Colt Cabana Comments On Court Victory Over Dr. Chris Amann

As noted, a jury ruled for Colt Cabana and CM Punk in their civil suit against WWE Senior Ringside Physician Chris Amann. Amann was seeking nearly $4 million in damages, plus punitive damages, for comments that Punk made on Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast in November 2014.

Cabana spoke with Nick Hausman of Wrestlezone. Colt commented on today’s results, saying:

I feel amazing. It justifies everything that I fought for for so long. I had questions from day one [about] why was I in this thing, and I think afterwards, talking to a lot of the jury, they had the same questions. It’s a big relief; it’s a lot off of my chest and shoulders.

Is there any point he thought this could go in Dr Amann’s favor?

No. No. It was nerve-wracking during the week, and my body shut down a bit just knowing that it was all there and happening, but otherwise I was very confident in myself and my lawyer. The jury was—I’ve always considered myself a dude who loves wrestling that just happens to be a dude—I think that when it’s all based on a jury, or just the people representing the people, I didn’t see how they wouldn’t see our side of the story. [It’s] someone like [CM] Punk who is just a punk kid, and someone like myself who is a guy who loves wrestling going against this doctor that was coming at us.
