9 Questions With Colt Cabana

9. The Documentary

First of all, tell us about Wrestling Road Diaries Three.

“It’s the third in my series. It’s called Funny Equals Money: Wrestling Road Diaries Three. The theme of all of these documentaries is the independent wrestling scene and what it is.

“Independent wrestling has now become kind of a buzz [term], with the idea that NXT has stolen the idea of independent wrestling and marketed it on a world stage. But, for years, no one really knew what independent wrestling was. So, in 2009 when Daniel Bryan and I put out [The Wrestling Road Diaries], that documentary was, in my mind, the first inside look at what the world of independent wrestling was.

“This third one, the theme is independent wrestling, but we then break it down into other themes, and the main one here is comedy in wrestling.

“In independent wrestling, we’re our own bosses and nobody’s telling us what we can and cannot do, and some of us love the idea of doing comedy in our wrestling style. I brought over two of the funniest people I know — Kikutaro and Grado, who also travel the world as independent wrestlers — and we dissected comedy in wrestling, which I think is something that’s never been looked into as in-depth as it is in Wrestling Road Diaries Three.”
