Interview With: Colt Cabana
Interview By: Andy Steven
Date: March 27, 2007Andy Steven: Thank
you for taking time out of your busy schedule to take part in this
interview for
www.PWMania.com. How did you break into the wrestling business and
what have you been up to recently?
Colt Cabana: I broke into the wrestling business much like the
Kool-Aid man. I burst through the wall of my local wrestling training camp
saying "OOOOOOOOOOH YEAH"!. Recently, I've matured a lot. I'm now a man of
Crystal Light! It's much healthier.
Andy Steven: How did you get in contact with Ring of Honor or who
brought you into the company?
Colt Cabana: CM Punk and I had been working very hard on the
Midwest Indy scene and eventually also over to the East Coast too. Word
had spread of our sillyness and there were interests by both sides to work
with each other. The rest is history.
Andy Steven: You got your break in ROH with current ECW wrestler CM
Punk, with you being CM Punk’s sablemate in the Second City Saints. What
are your memories of teaming with CM Punk and the Second City Saints and
do you still keep in contact with CM Punk?
Colt Cabana: Punk and I have been a team since basically the first
month I was training. We travelled the roads together a very long time.
Same with Ace Steel, the other member of the Saints, and our trainer. I
loved teaming and wrestling Punk. He's my brother in wrestling and life. I
talk to him everyday.
Andy Steven: You have wrestled around the world from the USA to the
UK to Japan. Where do you most enjoy wrestling?
Colt Cabana: Obviously I love wrestling in Chicago. A) It's my
hometown B) I don’t have to travel very far to wrestle. When it comes to
international wrestling, I think the answer will always be England just
for the appreciation of the days of World of Sport and the fact that I'm
following in the footsteps of many of my British wrestling heroes.
Andy
Steven: You won the ROH tag team championship with CM Punk. How did
that run go and would you rather be in singles action or tag team?
Colt Cabana: Again. Punk and I gel'd together as a tag team because
we grew up in wrestling together. We were a team in real life. I don't
mind either way when it comes to wrestling. Tag team or singles are both
fine. As long as I get to have fun and put oil all over my body before I
enter the ring.
Andy Steven: You were involved in a great feud with Homicide and
Homicide strangled you with a metal coat hanger, you were bleeding from
chair shots, having Draino poured down your throat, being piledriven off
the ring apron through a table and getting your head crushed between a
ladder. Tell is about this feud and how much thought was put into it?
Colt Cabana: There was no thought put into it at all. I went out
there a fought for my life for 8 months. Homicide was by far the TOUGHEST
opponent I've ever had to deal with in my wrestling career. When I look
back at what we did, I think it made me a much better wrestler all around
and I have no regrets for anything that happened.
Andy Steven: After you got your revenge from Homicides actions in a
brutal Chicago street fight you challenged Bryan Danielson for the ROH
Championship. In one title match you two fought to a 60-minute time limit
draw in a two out of three falls match, how was it wrestling for such a
long period of time?
Colt Cabana: It was very hard to wrestle that 2 outta 3 falls match
at Chi-Town Struggle. About 40 minutes into the match I couldn't even feel
my legs. The people of Chicago honestly pushed me all the way until the
end where I thought I was going to win 1 fall to 0. Unfortunately, that
wasn't the way it turned out, but I'll take a Draw over a loss anyday.
Especially to the most talented wrestler on the scene today, Bryan
Danielson.
Andy Steven: You have also made several appearances for WWE. Tell
us about your experience with WWE and are there any talks going between
yourself and WWE or maybe in the near future?
Colt Cabana: I have done many preliminary matches for WWE and
they're always enjoyable. My favourites to wrestle I would say were
Eugene, Trevor Murdoch and Matt Hardy. I didn't have one bad experience
though.
Andy Steven: What is your opinion on current WWE/ECW and TNA
programming?
Colt Cabana: I don't love to watch WWE. I watch it though and
appreciate that there's pro wrestling on TV for free. The same goes for
TNA. I think TNA's just trying to beat WWE which is hilarious, but
hey...if it was easy to run a successful televised wrestling company,
everyone would have a show, right?
Andy Steven: I would like to thank you very much once again for
taking this time to take part in this interview for
www.PWMania.com,
I wish you the best of luck in the future and do you have any messages to
say to your fans?
