Sunday’s GCW event The People vs. GCW marked the first non-WWE match for Tom Pestock, who competed for the company as Baron Corbin.
Pestock faced Josh Barnett in a Bloodsport Match, which saw both men evenly matched throughout until Barnett ultimately won the match via submission.
Following the bout, the former WWE United States Champion received chants of “Please come back” from the crowd inside the Hammerstein Ballroom, with Pestock responding on social media.
