5 Superstars who failed at other sports but succeeded in wrestling

#4 Baron Corbin

Corbin wasn't meant to hunt with the pack

"The Lone Wolf", and the new United States Champion Baron Corbin won his first championship at Hell in a Cell 2017. Before being a wrestler, Corbin was a talented amateur boxer, in fact, he was a three-time Golden Gloves winner. While Corbin has been successful in combat, he failed in the trenches.

Going undrafted out of Northwest Missouri State University in 2009, Corbin was signed, released, then signed and released again by the Indianapolis Colts. Corbin was signed by the Arizona Cardinals in 2010 and got into a fight during practice once.

After being cut from the Cardinals practice squad in 2011, Corbin found his way to NXT. Standing at 6'8", Corbin possessed the physique Vince McMahon craves in his Superstars.

Corbin debuted on the main roster at WrestleMania 32 in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which he won. Corbin has also won the Money in the Bank ladder match, the United States Championship, and his End of Days finisher has yet to be kicked out of.
