Barron Corbin, who is now known as \u201cKing Corbin\u201d after winning the company\u2019s \u201cKing of the Ring\u201d tournament in September, was in Corbin Sunday where Razmus presented him with a proclamation changing the city\u2019s name to \u201cKing Corbin, Kentucky.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s my town now. I own it\u201d Corbin said as he walked to the ring with the proclamation in hand. \u201cThey all are my indentured servants for life,\u201d Corbin continued. Once in the ring, Corbin taunted the crowd with the proclamation, declaring they had to bow to the king. The king\u2019s night took a turn for the worse after that as he faced Roman Reigns in a match with the loser being forced to eat dog food. Reigns literally rubbed the king\u2019s face it, shoving his face into the bowl in the middle of the ring. The renaming of the city, even though it was just for Sunday, was mentioned on multiple media sights, and numerous wrestling news internet pages. Arena Director Kristi Balla said it was not part of a long-term plan, but, instead, a case where the stars aligned perfectly to benefit the city. During last Friday\u2019s WWE \u201cSmackdown\u201d television show, it was brought up that King Corbin had never appeared on WWE\u2019s Network\u2019s weekly \u201cBump\u201d show. In an effort to make the slight up to him, officials told him they would do their best to get a city named after him. It just happened to coincide with the upcoming WWE show at The Arena. Balla said after speaking with WWE officials, they came up with the idea of renaming Corbin during Sunday\u2019s show. To add to it, Balla reached out to Razmus on Saturday, who had City Clerk Roberta Webb draw up the proclamation. Razmus brought the petition to The Arena before the show on Sunday and was asked to make a short video presenting it to Corbin. \u201cWe just had fun with it,\u201d Razmus said, noting that while Corbin plays a bad guy, he is, in reality very nice and was very appreciative. \u201cHe was huge,\u201d Razmus added, noting the 6\u20198\u201d superstar towered over her. Balla credited Razmus for her spontaneity with the proclamation, and for being willing to go on camera and do the presentation. \u201cSuzie was such an amazing sport about it,\u201d Balla said. Balla said in addition to the millions of people who have seen video from Sunday\u2019s show on King Corbin\u2019s Instagram page, and on various youtube posts, other venue promoters and vendors have heard about it and commented to her what a great thing it is for The Arena and the city. WWE included a copy of the proclamation on its website with the story. \u201cThis was to show our city has a sense of humor and can play along,\u201d Balla said. \u201cThis is tourism advertising that you can\u2019t pay for,\u201d she added."}
