Colby Corino made an appearance on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast to discuss a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights.
On winning the NWA Jr. Heavyweight Championship:
“It was a moment of validation. It felt like for me, like I’ve always felt like that. I never felt good enough or that, like, I just, I wasn’t a good wrestler or I wasn’t good enough to make it in the professional wrestling world, but winning that championship at NWA 75 is like such a major event, the 75th anniversary of the National Wrestling Alliance and being able to be one of these pioneers that are ushering in the new era, that means a lot to me and I intend, like, if the junior heavyweight belt I have challenged for, it feels like 10 times unsuccessfully. The first time I wrestled for the belt was when I was 14 years old against Craig Classic. And ever since then, like, it’s kind of been in the back of my mind, like that major championship that’s been held by all these legends like Shinjiro Otani, Jushin Thunder Liger and Jimmy Rave and all these names. And it’s just. It feels like that moment of, I did it and I earned this and I know that I earned this and this wasn’t a fluke, this is hard work paying off.”
On wrestling Joe Alonzo at NWA Samhain:
“ I don’t really care what people say about me, but, when you start talking about someone’s family, I feel, especially when my family’s not involved in pro wrestling, outside of my dad and my aunt, I really don’t think that they need to be brought up and made fun of, especially by someone who looks like he doesn’t even know someone named Jim. But if you have to resort to taking a low hanging fruit and calling out people’s family members that aren’t even in wrestling, I think it’s because you can’t cut it in the ring and you can’t make people excited for your matches by being a good wrestler. If the shoe fits, the shoe fits, you know? I don’t think there was ever a doubt in my mind that I was going to win, but I saw what Homicide did to him at NWA 75 and if he thought that was bad, it’s going to be, it’s going to be a new beginning. Homicide, he’s a tough dude, but let’s be honest, he’s a little past his prime, but I’m at the top of my game right now and I ain’t the champion for no reason. Everyone likes to talk about how hard I hit and how aggressive I am. It’s going to be on the next level with this dude.”

Colby Corino, the son of former professional wrestler Steve Corino, recently appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast to discuss various topics related to his career in the wrestling industry. One of the highlights of the interview was his victory in the NWA Jr. Heavyweight Championship.
For Colby, winning this championship was a moment of validation. Throughout his career, he had always doubted his abilities and felt like he wasn’t good enough to make it in professional wrestling. However, winning the NWA Jr. Heavyweight Championship at the 75th anniversary of the National Wrestling Alliance was a major milestone for him. It meant being part of a new era in wrestling and being recognized as one of the pioneers in the industry.
Colby had challenged for the junior heavyweight belt multiple times before finally winning it. He first wrestled for the championship at the age of 14 but was unsuccessful.

It was a testament to his hard work and dedication paying off.
Another topic discussed during the interview was Colby’s upcoming match against Joe Alonzo at NWA Samhain. Colby expressed his frustration with people who resort to insulting their opponents’ families when they can’t prove themselves in the ring. He believed that if someone had to stoop so low, it was because they lacked the skills to excite the audience with their wrestling abilities.
Colby acknowledged that Homicide, who had previously faced Joe Alonzo, had given him a tough match at NWA 75. However, Colby considered himself to be at the top of his game and believed that his aggression and hard-hitting style would take things to the next level in his match against Joe Alonzo.
