Colt Cabana

1. What made you decide to become a professional wrestler? Who trained you?

Ever since I was old enough to talk, I've always said I wanted to be a Pro Wrestler. I was always a real good athlete growing up, but always said that Pro Wrestling was the ultimate sport. It really takes a special athlete to excel in pro wrestling. I was trained in Chicago, IL at the Steel Domain. My trainers were/are Danny Dominion and Ace Steel. They were great and I wouldn't of changed a thing.

2. What promotions do you and have you worked for?

Currently I'm fulltime wrestling for ROH in Philly, IWC in Pittsburgh, MMWA in Upper Michigan, MAW in Milwauke, NWA MCW in Chicago, NWA ACW in Greenbay, IWF in Detroit, IWA Midsouth in Lower Indiana and a whole host of other promotions around the country. Some of the other promotions that I've only worked for a couple times, but really had a blast wrestling for are groups like IPW Hardcore in Florida, Rev Pro in Los Angeles, HWA in Cincinatti, Chikara in PA and JCW in New Jesey.

3. What has been your most embarassing moment in the sport?

I would say some embarassing moments of my career would be when you do those really shitty shows with really crappy wrestlers on it. There's usually like that one hot chick that's randomly sitting in the crowd. Now normally I probably wouldn't have a problem approaching her thinking that I'm this slick pro wrestler guy, but in this case I feel like a pud because she's probably like who's this pud that wrestles in front of 15 people and has no life. That's embarassing and really the downfall of wrestling, if not America.

4. Who would be your dream opponent or dream partner to step into the ring with?

I never know how to answer this question. I tagged w/ Scorpio, but I've always wanted to wrestle him. Plus, I've always wanted to wrestle guys I liked growing up like Orndorff and Muracco. As far as dream tag partners, I'd love to share the ring w/ Terry Gordy (rip).

5. What wrestlers do you enjoy watching? What wrestlers, if any, do you try and emulate?

I'm always asked this question and it's hard because I'm always watching different stuff and in different moods. I love watching Rock N Roll and Tully N' Arn when it comes to tags. It's so great to see how balls out the people love Ricky and Robert. As far as indy guys go, American Dragon and Chris Daniels never have a bad match and are great to watch. I try to emulate some of the older guys in a newer hipper way. I figure if I try and emulate someone who's wrestling now, then why wouldn't they just go and watch that person, instead of watching me.

6. What has been your most memorable moment in the business thus far?

There are so many memorable moments in wrestling. I would have to say it would be when I lost to a Midget infront of 14,000 people in Indianapolis. That was some good times. One of my favorite matches to this point was the 6man tag on Chikara's first ever show. Myself, Hero and Punk v. Montoya, Reckless and Quack kind of just summed up why I love indy and pro wrestling.

7. What are the best and worst things about being in the wrestling industry?

The best thing about wrestling is the rush you get when you're in the ring. It's really hard to find an equivalent. If my life just sucks at the moment and I'm down for whatever reason, I've always got that 10-20 minutes to wrestle and just get away from everything. The worst thing about wrestling are the shotty promoters that just do you wrong. There are so many scummy people in wrestling. I guess it's not the classiest business out there.

8. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I'll spend my spare time at the gym and watching movies. I'm a huge movie and tv fan. I've also picked up sewing and I'm trying to make gear for some of the wrestlers. Besides that I enjoy hanging out with my friends and laughing at funny stuff and/or non-funny stuff.

9. What do you think of the current state of professional wrestling?

Compared to when I first started getting into wrestling, it's way down. I really don't see it going up either with in the next couple years. The state of the independents is both up and down. The "smart" indies seem to be getting a lot better. The wrestlers are getting better and the action is getting more intense. There's another side to independent wrestling though. There were always local wrestling shows back in '98 that would draw like over 1000 people. Now a days that's rare and it hurts everyone's pocket.

10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Being a Pro Wrestler and an overall good guy. I also see a lot of people still buying my merchandise and supporting me at COLTCABANA.COM!!!!!!!!!!!
