NoDQ.com > WWE > CM Punk Affected Cabana's Chances With WWE?
Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/30/2016 at 10:37 AM
Colt Cabana recently appeared on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast and here are some highlights...
On Higher Ups Not Liking Him But Fringe Employees at Promotions Do: “[Punk] said my name and that stuff happened and all of a sudden, like, here’s the thing about that place, and here’s the thing with my career. Management hates me, everybody else on the fringe of every company, loves me.”
On Almost Being An Announcer For NXT: “They wanted me to be, I think, an NXT ring announcer, right? 2014, and I went down there. And 2013… What happened, I think, Punk’s DVD came out. I think Triple H watched it, and I think he went, ‘oh my God, this guy can talk, like, I didn’t know that.’ I was in the company for two years, but nobody tells those guys that.” Cabana continued, “and I think that’s how I got fired too, is Kevin Dunn, literally, is the rumors I hear, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, a third time, saw me on TV and said, ‘this guy? No! Get rid of him!’ I think that’s what I heard happened.”
On Not taking Steroids: “In my head, it was like, ‘I don’t want to take steroids, so I guess I won’t go to the WWE’ essentially what it was.” Cabana added, “[Mark] Jindrak and [Sean] O’Haire, I just didn’t look like those guys and those were what they were looking for. I wasn’t it, but I wanted to be a wrestler.”
On Never Thinking He’d Be In WWE: “See, I never thought I was going to be a WWE wrestler, especially at the very beginning. Yeah, I was a fan of everything. I was obsessed with everything, but when I looked at myself, I was a chubby kid, I guess athletic, like I played Division I football, Division I-A football, but when I was in that locker room, I just saw all the other guys. so all these other guys were just giants and they all had abs. I never had abs. They were just like real athletes. I was just kind of, I was good at football, but my body was never like what these guys looked like. I remember some of the football players taking steroids and stuff and being like, ‘oh man, I don’t want to have to do that!’ And I’ve stayed true to that, thankfully. Again, I think it’s self-aware, like, I am my own person, thankfully. But I just knew I wasn’t a giant and that’s what WWE was, it was giants.”
On Another Tryout With WWE, after Punk started getting “pissy” about his position in WWE: “They call me back and nothing happens. And I do a second one and I think I did really well and then, eight months, nothing happened. Eight months later, they start sending me down to NXT for three weekends in a row.” Cabana continued, “at that time, so what happened was, after the third week, and then, the fourth week, Punk ended up leaving. And then, the day after, I got a call saying, ‘I don’t think we’re interested.'”
