Baron Corbin was recently a guest on Booker T’s Heated Conversations podcast. During the podcast, Corbin spoke on a variety of topics about his role as the acting RAW General Manager.
One of the more interesting parts was when Corbin revealed what Vince McMahon thinks about his character.
It turns out that Vince loves it. Here is what he said (h/t to Fightful for the quotes below):
“They’re letting me have fun with it and doing it my way and as me. And Vince (McMahon) loves it. For the last four weeks, I’ve been the first 15-minutes of Raw. That’s crazy. That’s the John Cena spot and Roman Reigns spot. And I’m doing it.
It’s a great opportunity and I love the challenge. Right now, people hate me for it and I love it. They despise that I’m on their TV six or seven times a night. If they hate me that much, they’re following everything I do.”
He also spoke about WWE fans being negative on social media:
“You can’t (look at your Twitter account). It gives a bunch of idiots an opinion and reality that they think is valid. They don’t know how to express it appropriately. It just makes the world seem so unhappy. If you read the Twitter feed, it just seems like everybody in the entire world is beyond miserable. t’s crazy how negative it is to everything. I could have 20 people go, ‘Baron Corbin should wear a red shirt on Raw.’ If I wear a red shirt, those same 20 people are like, ‘He looks terrible. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE!’ There is no pleasing it. It gives people a place to say whatever they want with no repercussions. If you took all these people and put them in front of me, their attitude changes.”
