Independent wrestling star Colt Cabana told Justin Kendall of Pitch.com that he hasn't had much luck with WWE since he worked a recent dark match. "They won’t return my calls or anything," Cabana said. "It’s pretty weird, man. I don’t get it. Nobody was really receptive. It’s just like they wanted to ignore it. I think it’s because Punk is such a rebel that ... they were able re-sign Punk, but I think to kind of stick it to him, they don’t want to talk to his friend.

Cabana was asked whether he got that feeling when he worked his tryout match. "Nah," he responded. "It didn’t seem like. All of the wrestlers and all of the personalities and all of the personnel, they love me. They get it. I think there’s just a group of people who don’t get me or don’t want to get me. Unfortunately, that keeps me away from an opportunity, but at the same time, I think the answer was so obvious to put me on TV and capitalize on it.

"At the same time, I think it’s really nice that my fans are really gathering around me and supporting me and continuing me in wrestling without WWE. A lot of people say that you can only be successful if you’re in WWE, and I’m a great case and point where when it’s all said and done, to be a great wrestler doesn’t mean that you have to be a WWE Champion or WWE superstar."

Powell's POV: I've never understood why Cabana didn't click with WWE. Vince McMahon loves comedy, and Cabana's antics get great reactions from live crowds. It seems like a great fit, and I really thought Cabana would get back in once the current C.M. Punk character took off. Cabana also spoke about working for the Wrestling Revolution Project, the best year of his career, the WWE Hall of Famer he wants to be the modern day version of, and more. A recommended read.

The story also states that Cabana will be working the Metro Pro Wrestling show on Saturday night in Kansas City, Kansas at the Turner Rec Center. I've heard good things about the indy group, so get out there and check it out if you live in the area.
