Steve Corino vs Colby Corino (PWF, 8-27-2021)

PWF Colby Corino’s 25th Anniversary Show, Jacksonville, NC

This is Colby Corino celebrating his 25th birthday with a match against his father, the great Steve Corino, who got permission from WWE (where he is employed at the PC) to do the match. There were some build-up promos that also involved Allison Danger (Steve’s sister, Colby’s aunt) and it was good to see her back in wrestling if only for a moment. This has gotten some great reviews; I was already looking forward to it, but now I’m really amped up.

CM Punk & Steve Corino vs Alex Shelley & Roderick Strong (ROH, 12-26-2004)

ROH Final Battle, Philadelphia, PA

This is a GRUDGE TAG TEAM MATCH. Corino is back after 13 months gone from ROH to team with Punk against the Generation Next lads at Final Battle.

CM Punk vs Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels vs Steve Corino (ROH, 11-1-2003)

ROH Main Event Spectacles, Elizabeth, NJ

I’ve had ROH’s “Creating Excellence” two-disc DVD set sitting around for seven years since I bought it at the Chicago Ridge show when Samoa Joe was briefly back with the company in early 2014, and I guess this is a good time to finally watch it maybe. This is the first match on it!

Steve Corino vs Danny Rose (VCW, 5-27-2001)

Valley Championship Wrestling, Plymouth, PA

Here’s another rando choice from the selection on IWTV. Steve Corino is making the first defense of the NWA world heavyweight title that he won about a month before this, when he beat the legendary “Colorado Kid” Mike Rapada at an NWA Florida event in Tampa. This is just a few months after the last ECW event, with Corino having been a top star down the stretch for the dying company.

Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino (ECW, 3-12-2000)

ECW Living Dangerously, Danbury, CT

This is a bullrope match between the legendary Dusty Rhodes and young upstart Steve Corino. Dusty was kinda the guy ECW fans were supposed to hate from the Big Two, but he was also a blood soaked hero of days gone by, and, well, if you were put in ECW, you were validated by ECW. This show starts with a cringeworthy James Mitchell promo, but which of his promos weren’t?
