Guest MideonMark Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Former ECW World Champion Steve Corino has lost his hearing in his left ear as a result of a ruptured eardrum suffered during his match with Homicide at Saturday's Ring Of Honor show. Corino, 30, was informed by his physician that he may regain some hearing by undergoing surgery which will keep him out of the ring for 3 months. Corino is currently planning to get a second opinion from a doctor in Tokyo when he flies to Japan to work for the Zero-One promotion. Corino can also be seen in the US as part of the Ring Of Honor, Major League Wrestling and NWA-TNA promotions on a regular basis.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Poor Corino. Aside from the hearing part, having a ruptured ear drum really sucks because your balance gets really messed up. He propably got hit in the head to hard. This happened to Nova back in the winter of 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DRAWMUH! Report post Posted August 20, 2003 isn't this the same guy who bitched about his post count going lower from the crash? I find this funny. Steve Corino is a great wrestler and I hope he gains his hearing back and makes a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Bad news. I haven't caught much of his indie stuff from recent years. But, I've been digging his Zero-One stuff. And, of course his ECW days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Wow that's horrible news, as I'm a huge Corino mark. I really hope he gains some of it, if not all, back over time. I also want to know just how in the hell this happened. I've never heard of someone just loosing their hearing in a wrestling match like this before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Little Guido's eardrum got fucked up on account of a Tajiri slap. And the aforementioned Nova injury. It's not that hard to have an eardrum rupture or hearing problems if you suffer a shot to that ear, or possibly from your head bouncing off of something. It should be surprising that injuries like that don't happen more often, or aren't reported. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 I thought it could be serious when I read an early list of the injuries he suffered at the show. I always thought that an Ear drum doesnt mend once broken. I hope im wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DRAWMUH! Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Thank god someone agrees. But now he gets to post again and probably in less than a week he'll reach the 10 000 post plateau. Then we can all give him a gold star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
