Baron Corbin lists Bam Bam Bigelow as one of his favorite wrestlers and the 34-year-old might end up sporting a similar look soon. Corbin recently took part in an interview with Chris Van Vliet and unveiled plans to tattoo his head just like Bigelow had, only Corbin doesn’t plan to ink flames on his head.
“Bam Bam Bigelow is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. So I’m not going to tattoo flames, but I would like to tattoo my head and getting rid of the hair was the first step to getting there,” Corbin said. “I don’t know when it is going to happen and it might actually kill my mother so it’s one of those things where I’m going to work slowly into it.”
Baron Corbin On Getting Approval To Shave His Head
Corbin also said that shaving his head was the first step towards getting his head tattooed. He said it took about 8 months to get WWE management to approve the look.
“I went and talked to Vince about cutting my hair at one point and he was like not yet,” Corbin continued. “And then I went and talked to him again and he said we’ll see what we can do. I think it has to go through the legal department and stuff like that because it’s on action figures and video games and all of those things. It’s not just one person saying ‘ok, you can do that’. If I would have showed up with just my head shaved, I’d probably be out of a job.”
When asked, Corbin also said he enjoys being booed by the WWE Universe.
“Yeah, you know people don’t really like me. It’s a good thing I guess, right? I mean, I love it. It’s awesome to me because I was always that little kid that irritated people. I remember I was in this group and one of the kid’s moms told me ‘You know, it’s always funny to this point but you always take it one more and then one more after that’. So I think it’s just in my nature to irritate people and push things as far as I can so it’s really benefited me in WWE.”
