Colt Cabana recently did an interview with FastCompany.com, and he spoke about how he started his podcast, his stand-up career, and how his run in WWE motivated him to take control of his own career.

Cabana had the following to say about his WWE run:

“I used comedy as a defense mechanism. I had one of the worst WWE runs ever. The same thing has happened to others, and those wrestlers disappear from the scene.”

“I hit it head on. One of the first things I did was go on a standup comedy tour with [wrestler] Mick Foley, where a lot of my act was making fun of how bad the character Scotty Goldman was, and how awful I was in the WWE.”

Cabana talks about taking control of his career:

“I’m my own everything. Agent, manager, booker, promoter, everything. I rush home from a tour of Japan to sit and fulfill orders. I’ve built this thing all up myself that I just don’t want anyone else messing with,” he said. “It might be the downfall of everything, but when I get something done, I feel productive, and I feel like I’m earning every single dollar I make.”
