Former WWE worker Colt Cabana was interviewed on Rob McNichol's One Sided Ring Podcast where he discussed his run in WWE. For those that do not remember, Cabana worked as Scotty Goldman in WWE. Below are the highlights:
"When I got called up the writers all wanted me to be Colt Cabana but John Laurinaitis came up to me the day I was supposed due to debut, with all my Colt gear, he was like 'you can't be Colt Cabana because we want to own it'.
"They were going to call me Scott Colton, which is my real name, but Vince McMahon knew my heritage was of the Jewish sort, so they just changed it from 'Colton' to 'Goldman'.
"That was the creative process that went into my name.
"It was almost like there were two different types of people in WWE. There was the people who knew who I was, and the people who had no clue who I was.
"The people who knew who I was were the ones that liked me doing commentary, were the ones who fought to get me my own Internet show.
"I was never able to develop as a wrestler or a person.
"It was upsetting and ignorant."
Desire to be featured on WWE NXT:
"Timing is everything. I think that show was made for me.
