What a chill guy, Corbin doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Dude is reliable and works safe with anyone, hope he gets another championship run.

I would love as some point he gets the World Heavyweight Title or a major championship happy he holds the NXT tag championship. The best wrestlers may not need a title but him holding would be apart of the recognition of his work
Your statement to him about appreciating everything he does as a performer is exactly what I was about to type. The man truly gets it. I hope they give him time to shine as a face before he's done. Corbin is a legitimately amazing guy.

I agree, feels like Corbin can definitely play a Babyface, you can see it in how the crowd eventually got behind him during his "Broke" phase, even if it was comedic.
I really dont give a damn what anyone says, Baron Corbin is one of my favorite wrestlers and "The End of Days" is a fucking killer finisher.

he has the best moveset. deep six is also the best signature move too. give his moveset to another person and they would be main eventing wrestlemania.

His deep six move is my favorite move in wrestling
If the rumors are true and there's a PLE in France next year, I hope he will be there. Last live event, I think he became a honorary french wrestler, with the pop he got (and deserved). Tous derrière le Baron Corbin 🇫🇷

Yeah no worries, we are already preparing ourself for Corbin and Butch it would be insane !
Baron has really grown on me the last couple years. I hope he gets a main event push at some point soon.
Hire Chris, WWE ! He'd be perfect as a backstage interviewer or official podcast host.

I would prefer to see him in a podcast or a behind the scenes specials on the talent. I feel like CVV would be wasted on a 1 - 2 minute interview person.

Not gonna lie, what Chris said at the end there rings true for me. I’ve never really been a fan of Baron, but this interview has opened my eyes and allowed me to see how great of a dude Baron is.

Yes! So awesome to see him get the props he deserves. Well earned.
Not ashamed to call myself a Baron Corbin fan, he's an amazing worker.
This channel has become a must-watch for me. Great, down to earth interviews consistently, and Chris always asks different and unique questions.
Wow - I had no idea Corbin was such a well spoken intelligent dude. Not the first time a CVV podcast made me like a superstar more.
I have nothing but respect for Baron Corbin and his work. He is really chilled and laid back, and his passion for wrestling is great. The man definitely deserves more recognition.
I love these interviews because Chris is the best at bringing out the HUMAN in the characters we grow to love and hate and it makes me respect every performer so much more
I'm so glad he's finally able to just play himself on TV... his promos in NXT have been way better, sounded more real, you can tell he's more comfortable. Chris is right in that people will appreciate him later, much like The Miz. It was great hearing him talk about his friendship with Pat, I was stoked when they started that program together, I hope they can do more stuff together in the future.

Man Baron Corbin is so underrated, been saying for years that for me personally I think this guy has the best move set out of all the current roster. Only thing i would change about him is to have him go back to the bad ass Baron Corbin we got when he first started getting on tv with the wwe. Great interview as always.
One of the most underappreciated wrestlers this century. No matter who Corbin works with you know you'll be seeing a good match. So much respect for Corbin.

He really deserves a push to be the champion...!!!
Baron so underrated. He does a better interview than 90% of the people you interview. Dude can take a question and give 10 mins if content without a single hesitation.
Gained some extra respect for Corbin thanks to this interview.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I was one of those who didn't appreciate Corbin that much before this interview. I thought he was just an average entertainer but geez, I couldn't have been more wrong about that. What an inspiring conversation! His grinning, his grinning and passion about what he does really trascend the screen. It shows that he has clear in mind what he's doing and what goals he wants to achieve. I have nothing but respect for Corbin. Now I definitely acknowledge him. Thanks both for this amazing content!
Corbin is the real deal. Former NFL player, golden glove boxer, one of the more athletic bigs in WWE. Dude is legit. I do fear he'll fall into that Dolph Ziggler position, where he'll never really break through. At least he would have a long career.
The "Sad Corbin" gimmick was very entertaining, especially those segments where they showed his struggles. "Happy Corbin" and Madcap Moss was a fun duo. Loved their mini feud with Jeff Hardy and Drew McIntyre in late 2021. He's a very cool dude on Social Media, too. Always interacting with the Fans.
Baron Corbin will probably go down as one of the most underrated performers of all time. What a workhorse
Corbin reminds me of Kane (Glen Jacobs) being unselfish with his WL
Baron Corbin’s so underrated man he’s one of the safest wrestlers he had everything to be world champion back in 2017 but wwe completely dropped the ball with him by giving him the money in the bank contract

His safety record is amazing, I think he's one of the few guys who's never had an opponent get injured working with him. I think that's what has kept him at the top of the card and relevant, other guys know he's a good, safe, worker, even if the fans aren't always behind him.
Great interview! I never get tired of listening to Corbin’s stories & I learn something every time he does an interview. Work ethic is amazing & all-around great guy who deserves more credit than he gets.
Great podcast! So much respect for baron and all he’s done in his career! Chris delivering another weekly pod that’s refreshing to hear! Love the podcast and can’t wait for more!

Much appreciated!
I was not a Corbin fan before this interview... I've always seen him as a mid-card guy at best... Now after listening to him and looking back at his matches I would agree he is main event quality and he is definitely a work horse... I have a new level of respect for him and am now a fan... Thank You CVV!!!
I’m in shock that the hour just went by so fast. I could listen to you and Corbin talk about food and stories all day long. Corbin’s character work in wrestling is amazing. You could give him the most trash uninteresting and dull characters you can think of and he will always manage to pull a reaction from you. That’s Diamond talent right there.
Baron Corbin's face is what youll find when you search underrated in the dictionary
Baron Corbin seems like such a down to earth guy he’s a great story teller

Right!
A buddy of mine and his family met Baron Corbin for Summerslam this year, he said he was the nicest guy you could meet and was so good to his two sons.
I really enjoyed this interview with Baron Corbin. He is one of the most underrated and versatile performers in WWE. He has gone through so many character changes and always made them work. I loved hearing about his journey from the NFL to WWE, his friendship with Pat McAfee, his experience working with Kurt Angle, The Rock, and John Cena, and his passion for cooking and BBQ. He seems like a genuine and humble guy who deserves so much more. Thank you Chris for another great insight into the wrestling business. You are the best interviewer in the game. Keep up the amazing work! 👏👏👏
1:13:00 That last sentence right there rings very true. I'm glad I sat through this whole interview. In fairness though, I sort of already became a Corbin fan when I watched his performance on the UpUpDownDown Games a couple of months ago. Corbin is just a natural athlete! I couldn't help but admire that.
Life’s good when you got 14 Rolexes
Hey Chris Van Vliet! You better be telling them how good I am! (Not a Baron Corbin burner account) Covid-era Corbin, Sasha, and Bayley were the absolute best. The "ringside/ fan" interaction during the crowdless shows took dedication, and I appreciated it. The anti-Cole crew.
Baran Corbin was my no 1 most hated guy but now I am started to appreciate him for making my childhood great
What a gem of a human being THIS guy is 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #LetsGoCorbin
Loved him as the lone wolf and then Sad Broke Corbin was hilarious props to him for going in on that character
I'm convinced Chris is on his way to interviewing every superstar in wwe
THE FACE THAT LAUNCHED a thousand punches. I want to dislike him but he turns crap into gold every time and he's just getting warmed up.
CVV, always my favorite watch and the content never disappoints! Thank you good brother, it's a phenomenal interview per usual
Definitely deserves another push, can’t lie and say I’ve been a fan forever but he’s a guy that’s built up so much equity with me, rooting for him a lot these days
Him and Pat Mac, are best buds? Amazing. You'd never know watching Smackdown. Stupendous interview, Chris!
Baron corbin is THE MOST UNDERSTAND SUPERSTAR ON THE WWE ROSTER AND SEEMS LIKE SUCH A GREAT GUY!! Awesome interview been waiting for this like a long causal conversation love this !!
In an alternate universe, Sad Corbin became World Champion and the biggest babyface in recent times.
Oh damn, that was a badass intro for the video CVV! I am in highschool right now and I think I will do something similar to what you did when I have to do a presentation.
I never thought I’d listen to Corbin talk for an hour but I’m not disappointed
Man we need more wrestlers like Corbin. People who don't take losses as a personal insult and instead recognise that being a good heel means that seeing you lose is a pleasure for non-smarky crowds (because they should hate your character.) I don't hear actors crying because they had to play an unlikable asshole, and I judge wrestlers by the same merit - the best are either hated or beloved, i.e. they always get a reaction. Also love his viewpoint on protecting finishers as far as possible. As for what awaits him after WWE, I don't see him not being needed. He'll either make a great trainer for up and comers, but I wouldn't bet against him becoming the perfect colour commentator one day occasionally teamed up with Pat for good measure.
I met Baron Corban accidentally once. He shopped at a Walmart I used to work at. At the time I stopped watching WWE, so I was used to his long hair, not his shaved. I was mad after a coworker told me who he was. Really missed out on that.
As an Arizona Cardinals fan... i never knew Corbin was in wait behind our O-line before his WWE career
That was a really good interview.
thank you chris for all these great interview its nice to see the superstars in the deep end and there personal life you learn alot from a great interview so thanks :)
God I’ve been waiting for a baron corbin interview he’s such a cool talented person
Another great interview with one of my faves. Thanks
I've literally never disliked Corbin. Always thought he was overlooked talent, that can go with anybody. He had the size and persona with the lone Wolf, along with some of the best music in the business. Very under appreciated performer, who's finally starting to get his flowers for real.
Corbin's match with Carmelo was one of my favourite of the year. He's became one of my faves the last few years.
I recently returned to watching wrestling, so I didn't really know who Corbin was. I had just seen what he does on TV. First impressions weren't great. But this interview totally made me a fan of the guy. Thanks Chris!
I love watching these luxury watch collection discussions whilst I spend 20 mins deciding what cheaper can of beans to buy during a cost of living crisis.
This interview was amazing! Such an insightful conversation. Corbin seems like such a great guy! Well done Chris on yet another amazing interview! 👏🏻
Numerous performers have said Corbin will be the first person there in a training session and will be the last one to leave Hands down one of the most underrated and under utilized performers on the roster. Good facial expressions, psychology, solid character 95% of the time with the other 5% being booking issues rather than him, solid promos, holds his own in the ring
I so enjoyed this interview
Wow. I didn’t realize until now… I like Corbin. He’s a real personable guy.
This was a great interview. Baron Corbin seems like a guy I could have a few drinks with and talk to hours! Good stuff.
Corbin honesty is just one of the most comforting souls in wrestling 💙
I loved this interview. Baron Corbin is such a cool dude.
He is very humble man and I respect him
I am glad he went to NXT. I want him to go back to what he once was. Maybe not as dominant but close to it so he can still get others over and do what he does best. What he does best is making others look like gold.
I'm so excited to listen to this! Thank YOU again Chris!
I wish i was able to talk like Baron he’s so comfortable and interesting to listen to
Corbin is fantastic, but fans were definitely chanting for him in Austin because they hate Gable Steveson as a person.

Chris - you are right (at the very end of the interview you said it). This is THE interview in order to appreciate Baron Corbin. Amazing.
I love that Corbin uses the same excuse with his rolex's that I use with trading cards, and we both get the same response back from our wives
Great interview!
Chris You Are Great At Doing This 💯 Respect To You Keep Your Vids Going
I love Baron since his debut on NXT..I bought his shirt a week after. I just enjoy him…no matter what WWE throws at him he always manages to make the most if it and he can’t cook! Love it and love him!! Great interview !
Have loved Baron since he was the lone wolf originally in nxt. He’s amazing and needs to be pushed asap for a wwe or world heavyweight championship!! He deserves it!!
Great interview
His finisher is my favorite!!!! Another great one Chris!
Another awesome podcast. Thank you Chris
Baron Corbin is so underrated. Its absolutely ridiculous that he hasn't won a world title yet. And his first will likely be the nxt title.
i was never a fan of corbin really.. loved his finisher and his End of Days theme.. but nothing else really.. After watching this i fully support and respect this man for what he has done and will do in the future.. and now i truly hope he succeeds to the fulliest
Baron is so cool, great interview.
Such a great interview
Sad corbin was the greatest it could have been built all the way to a title run

Before this video, I was a Corbin fan. After this video, Corbin is my favorite wrestler
This changed my whole outlook on Corbin I will now root for him ❤
Corbin is such a chill dude.
I'd love to see you interview the new day like this
Fantastic interview with a class act, awesome wrestler, and even better person. Plus, an entertaining conversationalist - we should petition to get Baron Corbin on "Hot Ones" with Sean Evans, too! That would be a worthy watch!
Another Great Interview Chris💯👍
