Happy Corbin isn’t looking to stick around longer than a decade in the ring.
Corbin isn’t the most popular wrestler in the WWE, but has proven himself to be a dependable hand for the company. We have seen nothing but heel work from Corbin since his debut in the company, so there is fresh storylines for him as a face.
During a recent interview with Rick Ucchino for Bleav in Pro Wrestling, Corbin spoke about wanting to at least compete in the wrestling ring for another 5 years.
“I’ve made some good buddies in the Food Network world. Chef Aaron May is one of my good buddies. He’s always on Guy’s Grocery Games. I want to have another five or ten years here in WWE, but eventually, like all athletes at some point, our body doesn’t keep up with our minds anymore. We may think we can go and I want to be a guy who withdraws at the appropriate time. I don’t want to be there too long,” Corbin said. “I don’t want to jeopardize — because I feel like I’ve got good stigmas about me other than everybody hates me, but that I’m good in the ring. I’m smooth, I have a creative moveset, I make things look as violent as possible, and those kinds of things. So I don’t want to be a step behind my mind physically. So I think, you know, in the next five or ten years, I’ll probably have reached that point. Then I definitely want to get into that food world, whether it’s Food Network, or it’s my own YouTube stuff, or, you know, my buddy Aaron does a lot of stuff where he’s a guest, where he’s a celebrity sponsored cook. You know, we were talking about doing the Food and Wine Festival together in Connecticut, because we’re gonna go out there for WWE and raise some good money for Connor’s Cure, so I’m going to cook out there that so there’s a lot of really cool opportunities that food will bring when I’m done throwing people like Pat McAfee around in a ring.”
