• 0:27
  We are back five questions with ABJ here at Labor of love
• 0:31
  euphoria here at Attic Brewing Philadelphia, PA WrestleMania
• 0:35
  weekend. I am super excited for this one
• 0:38
  someone I've been a fan of for a very long time We've we've come
• 0:41
  and gone from the same places but now finally meet here.
• 0:44
  I'm joined today with. I am Colby Carino, the last
• 0:48
  passion of professional wrestling.
• 0:50
  Awesome. Let's go.
• 0:51
  I think I did that the wrong way.
• 0:51
  I think I was supposed to say in the nickname 1st and then my
• 0:53
  real name. That's all right.
• 0:54
  That's OK. We've been.
• 0:56
  You've been drinking, you know I've been.
• 0:58
  I got the water, yeah. He's been drinking water.
• 1:01
  I don't know what they put in it.
• 1:02
  But anyway, what is your current goal in life?
• 1:05
  My current goal in life is to leave wrestling better than how
• 1:09
  it was when I came up. Fucking love that answer.
• 1:12
  What are you currently doing to achieve that goal?
• 1:15
  I tried to set an example on all the shows that I go on to be
• 1:18
  like, I'm not going to say that like I'm the the best person in
• 1:22
  the world, but I like, I like to try to hold that in my spine and
• 1:26
  then make sure that there's like a, to keep in mind that like I
• 1:29
  have to hold a standard because I, I also help own a school and
• 1:32
  promotion in North Carolina, PWF and the Carolina Wrestling
• 1:36
  Academy. So I always feel like I have to
• 1:38
  set an example for my students myself, you know, and, and you,
• 1:42
  you start with just a small sample size, like a few students
• 1:45
  and then it keeps growing and growing.
• 1:47
  And then, you know, hopefully people take it, take a little,
• 1:52
  what's the word I'm looking for? You know what I'm?
• 1:53
  Looking for. I don't.
• 1:56
  Know you you lead by example. Yeah, sure.
• 1:58
  Yes, yeah. We're there.
• 1:58
  We got. What is currently holding you
• 2:01
  back? Our distraction from your goal.
• 2:03
  I don't think I really have anything holding.
• 2:05
  Me back from it. Maybe it's a little bit of a
• 2:08
  distraction that like I have my own career to focus on and of
• 2:10
  course, I would like to make myself the the best Colby Karina
• 2:14
  that can be in and take Karina, the Colby Karina to the highest
• 2:16
  heights. Don't really feel like that
• 2:18
  detracts too much from what I'm doing now.
• 2:20
  So I think it works kind of its synergy.
• 2:22
  Yeah, who or what motivates or inspires you?
• 2:30
  I think I think the most obvious answer for this is my dad,
• 2:34
  because he's always like even to this day, he's still giving back
• 2:37
  not just to the people at the performance center in WWE and
• 2:40
  XT, but like he still helps. It comes around help run the
• 2:43
  Carolina wrestling county. He still comes to PWF shows and
• 2:46
  helps run them and work on the next generation of wrestlers
• 2:50
  too. So like, and he doesn't have to
• 2:51
  do that. He doesn't make money from that
• 2:52
  as a not WWE money at least you know, but you know, I try to he
• 2:58
  set a good example, yes, for me and I'm trying to take that
• 3:01
  multiply and bring it to a bunch of new people too.
• 3:04
  When I when I hear your last name, I just think of like
• 3:08
  really hard working family. You guys just put the work in
• 3:11
  like. Oh, if you say.
• 3:12
  Something I'm, I'm like I, I watched, I watched a member of
• 3:16
  your family do a a seminar and she worked the dog shit off that
• 3:20
  entire seminar. They there was people who I
• 3:22
  thought that came in that thought they were in great shape
• 3:24
  and she quickly made them realize they were not.
• 3:27
  I always say that Allison Dangerous, the the meanest of
• 3:30
  the Korean. There's like a list and it goes
• 3:32
  Allison me and then my dad's in the nicest.
• 3:34
  Yeah, I'm right in the middle, you know.
• 3:36
  What are you grateful for and are you currently happy?
• 3:39
  I'm grateful for my family, my wife, my son, and I'm grateful
• 3:44
  that my living and being able to support them all comes from
• 3:46
  professional wrestling and that that makes me extremely happy.
• 3:50
  That's I If you go back and look at interviews from 5-10 years
• 3:54
  ago, I've always said the same thing.
• 3:56
  My goal in wrestling isn't the main event in WrestleMania.
• 3:58
  It isn't to hold the WWE Championship or be on TV for AW
• 4:03
  or whatever. It is.
• 4:04
  My goal is to make wrest living from wrestling to support my
• 4:08
  family. I'm doing that right now, so
• 4:10
  everything else that I'm doing is just icing on top of the
• 4:12
  cake, you know? Yeah.
• 4:13
  I'm very grateful for you doing this.
• 4:14
  I appreciate it. Where can people find and
• 4:16
  support you? Oh, you can find me on the the
• 4:19
  Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it at Colby Carino.
• 4:23
  You can find me on Instagram at Colby dot carino because some
• 4:27
  someone got the ACT Colby Carino.
• 4:28
  I don't know who it is, but I'm tracking them down.
• 4:31

• 4:33
  It's his and that. Anything else?
• 4:36

  And then of course, you can visit my merch store online

• 4:47
  I don't got no TikTok. Yeah, I'm for sure.
• 4:50
  You're a good dancer speaking. Good dancers.
• 4:54
  Yes, Thank you. It's my question with ABJ.
• 4:56
  We'll see you guys on the next time we're out of here.
• 5:39
  We're back five questions with AVJ now.
• 5:42
  One of the things it personally annoys me.
• 5:45
  I, I, I, unfortunately, as a content creator, have to kind of
• 5:48
  go into the trenches of the the Internet wrestling community,
• 5:51
  which sometimes can be a very positive place, but could be a
• 5:54
  very negative place. And a lot of people hear some
• 5:56
  names of generational talent and they say, oh, they only have
• 6:00
  what they have because insert father, insert mother, insert
• 6:04
  cousin, brother, whatever it may be.
• 6:06
  And I always say like, you have to have some kind of skill to
• 6:09
  get to that next level. How do you navigate that?
• 6:12
  How do you, what do you, I mean, I know the answers, but what do
• 6:14
  you do to other like to show others that it's not always
• 6:17
  about that. It's about your work rate and
• 6:18
  stuff like that. I think it's a there there are
• 6:23
  definitely a few generational talents if you, if you that's
• 6:26
  what you are called, men that do try to live off of their
• 6:29
  ancestors name. But I try to, I try very hard to
• 6:32
  avoid doing that. I try not to do the moves the
• 6:34
  same as my dad. I try not to wrestle like my dad
• 6:36
  and like any like sort of similarities, like I try to, you
• 6:40
  know, I don't want to be Steve Carino junior.
• 6:42
  I want to be Colby Carino. I don't want to be looking at
• 6:44
  Steve Carino's son. I want people to look at me like
• 6:47
  my dad, like, oh, that's Colby Carino's dad, you know?
• 6:50
  And yeah, I think I answered the question.
• 6:54
  Right. Yeah, absolutely.
• 6:55
  You definitely stand on your own, but I definitely think that
• 6:58
  you still bring that flair of that last name of that, like I
• 7:00
  said, that hard work and dedication.
• 7:02
  I've always look forward to your matches.
• 7:04
  You do a great job. Some of my favorite people in
• 7:07
  the world credit you to a lot of their success.
• 7:09
  You know the Andres and stuff from back in the day at that
• 7:12
  crazy church. But.
