Tom Pestock, formerly known as Baron Corbin in WWE, reflects on some of his pitches for his character before his WWE departure.
Baron Corbin held many different positions in WWE. He was briefly the authority figure on WWE Monday Night Raw. He's also the man who retired Kurt Angle. However, Corbin wasn't always at the top of the card, and by the time WWE decided not to renew his contract, he was in the midst of pitching ideas for his character in an effort to reignite the spark.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Pestock reflected on a couple of his pitches that involved names like Carmelo Hayes, LA Knight, and more.
"We sent in two great pitches. One of them, I had involved Chad [Barbash], he’s one of my favorite writers to work with because he’s very creative and he’ll help me mold it into a true wrestling pitch. We sent an idea that was a whole thing and it was going to get six people involved and it was not centered around me. It was centered around a group of different individuals. It was breaking guys like Carmelo off, Andrade off into different things. I’ve always been a guy of, ‘How can I get other people around me and bring them up?’ Not sending in a pitch like, ‘I do this and jump Cody Rhodes and I win the World Title.’ That’s not my pitch. My pitch involved LA Knight, Carmelo, Andrade, Apollo, Garza, how can we involve all of these people and make it an interesting story? Those are the type of pitches I sent in."
