Cathy Allison Corino (born March 31, 1977 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian professional wrestler and professional wrestling manager, better known by her ring name, Allison Danger. She is also the sister of fellow wrestler Steve Corino.

Career

While in high school, Cathy Corino was a cheerleader and took part in field hockey, softball and track running. After graduating from high school, she played ice hockey for two years.

Corino's older brother Steve is a wrestler, and while working for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) he introduced his sister to the ECW locker room. Corino befriended Francine, a manager for ECW, and in May 2000 Francine and Corino attended an IWA Reading wrestling show in Reading, Pennsylvania together. ECW alumnus The Sandman's wife Lori (his usual manager) was unavailable, so The Sandman invited Corino to substitute for her. Corino accepted at the urging of Francine, and enjoyed the experience, so much so that she worked for the same company again several weeks later. The next month, she joined the Independent Wrestling Federation and began training under Rapid Fire Maldonado and her brother in the IWA Cruel School in Boyertown, Pennsylvania.

Independent Wrestling Federation

Corino adopted the persona of Allison Danger, a tattooed punk. Her first match was a mixed tag match with Rapid Fire as her partner in Reading. Danger and Maldonado continued to team together, and on March 24, 2001 in Plainfield, New Jersey they won the IWF Tag Team Championships in a four way tag match. After Maldonado suffered an injury, Biggie Biggs replaced him as Danger's partner. They lost the titles to Hadrian and Damian Adams on September 16, 2001 in West Orange, New Jersey.

Independent circuit, Europe and Japan

Throughout 2003 Danger worked for Jersey All Pro Wrestling and IWA Mid South. Between July and August 2003 she toured Japan, replacing her friend Lucy Furr.

Since March 2007 Allison is touring Europe visiting England, Ireland, Wales, France and Germany. She wrestled for Ring of Honor, Irish Whip Wrestling, South Wales Championship Wrestling, German Stampede Wrestling, Queens of Chaos, World Association of Wrestling, Real Quality Wrestling and Future Championship Wrestling. During the tour she won 4 matches, lost 6 matches and drew 2 matches. She also worked for Southern Championship Wrestling in Raleigh, NC at the last-ever event at King's Barcade in the spring of 2007.

Ring of Honor

Allison Danger joined Ring of Honor (ROH) as the manager of the Christopher Street Connection, a tag team. At the first show she took her first and only table bump at the hands of Da Hit Squad. After the Connection left ROH, she became the manager of The Prophecy, a heel stable led by Christopher Daniels who opposed ROH's "Code of Honor" and was feuding with The Group, led by Danger's brother Steve Corino.

On June 12, 2004, Prophecy members Dan Maff and B.J. Whitmer turned face, abandoning the Prophecy name and firing Danger as their manager. She began feuding with Maff and Whitmer, and placed a bounty on their heads on June 24. Throughout the remainder of 2004 she hampered every action of her former clients, repeatedly costing them matches, and using her control of their contracts to book them in physically taxing matches. However, despite her efforts, Maff and Whitmer defeated the Havana Pitbulls for the ROH Tag Team Championship on February 19, 2005. Danger then briefly feuded with Daizee Haze before leaving ROH.

Danger returned to ROH at "Death before Dishonor III" on June 18, 2005 and alluded to the return of Christopher Daniels to the promotion (Daniels was pulled from all ROH show by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2004 as a result of the Rob Feinstein controversy). She reformed her alliance with Daniels after he returned later that night.

From July 2005 until Christopher Daniels left ROH in April 2007 she managed him. The same weekend Daniels left ROH, Danger gave her notice.

=SHIMMER=

Danger is heavily involved with the running of Chicago based female independent professional wrestling promotion SHIMMER Women Athletes. Danger co-runs the promotion along with Dave Prazak, as well as being an active wrestler and color commentator for the DVDs. Her notable feuds in SHIMMER have been against Rebecca Knox and Cindy Rogers.

At SHIMMER's April 26 taping, Danger suffered a fractured clavicle in the closing moments of a tag-team match with her Dangerous Angels tag-team partner Sara Del Rey against Cheerleader Melissa and MsChif. She is expected to be out of action for a minimum of two months from in-ring action.
