Colt Cabana - Wrestling Road Diaries

Wrestling Road Diaries

In 2011, Roundtable Creations released The Wrestling Road Diaries, a wrestling documentary that features Cabana, Bryan Danielson, and Sal Rinauro. The film was shot over a period of 10 days in September 2009, and follows the wrestlers as they travel from show to show. It also shows them performing for various wrestling companies and training aspiring wrestlers. (Wrestling Road Diaries. Dir. Eric Santamaria. Perf. Colt Cabana, Bryan Danielson, Sal Rinauro. DVD. Roundtable Creations, 2011.) In the film's first few minutes, Cabana offered a brief assessment of his time with WWE and what it felt like to be back on the independent circuit:

"I went to WWE, and now I'm back but this is what I know well, and it's very familiar, so in that aspect, being back on the indies is okay, and it's fun, and it's familiar, so it's what I know best. Even though there's world-class wrestlers up there, I wasn't having world class matches. When I was in developmental, of course, a lot of my matches were against guys who had been playing football and didn't even know how to wrestle. And then when I was in WWE, my game wasn't rising. By going back to the independents, it's almost as if I'm allowed to use what I've learned in the WWE. I'm allowed to use that now in a wrestling ring I really wasn't given an opportunity to."

In February 2012 Colton announced on The Art of Wrestling, that there will be a The Wrestling Road Diaries 2, featuring himself alongside Cliff Compton and Luke Gallows

Famous quotes containing the words wrestling, road and/or diaries:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
    Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
    With such small adjustments life will again move forward
    Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
    “It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
    Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
    Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
