Statisticians everywhere will either delight in this sort of thing or look at who's working hard and claim he still sucks. It really depends if said analysts are Baron Corbin fans of not. Even if they detest the ground he walks on, they can't deny that big Baron works his socks off. He's the first WWE star to reach 100 matches in 2019.

Fetch the confetti.

According to Dave Meltzer over at The Wrestling Observer, Corbin tops Scott Dawson (96 bouts), Dash Wilder (95, meaning ol' Scotty D has been cheating on his Revival partner in singles action), Kofi Kingston (95) and Ricochet (90). Corbin supporters shouldn't celebrate too hard though, 'cause their hero has lost 80 of the 100 and won only 20.

It's interesting that top names like AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and more aren't in the top five. Neither is perennial workhorse Daniel Bryan or, more shockingly, Mandy Rose. Only kidding. Seriously however, Baron is putting a shift in.
