Colt Cabana Not A Fan Of WWE Name

Colt Cabana has wrestled for pretty much promotion across the world, and changed what it means to be an independent wrestler. He’s won all sorts of titles including the British Heavyweight Championship, ICW’s tag team titles, Juggalo Championship Wrestling’s Heavyweight belt, Ring of Honor’s tag belts [- oof, less said about that one, eh? – and even the NWA World’s title. He wrested for ROH, NOAH, Impact, Rev Pro, Wrestling Society X, PWG and many, many others. But it’s easy to forget that Cabana also had a small stint in WWE.

Cabana spent more of his tenure in their old developmental system OVW, but appeared a few times on Smackdown, losing all of his matches. Smackdown’s treatment of developmental call-ups isn’t a new trend, I see. However what’s most notable about Cabana’s WWE run was that he didn’t use that name – as this was during a time when WWE creative thought Michael McGillicutty, Skip Sheffield, Lucky Cannon, Husky Harris, Derrick Bateman and Eli Cottonwood were good wrestler names. As such, Cabana debuted on Smackdown as Scotty Goldman! Because he’s Jewish, you see.

And Cabana has now taken a shot at this rather silly name on the 10 year anniversary of his Smackdown debut tweeting, “Apparently Jewy “The Jew” Jewerstein was trademarked.”
