JBL Sees A Lot Of Himself In Happy Corbin

Baron Corbin has remained one of the mainstays of WWE after debuting on the main roster in 2016. Corbin has a lot of outside interests besides pro wrestling as well. It seems JBL sees himself in Happy Corbin as well.

Corbin has undergone quite a few transformations over the past couple of years, as he went from Baron Corbin to King Corbin, then down on his luck Corbin and finally Happy Corbin.

While speaking with Lucha Libre Online, John Bradshaw Layfield discussed the modern-day heels in pro wrestling and was asked if there’s anyone who reminds him of himself. JBL stated that Happy Corbin fits the bill and explained why he felt so.

“I’ve always thought Baron Corbin was a guy who reminded me of myself, I think Baron is a seriously smart man. Baron wants to be a heel, and very few people are like that. I am not sure if Randy Orton reminds me of myself, I think Randy is a lot better than me.

But Randy is a guy that can do anything. They are genuinely only a few every generation that really want to be heels. Piper told me the same thing, The Hot Rod did. And it’s true, guys want to be, sometimes they want to be a cool heel, they want to be and there’s all kinds of different heels, but to be a pure heel like JBL, there are simply not that many people that either want to be or have the ability to be.”

JBL previously said that he wants to manage Happy Corbin as well. Happy Corbin is currently engaged in a longstanding feud with Drew McIntyre and will square off against McIntyre at WrestleMania 38. We will have to wait and see how Happy Corbin will fare in the match.
