– Baron Corbin has fired back after comments made by Dave Meltzer on Thursday morning’s Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer said: that “Corbin would not be a good choice as a World Champion…at least not right now but he could be a good choice if he improves in the ring. Quite frankly, it’s hard to argue with that. Corbin could be a top star but right now he does feel like a guy more suited for the mid card.
Meltzer continued, “His promos suck. Has he improved? Yes, he’s improved a lot. Yes, he can be in a tag team main event when he’s in there with AJ Styles and Sami Zayn and do his part? Yes, yes he’s okay there with Kevin Owens as a partner. Can he be a bully to Sami Zayn in an undercard match and have an average undercard match? Yes, he can. That’s not a world champion.”
As you can see below, the Twitter exchange started after Corbin responded to WrestlingNewsCo.

Nothing says secure like a wrestler doing the you never took a bump and then blocks your comeback.

None whatsoever, he read something without context, reacted, wanted to pick a fight with a 30 year out of date comeback, and then ran. https://t.co/lbSzbwMMvu

Not at all. But you can't comment on the actors ability unless you have done it before or at least tried.

Think before tweeting. By that logic, your boss had no right to judge anyone in wrestling until 1998. Muchnick never had the right.
