During a recent guest appearance on “The Takedown” podcast, WWE performer Baron Corbin shared his experiences working with John Cena in WWE and how he helped shape his “Sad Corbin” persona.
Here are some condensed insights from the podcast:
Discussing his “Sad Corbin” role, Corbin shared, “Sad Corbin was initially intended to be a brief stint, maybe two weeks or so. That was the plan at first—to create a scenario where I get upset and then bounce back. However, I found it engaging and different. It was an opportunity to showcase my versatility, so I decided to take it up a notch.”
Speaking about the valuable lessons he took from John Cena, Corbin said, “If there’s one thing I learned from Cena, it’s how to turn a seemingly mediocre role into something grand. The ‘Happy Corbin’ character was challenging and not exactly my cup of tea. My task was to turn a seemingly dull character into something exciting.”
Corbin’s full conversation is available for streaming.
On another note, during an appearance on the “Unlikely” podcast, Cody Rhodes, currently holding the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion title, talked about his own pet dog, Pharaoh, and CM Punk’s dog, Larry.
Rhodes chuckled and remarked concerning Larry, who now has his merch sold alongside WWE Superstars, “I don’t think it’s just a rumor. Pharaoh has a wider range of merchandise, including a few t-shirts and plush toys. Larry is doing an admirable job, as expected. He is well-loved at our home. CM Punk has a soft spot for Pharaoh, but I would say Larry still has some catching up to do.”
