AEW Star and pro wrestling veteran Colt Cabana recently appeared on the Into The Danger Zone podcast, where he talked about his role in The Dark Order and the original plans for him and the faction prior to the unfortunate passing of Brodie Lee.
This is what Colt Cabana said:
“It’s hard. At first, I stood back a little bit, because I guess I was the only successful Brodie inductee, no I am going to say that wrong. Dark Order was Stu and Uno and then they started getting people.” “But they didn’t get anyone for a while until I kind of came in. And I wasn’t even supposed to be.”
“It was supposed to lead to me and Brodie having a match, and it was what it was. So, some people will be like, ‘I don’t get Colt in The Dark Order.’ I have so much pride like I got stuck inside of this bubble.” “We lost Brodie and I am there now. I feel like I was in a vortex and it’s just wild. It means so much to me that I’m in the vortex and I am part of the team.”
Colt Cabana also talked about how he wanted The Dark Order to do their own thing with Being The Elite and to just kind of step back at first, which is why it was hard for him to come in as he didn’t want to take over anything, but now that it has been one year, he feels more comfortable to be part of The Dark Order.
This is what Colt Cabana said:
“They were doing their own thing with Being The Elite and all of this. So, it’s hard for me to come in.” “I didn’t want to overtake anything. I know I could be abrasive, or brash, or over charismatic if need be, like a lot of wrestlers. We see that red light and we want to go, go, go, right?”
“I tried to know my place in there.” “Now it has been a year and some change and I feel so comfortable in there. It’s all jokes, we are all joking around. Even like, I feel like a girl like Anna could have got lost in the women’s shuffle so much, it’s so nice that she’s such a great part of our group and we get to see her personality.”
Colt Cabana then talked about how as the veterans of Dark Order are finishing up their careers, stars such as Alan Angels and Preston Vance can gain enough confidence from them and turn out to be the top stars in the company.
This is what Colt Cabana said:
“I think that’s part of the fun thing too. Like when me and Stu, and Uno are kind of finishing off our careers, we hope that Five and Ten will be at a point where they will be big stars. And hopefully, us as some of the veterans of The Dark Order will have given them enough confidence and advice and allowed themselves to be themselves enough and they feel comfortable in it that they’ll be able to become huge stars in AEW.”
