WWE SmackDown star and a former WWE United States Champion Happy Corbin who is the winner of WWE King of the Ring 2019 recently talked about how he felt when he loses a match. He revealed whether he felt bothered about it or not.
Happy Corbin joined the world of professional wrestling a decade ago in 2012 directly in WWE. He started working on the NXT and worked in the promotion for a number of years before joining the main roster. On his debut match at WrestleMania 32 he won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. It was a huge beginning for him on the main roster.
Happy Corbin Reveals If Losing A WWE Match Bothers Him
At first WWE had high plans for The Lone Wolf. He even won the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2017. But soon WWE understood he is the best fit as a mid card and he remained a mid card. He failed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. He is the perfect example of an ultimate mid card wrestler.
There is another mentionable thing about him, he never turned babyface in his entire career. Last year he went through some quick gimmick changes. At first he became Sad Corbin which became a very famous character. Soon he became Happy Corbin, the character he is still carrying. Recently he was involved in a feud Madcap Moss and he did a great job in putting him over. We hope Corbin has a great future left in WWE.
Happy Corbin who is the winner of WWE King of the Ring 2019 recently spoke to Out of Character with Ryan Satin where he talked about how he felt when he loses a match. He revealed whether he felt bothered about it or not. He said;
“I think that it doesn’t bother me as long as I have credibility. I think if you’re just a guy who goes out and loses and nobody cares, then it’s something you have to fix. But I have credibility. Like, there’s 90% of the audience that’s watching go, ‘I wouldn’t want to fight him in real life. He would destroy me.’ Then there’s always 10% of idiots that think they could stand a chance.”
“But my job is to go out there and just kind of be that big bully. I mean, how many movies does the bad guy actually win in? Very rare. I think that’s just the world we live in. People want to see guys overcome and achieve great things.”
“So I don’t ever mind it when it’s elevating someone or doing something to benefit our show. My number one priority is our show, Smackdown. As a whole, how does this whole entire show go? How do I fit into the show? How do I make this show better?
“How do I get more people to watch this show and watch what I do, and if it’s to irritate people so they can watch Madcap Moss hit me with the chair and stomp on my head with a chair and almost kill me with steel stairs, and that gives them joy, I’m all for it. But I have to have the credibility behind it and I have that. I mean, I have WrestleMania wins, I have these amazing achievements that give me credibility.”
