What's so great about Adam Cole?
 

I really don't understand.

who?

Nothing at all. Vanilla midget.

Nothing

I went to an indie show where his girlfriend was wrestling. It was in a middle school gym. He was pissing next to me in the short short urinal. Wore a fanny pack and short blue shorts like a hipster fuck.

My son is the one who told me who it was....

I don't know whats so great about him either..his fashion sense is lacking.

You had to have known I wasn't talking about his fashion sense.

C'mon, I know there are some big Adam Cole fans here. Tell me about him.

Didn't even know he was that good of a promo.

sorry it is all that i know about him. :(

Saw him at a ROH show that showcased more entertaining standout performances from O'Reilly/Fish, War Machine/Beer City Bruisers, Lio Rush and Dalton Castle. The crowd was red hot over Cole coming out and doing the Babay thing. Other than that I forgot what he did that night

Nothing. He's the worst guy in his own stable even.

No idea why HHH has always had a hard on for him and has been chasing him for years. He's good enough in lots of areas, but doesn't excel in any of them.

I've never really examined his work, but I've seen nothing that hooks me from a surface-level. He looks like he should be the whinging lead singer in a really shitty band. People apparently like his heel character, the playboy one. Something about it doesn't connect with me though -- like he's just some indy dude trying to be a playboy.

Kyle O'Reilly is worse though. The dude is like someone with no charisma trying to do a Daniel Bryan impersonation.

Oh lord, second that.

His confidence mainly I'd say. He's benefited from hanging around guys like Kevin Owens and Matt Hardy while in ROH and I wouldn't be shocked if KO helped get him signed. Also piggybacked of the Young Bucks prior to leaving. I did enjoy the Kingdom with him Bennett and Taven. Only 3 time ROH Champion as well but that last reign was probably a last attempt to get him to stay.

Story time with Adam Cole Bay Bay is probably a big reason why live crowds like him as he's interactive. Not real flasy in the ring but he's not a bad wrestler at all. Agree he's not the biggest guy and don't think he's main event caliber on the main roster but should really fit in there in NXT.

Agree, never been a fan of his. I don't mind him and Fish teaming but I just don't buy him when he cuts a promo. Like he's trying to hard and doesn't come of natural in my opinion. Plus I hate his look.

He reminds me of a shrunken Shawn Michaels. He's got a very odd body... Why can't he just hit the fucking gym and gain some weight, this is rasslin goddamnit!

That might be it he's just like HHH

Actually, I can kind of see the Adam Cole/HHH comparison. A lot of "forced charisma" there. Of course, forced charisma is a bit of a paradox.

Q: What's so great about Adam Cole?

A::|

I don't follow, that's actually something great about him. No one else has held it more than twice.

Title reigns aren't really a good indicator of how good someone is. Especially when they happened on the indies.

Yeah, it just means he's been booked to win it three times. Which you could argue means he's bee trusted to be given that accolade, but you could also argue that it just means there was no one better around and he wasn't good enough to stand out before then, whereas everyone else got plucked.

I mean, look at the title reigns of Jeff Jarrett or Triple H. Clearly not a reflection of their skill level -- just the position they were put in.

Hah, I know it's not the guy, but this dude is also named Adam Cole and this is totally what that wrestler is gonna look like if he discovers drugs.

I still don’t know the difference between Adam Cole and Adam Page.

I disagree as you have to be good to hold a title, especially a world title. To be the only 3 time ROH Champion, ROH obviously seen something in him and he's only 28. Now I could understand if he had 1 reign and it wasn't all that great but that's not the case. That was only part of my post and I mentioned plenty of other things about him. He's not really great at anything just good but has benefited from backstage politics in my opinion. He always seems to be with a group as well which hasn't really shown what he can do on his own a whole lot.

David Arquette

I don't care what ROH sees in him. I don't see it myself. No one else has made a great case here either. Especially you, Fan.

I've said he's not great, he's just good and that has carried him this far. He also seems to be quite political backstage and benefits from it. What does David Arquette have to do with anything though?

You don't have to be good to be a world champion. David Arquette.

Kind of a weird example as I said I'd understand that thinking if it was just one title reign that sucked but the guy has the most in company history.

I'd take Arquette as a world champ over Jarrett any day.

Something really annoying about that dude.

I would personally prefer Patricia Arquette as my champ pver both of those fucks.

Does this make more sense for you now?

And. I. Don't. Understand. Why.

I understand that at least ROH thinks he's good, but I personally don't see it. I'm looking for people who are a fan of his work to tell me what it is that they personally like about him that I'm just not seeing. I don't need his fucking indy accolades.

I think she's underrated in the ring, for real.

As I've said most of that is probably him hanging with the right people backstage and benefiting from it. He understands fan interaction and has his basic catchphrases. He's good ot great and on the Indy scene that all he really needed to be. I think he'll be fine in NXT but have no clue how he will do on the main roster.

I'd like a bigger Adam Cole fan to talk to me about this. Simple Fan, go play with some blocks or something.

Not sure what exactly your asking for man. I've told you everything I can think of. There just isn't alot there and I've probably seen more of him than anyone else on the site, watch ROH every week. He's always been in a group and just not alot to go off of him just doing him. That's why I believe he's benefited from alot of backstage politics. Youtube him I guess.

There's gotta be a juice box around here somewhere...

I feel like I've seen people talking about how much they like Adam Cole around here before. Am I hallucinating?
