Wrestler of the Day - 10/8: Adam Cole!

Playing catch up today. Grrr....

Today’s Wrestler of the Day is none other than Adam Cole BAY BAY! Yes, I had to do that.

In just seven years (and yes, that’s a short amount of time in my opinion), Adam Cole has become one of the top performers on the American independent circuit and without a doubt one of the best wrestlers on the planet today. Cole’s time in Ring of Honor has definitely put him on the map, from teaming with Kyle O’Reilly as Future Shock to winning his first world title, the ROH World Championship that is. Cole is also a former PWG World Champion, and the longest reigning champion in the title’s history. Some of his greatest work comes in the form of great matches with the likes of A.J. Styles, Jay Briscoe, Shinsuke Nakamura and even his former tag team partner Kyle O’Reilly to name a few. Now a member of The Kingdom alongside, Maria Kanellis, Michael Bennett and Matt Taven, he has one goal in mind: to recapture the ROH World Championship. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind seeing him become the third two-time ROH World Champion. As I always say, only time will tell…

Here's an Adam Cole throwback for ya, from his tenure in CZW, where he faces off against Johnny Gargano and Kyle O'Reilly!

Adam Cole has no idea where he's at in Ring of Honor after last week's actions. He says there is no dissension between him and The Kingdom (Maria Kanellis, Matt Taven, Michael Bennett). Him and Kyle O'Reilly have a long-standing respect between themselves, and he plans to keep that respect intact tonight.

Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole comes to an end when "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels attacks Cole in retaliation for Cole attacking him. Both O'Reilly and Cole fight off both Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, who rushes in to even the odds. The Addiction (Daniels and Kazarian) flee, then Cole tells them that both The Kingdom (Cole, Maria Kanellis, Matt Taven, Michael Bennett) and reDRagon (O'Reilly and Bobby Fish) are sick of their crap, and challenge them to a tag team match where Future Shock (Cole and O'Reilly) reunite for one night only. The Addition accept the challenge.

Future Shock (Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly) beat The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian).
