Career

Cabana was trained by Ace Steel and Danny Dominion. He broke into Ring of Honor as CM Punk's stablemate in the Second City Saints after turning on Raven. Cabana and Punk would later go on to hold the ROH Tag Titles. With Punk becoming a singles star, Cabana would go on to have feuds with Nigel McGuinness and Austin Aries. On August 13, 2005 Cabana defeated Punk in a two out of three falls match in their hometown of Chicago in what was supposed to be Punk's last ROH match before going to WWE. On November 8, 2005, Colt Cabana lost to Eugene, wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), as a jobber on their program HEAT.

Cabana had a very violent feud with Homicide in Ring of Honor, which featured Cabana being strangled with a metal coat hanger, bleeding from numerous chair shots, having Drāno poured down his throat, being piledriven off the ring apron through a table,and getting his head crushed between a ladder. On April 1, 2006 in Chicago, Colt Cabana finally got his revenge and earned the respect of Homicide after a brutal Chicago street fight which saw the feud settled with a handshake and an embrace.

After his decisive victory against Homicide, Colt Cabana challenged the ROH World champion Bryan Danielson for the ROH title on April 22, 2006 in Philadelphia. Danielson defeated him and retained the title. Cabana had a rematch against Danielson for the title on August 26, 2006 in Chicago. The two fought to a 60-minute time limit draw in a two out of three falls match, each wrestler earning one fall.

In 2004 and 2005, Cabana went on extensive tours of Europe, mainly England. This is where Colt picked up a lot of British based wrestling technique which you can see in his current day wrestling style. Colt wrestled in England, Scotland, Germany and France. He received the 2004 Match of the Year in a European rounds style bout with World Of Sport journeyman, Johnny Kidd. Cabana also did a short tour of Puerto Rico for IWA PR in early 2005.

Cabana has also worked a number of preliminary matches in WWE on its HEAT and Velocity shows. Cabana also wrestled on the April 10, 2006 episode of "RAW", under the name Chris Guy in a squash match against Umaga. Chris Guy is the real name of Ace Steel, who performed for WWE in 2004 under the name Scott Colton, Cabana's real name. In addition, Cabana was a pallbearer for The Undertaker 's Casket Match at WrestleMania 22.

During 2006, Cabana would become a popular wrestler in the British promotion 1 Pro Wrestling often tag teaming with Darren Burridge as Team Shag. During 1PW's first anniversary show Team Shag won the 1PW Tag Team Championship during a three way ladder match against the defending champions Jonny Storm & Jody Fleisch, and the Southern Comfort team of Tracey Smothers & Chris Hamrick.

Cabana recently wrestled on WWE Heat against 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan in a losing effort. Cabana was recently involved in an auto accident with fellow Ring of Honor stars Adam Pearce and Dave Prazak. Cabana was driving from a Ring of Honor event in Dayton, Ohio when he lost control of their car due to the weather conditions. The car was totaled but everyone was wearing seatbelts, which saved their lives. Cabana suffered a bruised toe. Despite the injury, Cabana wrestled the next night in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. Pearce and Prazak also walked away with bruises but were otherwise fine.
