6 Hard truths that pro wrestling fans need to accept

#3 Baron Corbin is a decent wrestler

Lots of fans--okay, probably most of them--can't stand Baron Corbin, but does he deserve so much hate?

Baron Corbin shows up on a lot of social media posts and wrestling blogs--but not in a good way.

Fans and critics alike can't seem to fathom why this man is featured so prominently on WWE programming. They cite his lack of charisma and limited move set as part of the reason that he has a more prominent role than he actually deserves.

There are many who claim that Baron "King" Corbin has the fabled "X Pac Heat." In other words, fans don't hate his character like a wrestling heel. They hate Corbin and want him off their screens entirely.

But much to their chagrin, he keeps popping back up like a bad habit. Unfortunately, what wrestling fans need to accept is that Corbin is actually a pretty decent wrestler. His moves are crisp, he rarely botches, and--most importantly--he never legit injures his opponents, a rarity for a man of his size.

Corbin is a better wrestler than many fans want to give him credit for, and that's a shame.
