Top Indie Star Colby Corino recently appeared on Wrestling Friends with Matt Koon, where he discussed a variety of topics such as if he has already signed a contract with the WWE.
Colby Corino said:
“I’m not sure I’d be able to do this interview if I was.”
Colby Corino also discussed receiving an offer from WWE, which was only agreed on verbally as well as how he was told by WWE that they will do a background check on him before they send him the contract.
Colby Corino said:
“I got the offer from WWE, and everything was agreed to verbally. They said, ‘Before we send you this contract, we have to do this background check.’ All good. I’ve already been background checked by them before when I did my first tryout a few years ago. Nothing new should be of surprise. I didn’t do anything wrong the past couple of years. I got nothing to hide. Everything on there, they already know. After I get my offer, I get ready to move my family down to Florida.”
Colby Corino then discussed setting everything up to move to Florida, but getting a call a day before the move was supposed to happen and being told there was a problem with his background check which he needed to handle, though it seems that he will not be going to the WWE for now as he doesn't have all the information about the situation.
Colby Corino said:
“After we did all that and get the offer, a few weeks ago, after I get the paperwork for the background check, and again starting to get a little anxious because it’s been three or four weeks and no word. Starting to come up on the date when I’m supposed to move to Florida. We were supposed to move down to Florida on Sunday, and on that Monday before, I get a call. I get told there was a problem with my background check and there was something from seven years ago that I needed to handle that, and after that, I’d be good. Now, I’m good to go, and it seems like that’s not the case anymore.”
“I don’t have all the information that I want about the situation, but I know that, for right now, it’s not a closed door, but it’s kind of a ‘not right now’ thing.”
