Indy wrestling star and former WWE Superstar Colt Cabana recently spoke to The Baltimore Sun about his time in WWE:

"Well, it didn't work out because management said creative didn't have anything for me. Then I went out and did a web series mocking the answer that they gave me. It was maybe with the big corporate structure that I got lost underneath the pile of people (laughs), that doesn't sound good, piles of people. But I spent two years under contract with WWE. After about a year and three months I was brought up to the main roster [in 2009]. When I was brought up, I wasn't brought up in a predominant role at all. I was kind of brought up as a guy really to lose matches. Which was weird because they don't have contracted enhancement wrestlers, for the most part every contracted wrestler they have is “a superstar.” Of course, that's an interesting fact when some of the guys like myself and Gavin Spears and Ryan Braddock are just kind of brought up to lose. But that was a different time back then and now I think they've seen the errors of their ways from that generation. A lot of us took a bullet but I'm glad that because of the way they handled developmental at that time that they have a good grasp on it now. You can see the great things their doing with some of the guys and the way they bring people up with the NXT talent. So maybe we were part of an experimental process in developmental. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be one of the guys on NXT or whatnot, but luckily enough for me, because of my past, people are able to succeed in that system."
