Corino wins NWA Heartland Championship

A fun summer night in Milwaukee became a spot for history being made once again in not just one careers but two.

First, “The Future” Colby Corino made a successful NWA debut by submitting The Golden Boy Taylor in just under 8 minutes . Word is that Colby Corino may be the youngest wrestler in the 61 year history of the National Wrestling Alliance to win a sanctioned match.

Then in the semi-final, Steve Corino won his 60th career championship when he pinned the very talented and tough Dinn T. Moore to become the new NWA Heartland States heavyweight champion!

Questionable tatics were used but the new champion had this to say:

“Dinn T’s problems with Brandon Blaze are no concern of mine. Winning titles and earning my shot against Blue Demon Jr. for the NWA World’s title is what is on my mind. Moore was a good champion and I welcome a return match but I plan on being the champion for a long time!”

Corino and Moore will collide again in the rematch on September 18 in West Allis, WI with special referee Dysfunction! Visit BrewCityWrestling1.com for all the ticket information.
