Carlos Cabrera (born October 18, 1968) is a former newsman and currently one half of the WWE Spanish announcing team in which he is the play-by-play announcer. His partner is the former Ecuadorian professional wrestler Hugo Savinovich.
Cabrera was born in Bogotá, Colombia. During his career as a newsman and radio personality, Cabrera has obtained many coveted awards, including the ACE Awards both in Radio and TV categories. Cabrera has one of the most recognizable voices in both Spanish radio and TV in the United States and is constantly used as a voiceover announcer for many important corporations and brand names that wish to advertise their products nationally.
Cabrera has worked for WWE since 1993 and, alongside Hugo Savinovich, has been the Spanish announcer on Spanish language versions of RAW, SmackDown!, and pay-per-view events. For the international versions, Cabrera and Savinovich are accompanied by announcer Marcelo Rodriguez. Cabrera and Savinovich have a show on WWE.com called WWE En Español (WWE in Spanish), a thirty-minute program that serves as a recap of RAW, SmackDown!, and pay-per-view events. The duo taped their one-hundreth episode in April 2006. Recently, WWE launched a Spanish language mini-show starring Cabrera and Savinovich called 28 Segundos.
In recent years, while working for WWE on its monthly pay-per-views, the announce table at which he works with Savinovich, more commonly known as the Spanish announcers' table, has become a staple in modern professional wrestling as a convenient device on which for wrestlers to execute dramatic moves, such as the piledriver or the Pedigree, which almost always results in the destruction of the table, as it is designed to collapse on impact.
Cabrera and Savinovich provide live commentary for pay-per-view events at ringside, however they perform their live RAW and SmackDown! commentary from the WWE Television Studios in Stamford, Connecticut.
