Colt Cabana

So it's no secret I love professional wrestling.

I've been watching it since 1989.

I love the athleticism, the characters, both over the top and the ones I can relate to.

The story lines are pretty cheesy and bad a lot of the time, and the celebrity cross overs can be horrendous (Jon Heder) but sometimes cool (Bob Barker).

But as much as we're exposed to WWE and to a lesser extent TNA, a lot of people who aren't hardcore fans, overlook or are completely unaware of the Independent promotions and the wrestlers in them. I recommend Ring of Honor especially. Youtube any match from any of their shows.

Anyway, one wrestler whom has stood out to me is Colt Cabana.

He had a short run in the WWE is Scotty Goldman, which he openly mocks. Unfortunately, this talented guy didn't get the run he deserved and is back to himself, and currently the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Deservedly so I must say.

I've read a lot about him over the years through the Magazines and Websites, and have checked out matches on youtube, and also on the old ROH shows they show on the Fight Network here in Canada.

But also with being a wrestler, this guy is an entertainer. He also does comedy as well. Very fuckin' funny dud.

In addition to the wrestling and comedy, he also does a weekly podcast called The Art Of Wrestling.
He has talks to a different person in the wrestling industry each week and they just basically shoot the shit about all kinds of different things. Some of his guests include CM Punk, Generation Me, The Iron Sheik and Sara Del Rey.
You don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy these, you can just enjoy life stories from people. Talking about experiences on the road, what international travel has been like for them, obstacles they've faced. It's really worth checking out.

He has a couple of websites you can check out. www.welovecolt.com and also www.coltmerch.com.

If you check out the podcast he'll mention it himself, but I will as well, the podcast is free and if you want to support him, head over to coltmerch.com, make a purchase or so or if you don't have the money to spend, tell a friend about it. BTW, my shirt is on the way.

If you head over there, you'll see the DVD entitled Wrestling Road Diaries. It's a documentary of life on the road with himself, Sal Rinauro and Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan of WWE Fame.
I plan on getting a copy very soon.



Anyways, I don't like endorsing people a whole lot, and I usually use this blog to show things I think are funny or random, but this guy is just a straight up awesome guy, who is doing what he loves despite not making a killing while doing it.

Follow him on twitter @ColtCabana and while on there you could follow me as well @bradfordml ;)

Until next time, keep it rockin'
