WWE's Loss was the Indies Gain!





































Yes i'm talking about Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana. Now if you remember a time back in 2009 on Smackdown you might have seen the guy in the picture. He is Colt Cabana but on television we knew him as Scotty Goldman? What i hear you cry, why have the WWE gave such a charismatic wrestler (if i can say that when it relates to the WWE) such a poor name and not let him be himself. Well it brings me on to my next point he wasn't really used much by the WWE.
Goldman/Cabana had a few matches under his belt when on Smackdown but that was it a few matches if you don't believe me check youtube out or even his wikipedia. It explains Cabana wasn't being used in the correct way, right?

Yes of course i am right look at the picture. When Cabana returned to the independent scene his sure as hell must have got more bookings due to him being featured on television. The big problem the WWE had though was after those few defeats he just came to having his own show on WWE.com before he saw the good luck in your future endeavours card. Colt then returned to Ring Of Honor and many other indies. He has gone on to compete twice in the Chikara King of Trio's.

But the biggest thing he did since leaving the WWE was win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Now the NWA World Championship has changed a lot since the days of Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and others but it still has that prestige about it. So Colt being the NWA World Champion added new prestige as he defeated long reigning "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce. Colt then lost the title to The Sheik but surly will look to regain the title that was once his. Will we ever see Colt back on the main stage? Maybe. Will Colt look to join TNA? Maybe. Has he got a future in Ring Of Honor as long as they are alive? Sure sounds like it.

I hope some day down the line Vince McMahon or whoever will be in charge of running the WWE ship can bring back Colt Cabana and will actually look for the real talent in professional wrestling instead of going for their mould of specifics and looks to be classed as a WWE wrestler.
