Steven Eugene Corino (born May 29, 1973) is a Canadian professional wrestling trainer and former professional wrestler. As of 2017, he works for the American professional wrestling promotion WWE as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center and as a producer for its developmental brand, NXT.

Corino He is best known for his tenure with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) from 1998 to 2001 and Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2002 to 2006 and from 2009 to 2016. Over the course of his career, he held titles including the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, MLW World Heavyweight Championship, NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and ROH World Tag Team Championship.

Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Early career (1994–1998)

[edit]

Corino began wrestling in 1994 and spent four years working on the independent circuit. During this time, he was a part of the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts, a promotion run by Matt and Jeff Hardy.[4] Corino began an anti-hardcore gimmick on the independent circuit, because he felt he would have more chance of getting work if he did not work hardcore matches. He gained experience, working in Puerto Rico for the WWC, working under the ring name Lightning Kid (which had been a gimmick previously used by Sean Waltman) and also made some appearances for the WWF as a jobber from 1996 to 1998.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1998–2001)

[edit]

In 1998, Corino debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling as a heel manager. He stood out in ECW as a result of his "King of Old School" gimmick, where he would deride hardcore wrestlers, at one point invading a Limp Bizkit concert and protesting the immoral conduct.[5]

In late 1999, Corino took Jack Victory on as a manager, and became an advisor for Tajiri and Rhino. He then began feuding with Dusty Rhodes, who defeated him in a gory Bullrope match at Living Dangerously. At Heat Wave 2000, he lost to Jerry Lynn. Corino went on to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship on November 5, 2000, at November to Remember by defeating Justin Credible, Sandman and Champion Jerry Lynn in a Double Jeopardy match;[6] then to successfully defend it in December at Massacre on 34th Street (against Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible in a three way dance) and at Holiday Hell 2000 (against Justin Credible and The Sandman in a three way dance).

Due to repeated failures of ECW paying Corino his salary, he left the company on January 7, 2001, the night he lost the ECW World Heavyweight Championship to The Sandman at Guilty as Charged 2001. His friend Dustin Rhodes got him a contract in World Championship Wrestling, but he never got to make an appearance despite being due to debut at the company's third to last PPV Sin. When World Wrestling Entertainment took over WCW in March 2001, they released Corino from his contract. He went on to wrestle for many of the National Wrestling Alliance regional promotions. On April 24, he won the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship.

Independent circuit (2001–2006)

[edit]
Corino with CW Anderson

Corino continued his feud with Rhodes in his Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling promotion as well as Southern Championship Wrestling and was part of the Extreme Horsemen with C. W. Anderson and Barry Windham. He was also part of the Extreme Horsemen in Major League Wrestling with C. W. Anderson, Justin Credible and Simon Diamond. They were briefly managed by the legendary J. J. Dillon before MLW folded. Also, Corino went on to win the MLW World Heavyweight Championship before the promotion was folded.

In 2004 Corino made a number of appearances for Frontier Wrestling Alliance in the United Kingdom, where he entered a short rivalry with Alex Shane. The feud culminated in the main event match of Hotwired, where Corino defeated Shane with the assistance of then FWA Heavyweight Champion, Doug Williams.

As Steve Corino was a major part of ECW towards the end of its run, rumors swirled surrounding Corino possibly signing with World Wrestling Entertainment and returning to his ECW roots as a part of the new version of ECW, but he squashed those rumors in a posting on his LiveJournal.[7] Corino worked in various independent promotions, including Zero-One, Hustle in Japan, Ring of Honor in the United States and both One Pro Wrestling and Celtic Wrestling in the United Kingdom. He was also president of World-1 Fighting Arts, which runs shows in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

NWA Total Nonstop Action (2002, 2003)

[edit]

Corino worked for NWA Total Nonstop Action during its early days. Corino had matches with Low Ki and many other stars before leaving the promotion some time later.

Ring of Honor (2002–2006)

[edit]

Steve Corino appeared in the inaugural event “The Era of Honor Begins” on color commentary. Responding to a challenge from The Backseat Boyz, Homicide invited anyone in the locker room to be his partner. Steve Corino made his ROH debut and responded to his offer, resulting in the two facing the Backseat Boys later that night. In the course of the match, Corino turned on Homicide after Homicide accidentally hit him, Old School Kicking his partner and leaving the ring, enabling the Backseat Boyz to easily defeat Homicide.

Homicide and Corino would then begin a four-year rivalry, with Corino criticizing Homicide's lifestyle and somewhat checkered past. The feud culminated in a match at the One Year Anniversary Show on February 8, 2003, in Queens, New York, New York. Homicide was the hometown favorite, but lost to Corino following interference from The Group (Samoa Joe, Michael Shane, C. W. Anderson and Simply Luscious), Corino's entourage. After the match, Corino applied a cobra clutch to Homicide, while the rest of The Group mocked New York City, instigating a worked riot.

Corino and Homicide had a rematch August 16, 2003, at Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies which saw Corino defeated. After twenty minutes of fighting which saw both men bleeding and carrying injuries, Homicide trapped Corino in a modified STF, prompting Corino's corner man, Guillotine LeGrande, to throw in the towel, awarding the match to Homicide. In the course of the match, Corino suffered a legitimate ruptured eardrum, and permanently lost most of the hearing in his left ear following a stiff slap to the side of the head from Homicide. Homicide has since stated in a shoot interview that he is not sorry for costing Corino his hearing, claiming Corino had been stiff with him the whole match.

Homicide faced Corino for a third time on November 29, 2003, at War of the Wire in a barbed wire match. This time however, Julius Smokes threw in the towel for Homicide after Corino throttled him with a length of barbed wire. Corino offered Homicide a handshake after the match, indicating that he finally respected Homicide, but Homicide refused to shake his hand. On October 14, 2005, at Enter the Dragon, Corino returned to ROH in a tag team match that saw him team with Colt Cabana to defeat Low Ki and Homicide.

On December 3 in New York City at Steel Cage Warfare, Homicide lost to Corino in a rematch from their feud of 2003 after Colt Cabana, under a mask, interfered in the match. During the match, Homicide separated his shoulder, but opted not to have surgery. As a result of his injury, Homicide was unable to compete at the following show, Final Battle 2005. He did show up, however, but with the intent on killing Steve Corino. Following Corino's match, Homicide ran down to the ring and attacked him. Colt Cabana ran down to the ring to save Corino, only to have Homicide pour Drano down his throat.

He returned to ROH in August 2006 after a long absence, reigniting his feud with Homicide. The feud culminated on November 4 in Philadelphia, at The Bitter End when Homicide beat Corino in a Fight Without Honor. Although the two still hated each other, they shook hands after the match and Corino allowed Homicide to shave his head.

Retirement tour (2007)

[edit]

After announcing that he would retire at the end of 2007, Corino began a retirement tour and travelled to various federations as a part of the tour. On October 6, 2007, Corino won the B4W North American Championship in Morganville, New Jersey, United States from Tommy Thunda.

On November 3, 2007, Corino won an eight-man tournament in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to become the Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers Heavyweight Champion.

Corino won the Platinum Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship on December 14, 2007, after defeating Erico in Michigan City, Indiana, United States.

Corino's retirement tour came to an end December 28, 2007, when he wrestled his final match for the Showcase Wrestling Revolution in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. On that night he faced Jeremy Barnoff, Brick Crawford, and Kevin Steen for the SWR International Championship in a fatal four way elimination match.

Corino wrestled a few try-out matches for WWE over a span of two days. Dusty Rhodes, Corino's former rival, was hopeful that WWE would sign him, but he was not offered a contract. Corino stated on MySpace that while he enjoyed his time with WWE, he felt he was too "old school" for the company.

[edit]

Feud with Kevin Steen (2009–2011)

[edit]

On the December 7, 2009 edition of Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet, a video was shown hyping Corino's return to the company.[22] During early-2010, Corino formed a partnership with Kevin Steen and together the two of them started a feud with Steen's former tag team partner El Generico and Colt Cabana.[23][24] On April 3, 2010, Corino made his ROH pay-per-view debut at ROH The Big Bang!, where he and Steen were defeated by El Generico and Cabana via disqualification, when Steen used a chair on his former partner.[25] On September 11 at Glory By Honor IX Generico and Cabana defeated Steen and Corino in a chain match, when Cabana forced Corino to tap out.[26] On October 16, 2010, Cabana defeated Corino in an "I Quit" match to end their feud.[27] Following Steen's departure from Ring of Honor after December's Final Battle 2010, Corino proclaimed himself a changed man and turned babyface.[28] Corino began feuding with Mike Bennett, and the two faced each other at Manhattan Mayhem IV on March 19, with Bennett picking up the victory.[29] On May 21 at Supercard of Honor VI, Corino revealed the returning Jimmy Jacobs as the sponsor, who had helped him change his ways.[30] Kevin Steen returned to ROH on June 26 at Best in the World 2011, seemingly wanting redemption as well.

[edit]
Main article: S.C.U.M.

Color commentator; retirement (2013–2016)

[edit]
Corino in April 2013

Following the dissolution of S.C.U.M., Corino began serving as ROH's regular color commentator alongside play-by-play commentator Kevin Kelly and occasionally Nigel McGuinness.

While serving as commentator, Corino had a running feud with B. J. Whitmer and The Decade. The rivalry saw Whitmer goading "Corino" to join The Decade, with Corino refusing. Whitmer eventually revealed that he was not talking about Steve Corino but rather his son, Colby Corino, who he successfully recruiting him into The Decade. During his feud, McGuinness warned Corino that he could not attack any ROH employee or he would be suspended. After Corino attacked Whitmer with a roll of quarters, McGuinness suspended and banned him from commentary. Corino was ultimately reinstated as a wrestler and was scheduled to fight Whitmer in a Fight without Honor at Final Battle. However, Corino announced that he was scheduled to have neck surgery and that his career might end. He continued to serve as a color commentator under a mask as "Mr. Wrestling 3". During this time, Whitmer insisted that Mr. Wrestling 3 was indeed Steve Corino; he began convincing Colby that Corino had replaced him with his new wife and son. At War of the Worlds, Corino returned as Steve Corino, stating that he did not want to be the "evil man" anymore, but that after Whitmer's deeds, he would do things that he will never apologize for. At Best in the World '16 in June 2016, Corino faced Whitmer in a Fight Without Honor, but lost after the interference of Kevin Sullivan.

After losing to Whitmer, Corino returned to commentating, but during Whitmer's matches, he was continuously berated by Sullivan. At the Final Battle event, Cody, who defeated Jay Lethal, proceeded to cause chaos in the ring and then he pushed Corino. The night at the event, Whitmer said that a "brother" has to be sacrificed, which was revealed that Corino was about to fight Cody, who berated Corino's actions with Dusty Rhodes. In their match, Corino lost to Cody, which was Corino's last match in ROH. Corino's ROH contract expired on December 31, 2016.[39]

On August 27, 2021, Corino broke his retirement for a single night, appearing at the Premier Wrestling Federation's "Colby Corino's 25th Anniversary Show", where he unsuccessfully challenged his son Colby for the PWF Crystal Coast Oceanic Championship.[46][47]
