Former ROH World Champion Adam Cole recently spoke with ESPN about various topics. Here are the highlights.
On possibly signing with WWE:
“I would want to [start in NXT] because, first of all, I’m a fan of NXT,” Cole said. “I think the brand is cool. I think the Takeover shows are awesome. I think the fans are great. I love the roster of guys. I think it’s something that’s going to be looked at as a very special time in pro wrestling, so I want to be a part of it. Secondly, of course in a perfect world if I went to NXT, I wouldn’t want to be there forever; but I like the idea of going there and performing there and getting accustomed to the WWE audience and them getting accustomed to me and then eventually making the move to Raw or Smackdown. I think it’d be a lot of fun, and I think I would really enjoy working in front of that audience.”
On the current state of pro wrestling:
“It’s the crazy state of pro wrestling in 2017,” Cole said. “Guys who you never thought were gonna leave WWE are leaving. Guys who you never thought were gonna go to WWE are going. It’s the closest thing to the Attitude Era that we’ve had as far as not knowing where guys are gonna show up and who’s gonna end up where. And in turn, it’s created this really cool environment for the fans and for the wrestlers.”
