10 Most Effective Heel Heat Magnets In Wrestling Today

10. Baron Corbin

Love to hate? Hate to hate?

The cleverness in Baron Corbin's persistent self-promotion, with that ridiculous f*cking crown and cape, is that the gimmick should have stagnated a long time ago. His King of the Ring status is completely and utterly irrelevant and has been for a long time, yet he continues to wear it as a symbol of prowess.

Here's the catch: he doesn't care, and he knows you know that. Week by week, Corbin keeps his presence known and deliberately does nothing to alter or improve the characteristics that he's fully aware irritates the sh*t out of you. Corbin wears villainy as a badge of honour. When speaking out of the realms of kayfabe, he assures audiences that irritating f fans is a job description, and he is a man who gets up and goes to work.

Corbin excels in his role as a bad smell that won't go away. So next time you complain that you're sick of him, just remember, he's watching, and you're making him smile.
