Adam Cole

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. ”

Without Ring of Honor, I wouldn't be the wrestler I am or have the confidence needed to continue to grow in this ever-challenging sport. ”

I started training when I was a senior in high school. I trained at the Combat Zone Wrestling Academy in South Philadelphia. ”
