Depending on your point of view, Baron Corbin either deserves to become 'Man Of The Year' for stopping the bleeding when it comes to the archaic 'King' gimmick, or he deserves to be put on the scrap heap with other royal buffoons. One thing's for sure. Not many would say the latter to Corbin's face.

He'd pull on the 'Golden Gloves' and knock a sucker out.

Corbin's history before reaching WWE is even more colourful than his current character. He was a two-time Kansas-Missouri regional champ in boxing, and reached the quarter finals of the national 'Golden Gloves' championships too. When he wasn't KO'ing folks, Corbin was making friends with some big personalities.

He's posted on social media before about his friendship with deceased Jackass star Ryan Dunn. Besides that, Corbin also dated In This Moment singer Maria Brink and made pals with several other musicians she toured with. The 'King' is way more than his fake crown suggests.
