In an interview with the Phoenix New Times, Baron Corbin spoke about various topics. Here are the highlights.
On carrying the briefcase with him everywhere he goes:
“It actually is very hard. The thing is bright blue and says Money in the Bank in giant letters. So walking through the airport, everybody’s staring at you, looking at what it is, or there’s a lot of people at the airport that want to take pictures now. And you’re carrying this bright blue briefcase and it’s not light. I’ve got my contract in there, too. It’s a carry-on, so it’s with me 24/7.”
On responding to fans on Twitter:
“[Laughs] Well, you know, it’s funny, because especially in the Twitter world, people are safe. They know that whatever they say, there’s no repercussions for anything. So every once in awhile, I’ll fire one back if I have something clever or witty to put somebody in their place. And it’s really funny, too, because you get one of two responses: they either block you and they’re mad because a thousand other people are saying something to them or they realize, ‘Aw, I shouldn’t have said that because he is actually a real person and he replies.’ Or they try to make it funny, like ‘Oh, you made my day [because] I riled you up.’ But it entertains me at times. I mean, people are insane when it comes to social media. They can just say and do whatever they want on it. And it’s a forum for people to complain about everything, so every once in awhile I like to entertain myself by putting them in their place.”
