8 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Were Jewish

8. Colt Cabana

One of the more beloved U.S. independent talents of the past fifteen years, Colt Cabana has managed to combine pure comedy with skilled scientific wrestling like few others. Breaking into the business alongside good friend CM Punk, Cabana made a name for himself in Ring of Honor and other small promotions in the early-mid 2000s. Eventually, WWE took notice, and the sports entertainment giant signed Cabana up. He competed on Smackdown as Scotty Goldman, but his matches and interviews (which were peppered with Yiddish phrases) were few and far between. Most agreed that he didn't get a fair shot in WWE, and when he was released in 2009, he jumped right back into independent competition. Today, Cabana is still an active wrestler, but he's also famous for being the brains behind The Art of Wrestling, one of the first wrestler-hosted podcasts. Cabana may not have become a star in WWE, but he's had a successful career on his own terms.
