Adam Cole recently appeared on E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness (via Wrestling Inc). Here are the highlights.
People Not Believing He’s Wrestler:
“Because of me and my size I often get asked if I work in the office.” Cole admitted, “I’ll get asked that. Uh huh. Oh my God, every time… it’s unbelievable! Right. The people who are the worst are the TSA agents, so when I traveled with the NXT North American Championship, that often times is when I would get the… they would take the championship out, and look at it, and say, ‘what’s this?’ I’d say, ‘oh, it’s a championship belt.’ And they’d say, ‘for what?’ And I’d say, ‘for wrestling.’ And they would look at the belt, look at me, look back at the belt with just the most interesting look on their faces. Like, ‘guy, I’m right here! I’m right here, man.’ There is nothing that makes me more falsely arrogant, like, wanting to defend myself, than a TSA agent. Like, automatically, I’m like, ‘I may be small, but I’m really good. Like, that championship says it right there.’”
His NXT Run:
“At this point, now, I’ve been with NXT a little bit over a year, so I’m really starting to adjust to everything, and, at the same time, appreciating the process even more, so stuff is going great.” Cole continued, “stuff is going really, really well. I’m happy with everything that I’ve got going on right now. It’s a fun time. The coolest thing for me is to see… I’ve only been with NXT for a little over a year, but to see the progression within the brand, even since I’ve been here, whether that be attendance at live events or even the general energy from the audience, it has been drastically improved, so that has been really, really sweet to see.”
