10 Wrestlers Who Should Switch Companies
3. Tom Pestock (Free Agent to AEW or New Japan)
King Corbin, Happy Corbin, Unlucky Corbin, The Lone Wolf. It says something that, in his time in WWE that the wrestler formerly known as Baron Corbin has ran with all of these gimmicks and at least tried to make them memorable. Despite being in the WWE for a few short years it always seemed like he covered a lot of ground in that time. He also weathered the storm of fan criticism of being the opponent for Kurt Angle's last match at Wrestlemania 35 as if that was somehow his fault. There was always the impression that Baron Corbin was a WWE guy for life especially as he'd never wrestled anywhere else. It was therefore a huge surprise that he was informed that his contract wouldn't be renewed in 2024.
He seems to have jumped on the chances offered to him outside of the WWE system however as he's been free to appear in GCW and MLW. Now going under the name 'Bishop Dyer' he's obviously not allowed himself to become bitter at whoever it was in WWE that didn't see anything in him.
Yet a wrestler with the talent deserves to be in a company that can put him in front of a wider audience and televised shows. New Japan would always welcome a new gaijin into the mix and AEW would be an excellent home for him if he wanted to remain in America. Tom Pestock, under whatever pseudonym he wants, deserves another crack in a major company.
