Adam Cole was a recent guest on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including his time working in WWE NXT and learning from Shawn Michaels.
As seen below, the AEW wrestler has nothing but praise for his time on the black and gold brand.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his relationship with Shawn Michaels: “I know I’ve said this so much, but just in case, if someone doesn’t know, Shawn Michaels is my favorite pro wrestler of all time. One of the things I cherished most about my time at NXT was not only having him as a mentor and someone that I learned from, but forming a relationship with him was so surreal to me. He taught me so much. … My ability to listen to the live audience and adjust accordingly changed so much working under Shawn Michaels.”
On his time in NXT: “I loved it there. I had such a wonderful, wonderful experience. I learned so much. I got to explore more of who Adam Cole was. I feel like I grew a ton as a performer. … The love and respect I still have for all of them is absolutely through the roof.”
