The King of Old School to WWE?

[The In-Crowd]

Former ECW Champion Steve Corino is backstage at RAW and is expected to get a tryout tonight prior to RAW against DH Smith. He may work under a mask. I'm also told he may be getting offered a tryout as an agent/producer as well.

Corino had a meeting recently in Stamford, CT. about the possibility of working full-time for WWE. We'll see how it goes tonight but it appears he is looking for work.

[joeman]

Didnt he say he would never work for the WWE? I guess people change minds all the time.

[Leaving after 1,600]

Wow i can't believe Corino sold his soul, atleast Mr. Wrestling 3 would never do that.

[Joekishi]

I think he said he wouldn't work for WWE ever as a performer.

I think he'll do really well especially as a talent scout.

[gsguy]

Would this be the first time Corino's been on WWE TV?

He probably wouldn't be on TV if he's going to be an agent. Pwinsider does say though that he did some enchancement work for the WWF, and was a planted "fan" who got attacked by Crush during one segment.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

WOOO!

[HMARK Center]

Wow, didn't expect that.

But, yeah, I believe he said he wouldn't PERFORM for WWE, but I guess being an agent or some such thing isn't out of the question.

That said, I know he loves working for ZERO ONE, so that's a little strange. Maybe he just wants his family in the States full time.

I heard somewhere that he quit Zero-1 recently. Or that he was gonna retire this year and become an agent there but things change I guess

Yep, he did quit Z-1. I think it would be a good fit, because there are few around that can rile a crowd like Corino does...

[Godhand]

Wait, wait a minute.
I heard 07 was gonna be his last year of wrestling.



I rememebr him saying he would never work for the re-launched ecw.

[VeggieOverlord]

Corino gets a lot of s*** but he does have a sound mind for the business. This is good news.

I think he's retiring wrestling as Corino because he just started doing his Mr. Wrestling 3 gimmick recently.

[The Line]

weird. But we'll see whats up. Maybe its less him wanting it, but more his family. There comes a time when you have to lay down your burden and do whats best for your family.

And maybe he is just going to be an agent(which is, from what I hear, a great job).

Or maybe, it'll end up just like New Jack's tryout(ie: nowhere)

[Reverend BTY]

I remember in an interview him saying he sent his resume to the WWE when ECW was starting as a road agent or writer. Either way, good luck to him.

[Lancers]

Good for Steve Corino, or as I used to call him....that guy who kinda looked like Al Snow when I first saw him....or that guy whose forehead is more sliced upon from bladejobs than Joan Rivers.

ZING~!

[Chainsaw]

I've heard many different things about Corino, mostly that he was retiring this year to spend more time with his son. Dunno what made him change his mind this time.

[Jeff Mack]

He always kicked ass. Awesome.

[Powder/The Professor]

I think he could do it. He was proficient on the Mic, had some good moves and knows the "old school" way......He'd be awfully young to be a producer and is mainstream unproven talent but I think he could do it.
