– In the videos above, Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald talks with WWE NXT star Baron Corbin. Below are some highlights:
* His stint in the NFL helped him establish the abilities and the qualities that he needs to be successful in WWE and helped him transition from football.
* He talks about how the physicality of NXT is similar to the NFL. He does not miss pro football but misses the family atmosphere of college. Corbin says he does not miss the game of football because he loves what he’s doing now.
* He has 80-90 hours of tattoo work and all of his tattoos have to do with his family.
* The Baron Corbin character is an extension of himself. He rides a motorcycle outside of NXT and there’s the motorcycle sound at the start of his theme. He calls the character a real exaggeration of himself.
* The vest he wears to the ring is something he made for himself.
* Corbin said he wants to ride his motorcycle to the ring for his entrance.
