WWE News: Baron Corbin destroys fan after fat joke on Twitter
A fan took a shot at WWE superstar Baron Corbin’s physique on Twitter, and he paid the price in the form of an insult from the “Lone Wolf.”
User @CesarScorpio tweeted at Corbin using a still image from Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live, and criticized the big heel’s less-than-chiseled build. The tweet also included the seemingly required grammatical error for a social media jab, using “your” instead of “you’re.”
Hey @BaronCorbinWWE ..your a professional wrestler. Lift some weights or do a situp! Good god! #SDLive #Overrated pic.twitter.com/SrQWV1lMBn

While that bold move would have possibly been enough to garner some attention from the WWE Universe, Corbin’s absolutely ruthless reply was certainly noteworthy.
@TheCesarScorpio it's your girls fault she keeps bringing cookies over late at night

That drew a simple response of “touche” from @CesarScorpio, and other users responded to the digital savagery evoking the name of Corbin’s finisher.
@BaronCorbinWWE @DeathToAllMarks @TheCesarScorpio New meaning to END OF DAYS.

Corbin, real name Tom Pestock, has good reason to have an upper body that is perhaps not as defined as counterparts like Cesaro or Apollo Crews. Pestock, listed currently as 6-foot-8 and 275 pounds, is a former offensive lineman in American football and spent parts of three seasons in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals. His NFL website profile lists him as 317 pounds, which means he’s lost at least 40 pounds to get down from his bulkier football weight to a more agile frame.
