Colt Cabana has been wrestling since 1999  and in that time he has worked for ROH, Wrestling Society X, the WWE, OVW, FCW and a few other indies. Cabana is outspoken, funny and a bit off the wall but is one helluva worker when the bell rings. In the midst of wrestling he can also be found opening for Mick Foley when they do stand-up at select comedy clubs. Cabana took a moment from his busy schedule to talk to Examiner.com

Q.You've spent a lot of time in ROH, what makes it different and
almost cultish?
A. It's underground.  We've gained an underground following.  We don't
have to listen to "the man" or be a part of corporate America.
Because we don't have any creative restraints or glass ceilings, our
performers go balls out and put on consistently memorable performances
and shows.
 Q. Your time in OVW, what is that like? As an OVW alum I have to say
my time there was the most fun I've had in the business.
A. I always really liked Danny Davis (OVW owner), but it was one of the
worst times in my life.  Fortunately I made a lot of great friends and
we were able to keep ourselves sane.  The fans there were always great
too.  I did learn a lot in OVW and it was a great learning experience.
Q. Who would be the dream opponent for Colt Cabana?
A. My dream opponent was Johnny Saint and I was able to wrestle him for
1PW in Sheffield, England this past July.  It was a true dream come
true.
 Q. Did it bother you to be called up to the WWE just to job and then
get sent back to OVW? Do you see yourself back in the WWE soon?
A. Your facts are incorrect as it was FCW.  I also was able then to get
called back up to the road again while performing my WWE.com show that
I was very proud of.
A lot of guys don't even get the call up.  That was a compliment in itself.
Q. What is your best road story?
A.I've been at it over 10 years now.  I've got so many stories.  We
recently filmed a documentary w/ Bryan Danielson. It'll be available
at www.wrestlingroaddiaries.com
Q. In five years, what will we see Colt Cabana doing?
A. Wrestling and working on various comedy projects.
Q. How cool is it that your brother works on Family Guy?
A. It's just work man.  He's worked so hard to get where he is.  He
deserves it.  Just shows how far hard work and determination will take
you.
Q. How do you change up your style for the different promotions you work for?
A.I try not to.  My style is my style and that's why a specific
promotion asks me to wrestle for them.
Q.What is next in wrestling for Colt Cabana?
A. ROH is going strong on HDNet every Monday.  Otherwise check out

Q.In the annals of wrestling, what do you want it to say about Colt Cabana?
A.Something completely different in a era of wrestling that was
predictably boring : )
