CABANA GETS A DEAL!
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. ![]() |

It's official. All 3 Second City Saints have a WWE contract.

Nice. It will probably be over a year before we see him though.

About fucking time. He checks every box in the WWE "Superstar" selection form and he's been overlooked for too long. Good Luck Colt.

I think he's tried out before for WWE but they cut him.

Is this going to get the same internet hype as guys like Samoa Joe and CM Punk?

You know it.
No matter how well he did on the indies, he will not go anywhere unless he gets huge pops... Wait, Punk got huge pops, didn't he? |

Do you honestly think they're gonna let Colt Cabana act the way he does on the indies.

What is more unlikely, but I hope they do anyway, is put Ace Steel, CM Punk and Colt Cabana together on ECW as the Second City Saints. That could move some merchandise, get over, and provide another power for the Originals vs. New Breed feud (presuming it lasts that long). |

I would not object to Colt Cabana getting a singles push on either RAW or SmackDown!, though. Or they can put the Second City Saints on either the A or B show, rather than the C show.

I can't wait for the 10 million threads about how Cabana is nothing special, and then all the RoH marks whinning and crying that you just don't know, and if you'd seen him in RoH you'd realise he's a god!!!!!!omgZ!1!!!

It'll be WWE's fault for "holding him down," count on it.

Anybody who complains about Punk's push is deluded, quite frankly. He's been given WAY more than I ever imagined at this point. Same with Joe, although tbh I have less faith in what he's got to come than what Punk has in front of him at the moment. |

Cabana will never, ever be WWE champ. He could make a great IC champ though.
Just have him be the frat boy who doesn't give a shit and just wants to have fun. He's charasmatic as hell, and shouldn't have a problem getting over. |

Congrats to Colt. Now it seems cooler that I was at ROH this weekend cus I got to see some of his last ROH matches. The dude is charasmatic, and a big guy so it makes sense that he should have been called up to WWE.

He's getting pushed fine. He continues to be booked well, like participating and doing well in MITB. And being booked very strongly for the duration of the Royal Rumble. He's only lost a few meaningless matches that I can count on my hand, most of which were cheat losses, and one of which was a PPV main event elimination. He continues to get popped, be over and be showcased weekly. And he wins. People need to relax. |

Glad that I get to see Cabana's last ROH match. Should be an okay match, but the emotion will be off the charts. I'm also glad that he signed with WWE. Strange to know that all of the Second City Saints up in the big leagues.

Also, they could try to recreate his Homicide feud in a sense.... Have someone just beat the holy hell out of him and put him out of action, and when he comes back, instead of being the fun happy guy, he just wants to kill the guy. |
