Colt Cabana Talks Failed WWE Run in Rolling Stone Feature
Rolling Stone Magazine has published a feature covering the career of Colt Cabana, and the following is an article excerpt:
In 2005, Punk signed a development deal with Vince McMahon’s WWE, and soon after Colton followed in his footsteps. He was assigned to the promotion’s developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, won the Television Championship and was trained by vets like Billy Kidman, Steve Keirn and Tom Prichard. With his unique and varied skill set – Colton was the rare wrestler capable of going 60 minutes for a World Title, bringing the house down with comedy antics or taking it to the extreme in Dog-Collar matches – his future appeared bright. Colton was eventually moved up to the main roster as part of the WWE’s SmackDown brand, and there, his problems began.
“I just felt I was thought of as a first-year rookie, which is hard to do as a professional; to go into an environment where you’re not treated at a level you think you should be, or at the level you’ve been treated at going in,” Colton says. “I learned so much stuff but there’s a little bit of me that will always have a chip on my shoulder from being treated as a young boy when I don’t think I was.”
