]

it's funny how the NXT callup problem is alive well under Triple H plus people were worried about how guys like Ciampa and Gargano would be under Vince and despite being HHH's NXT darlings, they are not over at all since they reunited as DIY. Triple H definitely has his own unique problems as booker compared to Vince's problems as booker.

[@ajsentertainment4125]

@dkmenace1990 true and especially since most of those calls up are hhh guys and their being treated like jobbers hhh is falling off as a booker but his sheep fans won't admit it I'm sure they'd be the first to complain if it was vince

[@TheAc550]

Levesque Swallowers aren’t ready for this conversation.

[@jamiek9780]

To this day, I stand on the idea that Baron should have joined Judgement Day as soon as Damien was being outted. His image perfectly suits the group. He’s a perfect match to compete with Damien Priest. He’d immediately jump up the card in a believable way. And if he wanted to make a case to be the new leader and have a new version of judgement day in his image, I think it would be doable.

[@DanteUniverse-kv1ii]

Hes all over the place but hes not worng he did great betting on himself i dont see where he goes on from here.

[@christianking5549]

WWE really dropped the ball with this guy. If they would have just let him be himself, he would have been a star and got over with the fans.

[@dkmenace1990]

Having him wrestle in formal attire killed him before he even had a chance as the Constable.

[@sevenempestfxntoolsoad3183]

Pretty sure bro is about to show everyone what hes about. Really look foward to what he does

[@trulygiftedtunez1776]

I think he could come back and have a pretty good run

[@NoobGamerTopG]

Release Corbin and keeping KO, is the same as leaving a mansion to stay on the street.

[@thebatman1889]

Nah KO is on another level Nah I am not his fan It's just facts Dude defeated Cena in his Debut That's it

[@NoobGamerTopG]

@@thebatman1889 I hope you know wrestling is fake. KO didn't beat Cena, McMahon booked the match like that

[@maburwanemokoena7117]

This guys talents were properly used in NXT, then they destroyed him by taking him to RAW by turning him into a comedian.

[@mr.x2870]

Lets be honest his heel run suffered due to Rollin's push. He should have won a single title during his run.

[@beebodude]

WWE is doing too many slow burns trying to make sure someone isn't a "flash in the pan" and that's why they aren't making any new mega stars like they used to. Closest thing they have is Roman.

[@PoppinRods]

Corbin was never more than lower mid card. His reactions did not merit anything more than that level. What a tool.

[@dkmenace1990]

except this was when he was being positioned higher in the card and he's clearly a business first guy.

[@omegaman6494]

Vince made Corbin an upper mid carder

[@dddking9284]

Corbin was a far more skilled wrestler than some they have now he didn't even do wrestling before WWE so it shows how phenomenal he was as a performer

[@omegjonneboy4027]

I mean the caveat to Flair being a 16 time world champ, is that he lost it, 16 times and put 16 guys over, and i mean the contract is temporary, if you put asses in seats, they'll bite the bullet and pay a longer deal, but even a 2 year contract at slightly below the top guys but stil profitable, and it ends up being a flash in the pan, you didnt write it for 6 years, its only 2, and the fans got 2 years of wrestling outta you, which in the fans eyes is a long time, i mean look at the attitude era, its full of flashes in the pan but was it not worth the investment and entertainment?

[@TKDubya]

Corbin and Priest could have been the new brothers of destruction.

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

Stop that nonsense

[@ThuperSuper]

WWE has always been about 2 main things if you want to break mid-card, appearance and/or god promo. Bro had to wear something covering his top in nearly every moment involving him, and does not have Kevin Owens level of promo heat.

[@FrederickChampaguno]

Dude was on fire in NXT and then pfffffffffttttttt

[@JJLconsulting]

Total agree. You fit in easy.

[@theragoooverlord5021]

Best things he did 1) eliminate Braun Stroman from the royal rumble with authority, 2) survivor series match with the miz 3) sad Corbin.

[@Hawky111]

He was one of those Vince heels that just straight up made me change the channel. He was pretty cool when he went back to NXT. I could see him in TNA but a njpw run would be super interesting

[@littletom1978]

The whole constable Corbin storyline killed me as a fan of his character, never been since, no matter how many reboots they did. Great if has a fanbase, seems like nice guy, but strictly watching as a fan, zero interest in him and though overdue being released when finally was. just one opinion

[@dkmenace1990]

yeah, they definitely forced him to carry Raw as an authority figure and he just wasn't ready for that. and then there was the whole wrestling in business casual. Felt like a rib at times. His main event push was sadly part of the low point that WWE was hitting before COVID and AEW forced Vince to reevaluate the company and Corbin's main event push ended in dog food.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

WWE definitely fumbled his career. SO many different opportunities that they just let pass by and let him go to waste

[@neilsmith9066]

Thought he was Great as The Lone Wolf have no clue why they changed it

[@I-Am-Nemo-i-was-lost-help]

I see if you have Ball's Vince going too respect you

[@KnowPhere]

I never cared for Corbin. I always found him to be a big tall bland guy. However I saw him on UUDD and seems like a decent guy. Glad he bet on himself, takes guts ti do that

[@Mageman17]

I did believe that for a bit, then I saw that photo of him in a costume party dressed as Ace Ventura. Nobody that bland and boring would think of dressing up like that. I think he was typecasted as silent as he looked better if he didn't talk, no offense.

[@dkmenace1990]

His push didn't work at the end but there's no question he was smart for being business first with this money.

[@nicolekestner185]

Midcarder at best seen more then enough

[@dddking9284]

Yet he was bloody skilled as a wrestler

[@lol_cow]

He didnt have the it factor.

[@moodycxnt]

Corbin kinda proves WWE under Triple H / Endeavour isn't much different from Vince.

[@Samuel-eo1pj]

It comes down too the fact while the work place is much better and isn't choas like it was under vince in the end its a publicly traded company who will look out for their investors more then the talent and fans .Cuts will continue too happen because even hhh can't stop it from happening .

[@FitFreshMiami]

Even guys like James Ellsworth are trying to negotiate for Roman Reigns money

[@dallasisgood]

This story doesn’t fit well with the narrative that Vince is evil.

[@AUM_-po9sc]

That's because this didn't involve a woman.

[@RyujinRoot]

I’m sure there will be ppl that have a good relationship with Vince its just he’s evil most of the time

[@sparknazo]

Corbin was liked by Vince though this is well known which is why Corbin was always paused against top babyfaces throughout Vince run

WWE has this odd and pathetic history of bending over backwards for some of the worst people imaginable but when a backbone of the roster wants to renegotiate or be paid a little more too bad lmao.

This guy is part of the reason I stopped regularly watching WWE. Now after seeing this?.... Dude has an inflated ego that needs to get checked. He's not what he thinks he is.

[@RandomlyRandom2025]

Seriously. It seems he's confusing go away heat, with actual heel heat. 🤷‍♂️

Did you actually listen to the video? He said that he should be paid like an upper mid card guy. He never claimed to be the new Stone Cold.

@ Negotiation 101 is to ask for more than what you'd get. Even when you negotiate down, you still may get more than what you'd get. If you're truly unhappy, walk away. Risk losing out on a new deal because you know your value. It's amazing some people never get that; then again, that's on them for being so naive.
