CABANA GETS A DEAL!

**Innovator** · 04-03-2007, 04:00 PM

Ring of Honor regular "Classic" Colt Cabana has signed a WWE developmental deal and is expected to be assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling. Cabana was backstage at Wrestlemania 23 over the weekend and has done some enhancement work for WWE in the past.

Cabana, who's worked regularly for ROH since 2002, is best known as one third of the Second City Saints in ROH alongside current ECW star CM Punk and WWE developmental talent Ace Steel (who trained Punk and Cabana both).

Cabana and Punk held the ROH Tag Team championships in the past and did a great "Odd Couple" type of deal where the straightedge and serious Punk played off the more comedic Cabana.

While in ROH, Cabana feuded with a number of stars including Raven, Homicide, The Briscoe Brothers, Nigel McGuiness, and Jimmy Jacobs. While in ROH, some of his highlight bouts were against Punk, Samoa Joe, James Gibson (aka Smackdown's Jamie Noble) and Bryan Danielson.

Cabana has been touring Europe regularly in recent years and also worked for MTV Wrestling Society X under the masked persona of "Matt Classic". It would appear his WWE signing may be an indication that MTV has started to release wrestlers contractually bound to the project. PWInsider.com is working on confirming that as of this writing.

Ring of Honor announced that Cabana's last date with the company will be 4/28 in his homestate of Illinois at their return to the Windy Cityt Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge. Cabana commented on his signing on the official www.ROHWrestling.com website, stating, ""For the past four and a half years the only consistent thing in my life has been ROH. ROH has been my home and family. The Chicago show on April 28th is not going to be a farewell, but a celebration. We are going to celebrate how great ROH is and will continue to be. It's not going to be a good bye, its going to be a "Seeya later". Thanks for all the good time, and great memories!"
The 4/28 event will be titled "Good Times, Great Memories" in honor of backstage vignettes in the guise of a talk show that Cabana regularly did on ROH DVD releases.
