Second generation professional wrestler “Prince of Old School” Colby Corino took to Twitter to give some unfortunate news.

“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.”

Corino goes on to say, “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.”

Independent wrestler Sean Henderson has created a GoFundMe to help Corino in his road to recovery. “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.” Henderson also states that he wants to hold two massive benefit events for him.

We wish Corino the best in his recovery.
