WWE decided not to sign Baron Corbin last year, ending its 12 -year term with the company. During his stay at WWE, Corbin knew various ups and downs, not only in the ring, but in contractual negotiations, noting the lessons he learned in each negotiation and the value of the bets on yourself.
Appearing on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet“Corbin has thought about the negotiation of his second WWE contract with Triple H.
“When I asked for more money, because it was my second contract, I finished my first, I did not ask to renegotiate … And then my next offer was lower than I wanted, And Hunter had a conversation with me, and he said, “Listen, you can go beyond it (with incentives)”, “said Corbin. “I said:” Yeah, if I am reserved correctly, if I am in order to pay, and all the things that are out of my control. I can’t control who you do a pencil for these things. “”
Corbin finally signed the agreement, credit triple H for having helped him to better understand the operation of WWE contracts. In a future contract negotiation, he bet on himself when another opportunity arose.
“I had a conversation, signed the contract. Two years later, Vince (McMahon) raised me in the office of the Royal Rumble, and was like” hey, you are underpaid. Let’s go for it “”, recalls Corbin. “He gave me a different affair, and I said,” No, thank you, that’s what I want. “And he said,” Do you want to bet on you? “I said,” I do it absolutely. He said: “What if we do a one year agreement?” (I replied) ” done ”.
Corbin, now struggles as Bishop Dyer, is preparing for his next chapter, hitting the independent wrestling scene for the first time in his career.
