Outlook - Anybody who watches their share of indy wrestling has to stumble across Steve Corino sooner or later and he's only gotten better since ECW's death. Corino's blend of "old school" and new school wrestling has made him into on of the best workers around. Like any good old schooler he bleeds, brawls and has a distinct personality. After years doing the US indies in the junior role, Corino finally found a place to transform in ECW. Letting his charisma shine through he was one of the company's hot stars and he's transformed that into becoming one of the most original and entertaining characters around.
