Adam Cole

I am stoked to go over to Japan and experience that culture.

Wrestling has gotten crazy lately in that guys can really make comfortable, good livings outside of WWE.

I think Ring of Honor is becoming a legitimate threat in the world of pro wrestling. To say that Ring of Honor would be WWE is getting a little bit ahead of yourself. At the same time, I think Ring of Honor can definitely be a place where guys can make a living.

My grandmother played a huge influence in my life and helped raise me, and she and my mother saw how much I loved pro wrestling and how much I wanted to go after it.

My parents split up when I was nine years old, and I started taking karate lessons at that point. I was very dedicated to my karate, and I looked up to my karate instructor kind of like a second father.

The only thing cooler than having a dream and accomplishing that dream is getting to do it with your buddies.

I'm going to be with Ring of Honor for a while. So I'm focused on making ROH the best company it can be.

When I was first started, when I was eighteen, I wrestled for a company that had a very hardcore fanbase and demanded a lot from its wrestlers. So, every single match, I would do every move possible. I would land on the concrete floor; I would land really high on my head just to try to impress the fans.

Of course the people in the Bullet Club will have similarities and always will, but finding what I can do as Adam Cole to be different is important.

Wrestling is not only my job, it's my life, so when I wasn't able to wrestle, I didn't know what to do with myself.

When you're an independent wrestler, committing a lot of time and effort into honing your craft as much as possible in as many different places as possible will catch the WWE's interest as far as the independent level goes.

Ring of Honor has always been a company that focuses on youths and being a true alternative.
