The first “FTR with Dax Harwood” podcast is up now on AdFreeShows.com and it covers CM Punk and a lot of the misconceptions about him.
Dax was asked about his relationships (or lack thereof) with Colt Cabana. Dax said Colt Cabana made fun of his accent on their first meeting:
“I don’t know Colt very well. The very first day we were in the company, I could be wrong, I just felt that Colt didn’t like us. You know, there were some people there that didn’t like us like I said. I remember that he made fun of my accent the very first day and I wasn’t very happy with that because I take I take offense to that, and maybe I shouldn’t, but if people knew my backstory and how hard I worked to get the education that I got, you know, real quick, I’ll fill you in. I’ll do a very short version of it.”
Dax continued, “When I was in college, my mom and dad both lost their jobs within a month of each other. I had nobody to help me with rent or books or food or anything. So I had to work three jobs plus wrestling on the weekends just so I could pay for my college and I paid for my own college. I got a degree at UNC Bellevue and a bachelor’s in English and a bachelor’s in business communication and it was all through my efforts. If the people saw the sleepless nights that I had, the nights that I because I was worried that I wasn’t going to get this, or the nights I had negative dollars in my bank account because I was paying for books or putting things on credit cards and stuff like that, I think maybe they could understand it then. But for him to make fun of my accent, because the connotation is if you’re a Southerner, you’re stupid, that bothers me man, and maybe I shouldn’t let it bother me. So that was the very first run in I ever had with Colt, but other than that, I’ve never really had a conversation with him, never talked to him, nothing like that.”
