Colt Cabana's influence in wrestling runs deeper than many fans may realize as he helped pave the way for the podcasts and independent brands you see today.
Speaking on What Do You Want To Talk About, Kevin Owens explained that he is the reason why Pro Wrestling Tees exist.
Owens said that Colt kept telling him that he needed to get merchandise, but Owens couldn't afford it. Colt had a conversation with Ryan of One Hour Tees, leading to the formation of Pro Wrestling Tees. "They came up with this concept because they were trying to help me," said Owens.
Cabana reacted to the story on social media.
For 20+ years I OBSESSED about how to be a full time pro wrestler without being in “the machine”.

I wanted all my friends to have the same ability.
Kevin’s story is phenomenal.
I try my best backstage w @AEW implementing where I can.
Those 20+ yrs were tough but so rewarding. https://t.co/Ya7q3K5Iuj
Owens, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) and Colt were the first featured wrestlers on Pro Wrestling Tees.
Cabana is currently signed to AEW.
