We reported a few days ago that WWE would be campaigning in Corbin, KY this week to get the city to rename itself after WWE superstar King Corbin.
WWE is in Corbin tonight for an event and sure enough they are indeed collecting signatures, handing out free tickets, and campaigning for the city to rename itself after King Baron Corbin.
In the below video, you can see staff members and camera crews lobbying to persuade city members to rename the city after King Corbin. A single file line forms and people begin signing an official petition. The movement is led by Dan Vollmayer of ‘The Bump’. What do you think of the attempt by WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
