UPDATED: Colby Corino Undergoing Emergency Surgery On Neck & Back, GoFundMe Launched

UPDATE: A GoFundMe has been launched to help Colby Corino as he undergoes surgery on his neck and back. Sean McErlean launched the GoFundMe on Sunday to help Corino and family as he is out of action.

The GoFundMe, which has raised 4,156 of its $20,000 goal already, is available here. It’s described as follows:

“I’ve been very lucky to know Colby Corino for about 6 years now and can say he’s an amazing person, father, husband, wrestler and has helped so many others he’s encountered in and out of the ring. Pro wrestling is his main source of income and unfortunately Colby has suffered a serious neck and spine injury recently that will put him out for a while leaving many bills to stack up. In my blood I have 1 brother but in my heart Colby is my 2nd and I want to help him and his amazing family anyway I can do I want to create this GoFundMe along with 2 massive benefit shows I want to do for him. If you can please donate anything you can to an incredible man and family. Thank you”

“I’m sorry to everyone who has worried about me these past few days.

I went to the hospital on Thursday night and was told I needed emergency surgery on my neck and back. I never thought something like this would ever happen. I’m still processing everything, but I will be okay.

I don’t know if I’ll be in a wrestling ring anytime soon, but at this point, I just want to be able to pick up my son again.

I’m not looking forward to this long road of recovery, but I pray that my family and I make it through it

I ask that you respect me and my family’s privacy for now and not taking it personally if I do not get back to you. I appreciate everyone who’s reached out and love you all.”

On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Corino for a quick and full recovery.
