Colt Cabana worked as Scotty Goldman during his brief stint in WWE.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, the AEW/ROH wrestler revealed that he pitched a storyline in 2008 where he would have played Dude Love. The idea was that he would have played Dude Love while Kizarny would play the role of Cactus Jack as they faced off against Edge and the Edgeheads.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his pitch to play Dude Love: “Oh, my biggest [push], my one that I thought would be the most successful was, Edge and Foley had just returned, so I knew like Foley didn’t want a full-time program, and so I had pitched that six-man series of like Edge and the Edgeheads, which is Hawkins and Ryder, versus me and this was before Kizarny went up. It would be the three Faces of Foley, Mick as Mick, me as Dude Love, and then Kizarny as Cactus Jack. My whole pitch was like we’ll wrestle the whole matches. They don’t have to do anything on house shows. We’ll do all the work. They just come in for the hot tag and that way, we still present them as the huge stars, but we’re their crutches.”
On not ultimately pitching the angle: “I was always sad that I never got to pitch that to Mick. Hawkins and Ryder, they pitched it to Edge before they pitched it to the office, and Edge liked it. So he went to the office and fought for it. Listen, the developmental wrestlers, we pitched everything everywhere, every time, there were so many pitches. “I would say 99% [of them are] not even listened to. So if that had just gotten in Mick’s ear, and I knew Mick, Mick was a friend of mine, I just hadn’t put it in his ear yet, and I think maybe if I had gotten that in his ear, he would have thought about it, but it just went dead and never happened.”
