During filming of a ringside segment featuring announcers Dusty Rhodes and Josh Matthews at Thursday’s Florida Championship Wrestling television taping, the crowd erupted with loud “Colt Cabana” chant in honor of recently released WWE wrestler Scotty Goldman, who frequently appeared at the developmental promotion’s shows. Apparently, the chants got under the skin of Rhodes as following filming of the segment, he asked the fans what they were saying. They replied “Colt Cabana,” to which he quickly snarled back “he’s gone.” The WWE Hall of Famer also made a thumb hit-the-road gesture.
