In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, Tom Pestock (fka Baron Corbin in WWE) discussed several topics, including the creative pitches he made to the company prior to his release.

“We sent in two great pitches, one of them I had involved Chad Barbash, he’s one of my favorite writers to work with, becuase he’s very creative and he’ll help me mold it into a true wrestling pitch.

We sent an idea that was a whole thing and it was going to get six people involved, and it was not centered around me, it was centered around a group of different individuals, it was breaking guys like Carmelo off, Andrade off into different things.

I’ve always been a guy of, how can I get other people around me and bring them up, not sending in a pitch like, I do this and jump Cody Rhodes and I win the World Title, that’s not my pitch, my pitch involved LA Knight, Carmelo, Andrade, Apollo Crews, Garza, how can we involve all of these people and make it an interesting story, those are the type of pitches I sent in.”
