11 Wrestling Legends Who Became WWE NXT Trainers

NXT Trainers
WWE

Steve Corino knows the wrestling business inside out, having been on the books of latter-day ECW, early-day TNA, and Ring of Honor before finding his way to WWE as a trainer earlier this year.

And, following a prolonged retirement tour that saw him compete all over the US independent scene, as well as a couple of dates abroad, he must have a thing or two to teach the younger generation about endurance and the travails of a life on the road.

Despite a wealth of experience, Corino is still among the more chipper trainers too at just 44, and as such you can't necessarily rule out him one day soon getting back in the ring - be it in NXT or elsewhere. For now though, he's a straight coach - and by all accounts a damn good one.
