In a recent episode of “The Takedown” podcast, professional wrestler and former NFL player Baron Corbin opened up about his transition from the gridiron to the wrestling mat.
Here are a few key moments from the compelling discussion:
Baron Corbin chronicled his journey from American football to professional wrestling, revealing, “I was introduced to a band manager on a cruise. During a conversation about future plans, I conveyed my disinterest in pursuing football due to an unpleasant experience related to an injury. He recommended pro wrestling, highlighting it as a less demanding option health-wise with increased longevity.”
Corbin’s acquaintance played a significant role in his shift to wrestling, recommending him to try WWE. Corbin recalled his words, saying, “He convinced me to give WWE a chance pointing out the lengthier career span and reduced physical toll. He reached out to his connection, Neil [Lawi], in charge of WWE’s music, who further informed John Laurinaitis. Within three weeks from that conversation, I was invited for a tryout and was eventually signed up.”
