Colt Cabana Says Joining AEW Changed His Original Plans For NJPW

Colt Cabana recently spoke with the folks at Good Karma Wrestling for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.

During the discussion, the pro wrestling veteran spoke about how he originally planned to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling full-time before joining All Elite Wrestling.

“I donโ€™t even think itโ€™s possible but this is a little inside baseball maybe or, I donโ€™t know that everyone will pick up on it but you know, Brandon Cutler and I have been trying to tag a little bit and I was like, โ€˜Hey, we should watch some Florida Brothers content.โ€™ It was an old, Japanese, early 2000, pure comedy,” he said. “They were a Japanese tag team who were clearly Japanese and saying they were from Florida and I guess it would hold a whole new meaning nowadays. Like maybe they should grab (Joey) Janela and tag up as The Florida Men but, yeah, I guess a dream match would probably be me and Cutler versus The Florida brothers for 2023 Colt Cabana.”

Cabana continued, “Really hope (Tony Khan books it). Iโ€™ll also let you know, before the pandemic, before signing with AEW, I was tagging with (Toru) Yano and I was gonna be a full-time New Japan wrestler with Yano and I made the decision to go to AEW so, maybe thereโ€™s something to me, Cutler and Yano versus the Florida Brothers and Florida Man (he laughed). I donโ€™t know if Tony will book Janela anymore but, weโ€™ll see.”
