Adam Pearce has shared the ring with several notable names over the years, but his battles with Colt Cabana extend far beyond the squared circle.
Pearce and Cabana faced off several times in the ring, including in March 2011 when Colt dethroned the RAW General Manager as NWA World Champion.
On a recent edition of the “Chaotic Good Sports” podcast, Pearce discussed the chemistry the two shared that was established before their first match. He said,
“We had an advantage too. He went to Deerfield High School, which is about, I don’t know, twenty minutes from where I grew up. And we actually played each other, played against each other in football every year in high school. So he started training at the Steel Domain that Ace Steel opened in 97. So ‘Hey, here’s this kid. I know of him from Deerfield High.’ So we were wrestling each other when he first started.
“He was on his very first road trip, so I was a part of that. So we had like a natural chemistry and comradery before we even locked up to have these matches. And then ten, fifteen years down the line, we’re doing something, I was…it was like old hat, you know what I mean? And he was one that I had a natural chemistry with. We didn’t have to plan a whole lot.”
These days, Pearce can be found holding down the law as RAW General Manager and also works in WWE as a producer.
Cabana is also a producer, albeit for AEW, and continues to make sporadic appearances in the ring for AEW and Ring of Honor.
