Baron Corbin Reacts To Someone Trying To Shoot On Him At The Gym, More News

Baron Corbin was a recent guest on the “NotSam Wrestling” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including the time a man tried to shoot on the former Golden Gloves boxer while he was training at the gym.

Corbin said, “I went to the gym where Shayna trains and Shinsuke trains because I knew it would be safe. Nobody’s trying to hurt you. If those guys are there, it’s good. Because sometimes you walk into these gyms, and I’ve been there before. It was a gym in Arizona. I’ll never forget. When I was in there just training on a bag when I was playing football, this guy kept, ‘Hey, man, you wanna spar? We got a heavyweight [that] needs some work.’ I was like, ‘No, I’m good, I’m just training, doing some bag work.’ They’re like, ‘Come on.’ They kept egging me, kept egging me. I was like, ‘I don’t have headgear, I don’t have a mouthpiece, I’m good.’ They kept going. I was like, fine.”

He continued, “”I asked the gym owner, ‘You got headgear and a mouthpiece?’ He said yeah. I go, ‘Alright, we’ll do a little bit, man. But if you try to bang, we’re gonna have problems.’ He was like, ‘No, I’m good. We’re just gonna play.’ Sure enough, within 30 seconds, he was trying to kill me. So then I wrecked his entire eye socket. He had to go to the hospital. [Smiles] But you go to gyms all over, and it really happens, man. They go, ‘Oh, he’s a WWE star, and he was in the NFL.’ They want to take a shot, like, ‘Oh, they’re not gonna hurt me. We’re in public.’ Whatever, I cracked that dude’s eye open bad. The guy that owned the gym said he never came back after that.”

In other WWE news, Brooks Jensen was a recent guest on the “Scoop Slammed” podcast to discuss his WWE tryout in 2021 that led to him being signed. He said,

“I get to the Performance Center for the tryout, and I don’t know who the other three people were but in this tryout it was myself, Bodi Hayward, Bron Breakker, Trick Williams, Brutus Creed, and Tony D’Angelo. But yeah, the training was brutal. It was…I want to say…200 push-ups, 200 squats, 200 situps, 200 get-ups, and get back down, and then that was just a warm-up.”

He continued, “It was just full of cardio, just running in a ring, doing rolls, staying to the basics because I assume…Trick did train a little before he got there, but I was the only indie wrestler there. So this was kind of the start of what you see now as a modern-day college athlete trying out. So it was a real cool experience, but it’s really tough. And I’m really glad that I got to experience that, and I’m even more fortunate that I got signed out of that class.”
