WWE Superstar Baron Corbin opens up about receiving death threats
Baron Corbin recently joined the latest episode of Out of Character Podcast with Ryan Satin, where he talked about his role as the most hated wrestler in the WWE since his joining in 2012.
Corbin then mentioned that he once received death threats from fans when he hit Becky Lynch with his “End of Days” finisher at Extreme Rules 2019 and explained why you should have a thick skin in these types of industries.
Baron was quoted saying,
“When I hit Becky with the End of Days, I was getting death threats,” Corbin said. “On a regular basis. 95% of [critics] are on the internet or safely behind somewhere they can’t be accessed. Roman said it the best one time, that he’s never met a hater in real life. That’s the same kind of thing with me. (H/t Wrestling Inc)
He mentioned how people just want to drag other people down and how you got to have thick skin.
“It would be funny if at the airport, all the guys hanging there for autographs were like open your Twitter and let me see if you’re blocked or not to decide if you can get an autograph. It’s funny, it’s the cool thing to do now in life, people just want to drag people down, it makes them feel good but my whole career has been that way with social media but now it’s 10x with the way the world is. You got to have thick skin man.”
Baron Corbin speaks about The Rock
The former NFL player discussed the reaction he gets from the fans on how he’s the worst compared to the talent he’s looked up to, speaking to him personally about how great of a job he’s doing.
“It’s funny because you have Hall of Famers or The Rock that puts me over on social media, and it’s like okay, the 200,000 people that are like ‘you’re the worst person in the entire world,’ they know more than The Rock,”
