King Corbin was recently a guest on the After the Bell podcast hosted by Corey Graves. During the podcast, Corbin opened up about his career in WWE so far.
Corbin ended up sharing a story about a time when Matt Hardy pulled him aside on a WWE European tour to give him some praise.
Here is what he said (h/t to 411Mania for the quote below):
“Matt Hardy pulled me aside on a Europe tour and he’s like, ‘Man, I want to say thank you, because you’re a true heel, dude, and you don’t care about what the internet says or what people says, and it’s really hard to do now days, and I appreciate it.’
And then I’m going, alright, I’m good for like two years, bro, I don’t need another compliment, because you’re getting it from people who matter.”
Corbin also revealed that he wants the top spot in WWE:
“I respect Roman unbelievably, and Seth, and all those other guys, Brock Lesnar, and Cena, but I want their spot, that’s just the bottomline. I think that if you don’t want that spot, you don’t belong here, and I think that would frustrate a lot of people, because people are content at sitting in the middle, or sitting at home and getting paid, and that irritates me to no end because I’m going, ‘If you don’t want to be the best here, don’t be here, leave, because you’re hurting what we do.’”
