Why should I care about Colt Cabana
 
I think it is safe to say that he is an "internet darling", but I really have not seen anything of his that makes me think "Wow, this guy is the goods".

In all honesty, my knowledge of him is limited, but there has yet to be anything I have heard about him that has made me want to find out more about him.

So what is so great about him? Educate me here - I have an open mind on this. Evidence by way of promos/matches/etc are encouraged but not mandatory. Come for the thread, stay for the Randy Savage gif.

The fact he's such an indy darling probably worked against him in WWE, he's perfect for them. He'll never be WWE champion but he can fill plenty of roles. Be very surprised if he never gets another chance there.

Yeah, Jewish Santino is a pretty accurate description, except he's a way better wrestler. Mat wrestling wise, he ranks up there with Danielson and McGuiness. He is fairly athletic though despite his look, and he can do a damn good looking lionsault.

Some of his stuff would work in WWE, some won't. Some of his stuff relies on the crowd hearing him, which just won't work in a big venue. Some other things, if left untouched, could get over well (like the flying asshole.)

Basically, you got a guy who can do comedy stuff, wrestle well, has moves the crowd can get behind, can work a mic, and can make other guys look good.

He's never going to be a world champion in WWE, but I'd say he has a place in the company.

So is this some dadist deconstruction of pro wrestling and humour, or do people find improv too shitty for local talent night to be entertaining?

you ask that like there is some kind of high brow variety of pro wrestling

By comparison, yes there is.
