0:00.0 | I am dumb. I want to make that clear because there's nothing wrong with being dumb. |
0:04.6 | Sometimes just have to have a minute to get your head round it. Getting on to the video, though, |
0:09.0 | some people in wrestling seemingly are born to be bad guys. This is a good thing, ironically. |
0:14.8 | If you're unnatural at that, you're likely going to make it to the big time. |
0:18.0 | Given the wrestling never ends, though, sometimes you've got to try new things and damn it, against all odds, a big old baby face turned work. So I am Simon Miller, |
0:27.5 | and let's talk about some of the most surprising ones. Number 10, Baron Corbyn. Hopefully this |
0:32.6 | will have aged by the time you hear this, but WWE is wasting what they have with Baron Corbin. |
0:37.6 | He went back to NXT a few years ago to refine himself, and he did just that. |
0:42.6 | Even went back to the drawing board, got that edge back, not Adam Copeland, and thanks to an |

1:00.3 | roof as Constable Corbyn, well, it just sums this whole list up. There's no rules here. Sometimes sports |
1:07.1 | entertainment will surprise you and again. We can absolutely do more with Baron. We are just |
1:12.2 | on the tip of the iceberg. To be honest, I'm still a little bit mad about sad broke Corman. |
1:17.4 | That would have been the best baby face turn ever. Number nine, the hurricane. All the way back in |
1:23.0 | 2001, the flood does the time go. Shane Helms basically set the bar for why Goofy Wrestling for Life gimmits can be fantastic, |
1:30.3 | though, because he became the hurricane and look at the track record. |
1:34.3 | The man became a beloved memory for anybody who was watching at the time. |
1:37.3 | Let's not forget that after the invasion was over, a lot of WGW guys found themselves |
1:41.3 | Basana Nongrata too, but not Helms. |
1:44.9 | He was so popular, fans forgot where he came from. |
