Colby Corino
Colby Corino's journey to the top of professional wrestling is one for the ages. This Philadelphia-born wrestler has been perfecting his craft since he was just five years old, and it shows in every ounce of sweat-drenched determination that pours out of him each time he steps into the ring.
Standing at 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing in at a mere 119 pounds, Corino is not your typical wrestling behemoth. But don't let his size fool you – this Allrounder, Hardcore specialist packs a punch (literally) that belies his compact frame. With a wrestling style that blends the best of old-school technical grappling with modern, high-flying flair, Corino has earned himself a reputation as one of the most exciting young wrestlers on the scene.
Born in 1996, Corino was practically destined for greatness. His first match date? A tender December 1st, 2001 – just a kid at the time. Fast-forward to today, and this talented phenom has racked up an impressive collection of championships: IWA Puerto Rico Tag Team Championship, NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, RWC Junior Heavyweight Championship, Catalyst Wrestling Championship, and PWF Crystal Coast Oceanic Championship, to name but a few.
Corino's path to the top hasn't been without its twists and turns. He's worked for some of the biggest promotions in the business – WWE, NJPW, ROH, GCW, NWA – honing his skills against some of the toughest competition out there. And yet, despite all the ups and downs, he remains steadfastly committed to his craft.
What drives this 25-year-old warrior? Passion, plain and simple. Corino's love for professional wrestling is infectious – you can see it in every sweat-drenched pore on his face as he bounces from one match to the next, leaving a trail of broken bodies (and occasionally, a few shattered dreams) in his wake.
And yet, despite all the accolades and achievements, Corino remains humble. Ask him about his nickname – "The Last Bastion of Professional Wrestling" – and he'll just shrug it off, telling you that it's not about him, but about the sport itself.
In a very real sense, Colby Corino is professional wrestling reborn – a living, breathing embodiment of everything that makes this crazy, beautiful business so compelling. So here's to this American Tiger: may his future be as bright and untainted as his heart, and may his legend continue to grow with every passing day.
