Former Ring of Honor champion Adam Cole has signed with WWE for the NXT brand, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Cole is slated to begin at the WWE Performance Center this week.
About time. How long was everybody saying this was gonna happen for?
Oh great, another vanilla midget with nothing exceptional about him but one of Jericho's old catchphrases.
>>3001792
who?
>>3001831
The guy that says "baybay" who isn't heath slater.
>>3001816
This. Smarks are so fucking clueless. They'll actually claim this is the next big thing
>>3001792
Just in time to do a Ric Flair fan gimmick
>>3001792
Fuck him, I hope he fucking dies in the ring. He's a traitor, like Shinsuke, AJ, Gallows and Anderson, he can eat a fucking dick. He could've been making history and helping NJPW expand into the USA. Instead, he's going to be stuck in an exclusive contract like a beta cuckold and job to fucking Drew Mcintyre on NXT and perform for a company, freefalling straight into a decline. When NJPW rules wrestling and he's inevitably released as part of yet another WWE cost-cutting measure, faggots like him who turned their backs on us, Nakamura and Styles, they'll be the first ones against the wall. I'm GLAD Gallows & Anderson aren't even featured on TV anymore, how do you see the treatment of them and decide "Yes, I want to go to the WWE they will treat me right!". Fucking morons, all of them.
>>3001915
Bruh get back to your hot pockets. They're gonna get cold if you keep typing.
>>3001921
Whether you like it or not, Roman Reigns is a character, and I dislike him as much as I dislike bitchtits Cole here.
>>3001915
You what? Not only Gallows and Anderson are going to have a straight 2v2 match against the Hardys, they'll form a Balor club with Finn. And then probably feud with Dean and Seth for the tag belts again.
>>3001915
Nigger what are you on about? Cole was garbage in his NJPW showing. They literally kicking him out of the Bullet Club he was such a talentless hack.
>>3001792
>>3001915
This piece of shit could've had his own shirt and he very well would've been swimming in that sweet merch money, Cody, Omega, the Bucks, Marty are all making OBSCENE money, this faggot could've been one of them, he could've had his own T-shirt. Instead, he decided to get paid 60,000 a year to perform in increasingly smaller arenas only to see a horde of people representing and wearing Bullet Club T-shirts, a faction he himself once was in. He'll come crawling back before long like "H-h-hey gu-guys... Too sw-sweet, am I r-right?"
>>3001915
Y'know the fucked up thing is there's probably people who do actually unironically think this.
>>3001932
>get kicked out of the generic nWo bullshit stable that they stick all the terrible gaijin in
JUST
>>3001915
>Not being glad the deadweight Adam cut itself out
>>3001915
>>3001928
What is Roman's character? "The guy hated by smarks"? "Delusional heel booked as a badass babyface"?
>>3001941
Vinces' cock sleeve.
>>3001934
Oh, really? When you think of Adam Cole's ceiling in the WWE, do you really think he's going to DO big things? You really think the company's going to invest in him when he doesn't even look like he lifts? Is he better off in WWE than in NJPW/ROH in which the Bullet Club is BY FAR the hottest thing in wrestling right now, he could've had a prominent part in the Bullet Club dissension storyline, facing off against Kenny Omega for a power struggle involving the Young Bucks. They could've used BTE to help forward the storylines. Instead, he's going to get a cheap pop, the reactions will die and he'll be just another fucking guy, like Hideo Itami, like Roderick Strong, like Oney Larcan, Bobby Fish and Kyle O' Reilly. Who fucking GIVES a shit about them? This faggot had the opportunity of a LIFETIME and he threw it all away for a 60K a year spot, in which TRAVEL, HOTELS, FOOD AND GAS ARE NOT COVERED. Holy shit, even I make more money than he does.
>>3001921
He doesn't have a character. He's vanilla as it gets
>>3001921
Booman Lames XDDD!!!
>3001915
Shitposting has ruined this board
Then again, how can you ruin something that was never good to begin with

Fuck this stupid prick. This is what he deserves.
>>3001953
What if Trips wants all ex-ROH guys to form a faction in NXT? He'll have the full creative control and he'll try to make them big. Sure, BC stuff sells. For now. Can Bucks and Marty carry on without Kenny next year?
if he shaved his head and trim his beard into a goatee he'd look like steve austin
>>3001988
>What if Trips wants all ex-ROH guys to form a faction in NXT?
The time to do that story was 5 years ago.
>>3001792
He can't even tell his opponents to suck his dick anymore. What's the point?
Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Roode, Roderick Strong, Drew Galloway.... am I forgetting anybody?... and now Adam Page... Cole i mean. litrlly every fkn boring generic Create-A-Wrestler cracker manlet in black trunks that made me fucking hate TNA and ROH to begin with now fludding muh NXT. How many more of these littrly who's do they need to sign? NXT has been so dull this summer, now THIS. Fucking killing me rn.
>>3001988
Who fucking GIVES a shit? Adam Cole, Kyle O' Reilly, Bobby Fish, who else? What are they going to do, take over NXT, those three fucking geeks? Unless NXT and ROH actually work out a deal together, who even gives a shit? They'd get buried by the REAL "superstars".
NXT should be renamed CAW. Jesus Christ. Once based Asuka drops to Ember Who then the brand is truly dead. No personality anywhere to be found.
>>3002018
Galloway's an actual star though, he shouldn't be lumped in with the MY GIMMICK IS THAT I WRESTLE vanilla midgets
>>3002022
>REAL "superstars"
Like? The AoP who are greener than the weed you smoke? Buried tranquilo man? Buried nip who was cucked out of his finisher? Fat guy was never even pushed to begin with? The main event scene in NXT is nonexistent mainly because they can only afford one #1 contender at a time.
>>3002018
>Lumping Bobby Roo with all those hacks
Do you even watch the show?
>>3001988
>Trips wants all ex-ROH guys to form a faction in NXT
if they get to the main roster, once Vince is finished with them they're gonna make The Corre look like The Four Horsemen
Black is the only star in NXT.
>>3002076
I don't know, Ember Moon is good and all but I don't think she's quite there yet.
The best can do it without the E - Kenny, the bucks etc.
Adam Cole isn't on that level.

Jesus fucking christ, these people. Are they capable of even an OUNCE of foresight? How can they not see this as a tremendous failure? How do they not see how bad this is going to end up? "H-h-hell Y-yeah Ad-Adam Co-Cole bayb-bay!" Fucking E-drones are the absolute worst, he's going to be so underutilized. But I think the most heartbreaking part of this all is that we will never, EVER hear this fucking GOAT theme song again. The ROH crowd singing with his song was the best part of him and he's fucking leaving it. What an absolute retard.
Cole is a meme wrestler. Just average, but good looking at least. He's IC/US tier at most, but he'll probably be in NXT for 5 years cause why not
>>3002151
>Good looking
>>3002144
Maybe he wanted to perform i the WWE ring someday which still offers the biggest platform for his craft?
Maybe working in front of crowds that for house shows can up to quadruple the attendance of the biggest ROH crowds.
Maybe attempting to become champion in the major league drives the man. Attempting to secure a legacy might just appeal to him.
>>3002165
Maybe he knows the WWE is the only place where someone as mediocre as him has a chance to prosper.
>>3002066
Yep. He's ok on the mic, but i find him very boring in the ring. It takes more than owning a suit and a neckbeard sing-along to get me hyped for a guy.
>>3002176
Do you unironically watch WWE for actual wrestling? That's like watching porn for linerie designs.
>>3001915
all the traitors will go back and Main event in NJPW just like all the WWE rejects. only thing Cole fucked up on was leaving just as Bulletclub/elite was regaining momentum and he'd have a shirt at hot topic right now making money.
Brian Kendrick 2.0
>>3001932
THIS
Gedo wanted Hangman over Cole in Bullet Club, that speaks volumes about how little NJPW thought about him.
>>3001792
Bullshit. Everyone knows that the Young Bucks killed him.
>>3001933
But enough about AJ Styles
>>3002163
He looks like Mac from always sunny
>>3002703
Cultivating mass, bay bay
New Japan weebs angry at Adam Cole and crying about how he could've had a t-shirt just because he doesn't want to wrestle for neckbeards in a bingo hall
>>3002691
HA!
>>3001792
Looks so unimpressive. Never seen him work but he's overrated by smarks like all indie darlings. He won't live up to hype, they will pretend he's great but he will be nothing special.
>>3001792
O look anudda vanilla midget ehhhh trips how exciting ya goomba
>>3002725
That's not a fedora
I have never been less impressed with a wrestler than I have been with Adam Cole.
I just don't get it.
ADAM COLE BAY BAY
ADAM COLE BAY BAY
ADAM COLE BAY BAY

>most savage and funny moments
Holy. Fucking. Yawn. The comedy and savagery must have began at 5:41 in the video.
>if they dont let him use the BAY BAY gimmick
A catchphrase is not a gimmick. So, in other words, he's going to be an over-pushed glorified jobber in black trunks shouting WE THE PEOPL..i mean ADAM COLE BAY BAY. Sounds like lots of upside.
I've watched him in ROH and NJPW the last 2 years. He's basically a less interesting, fatter Dolph Ziggler. Rip NXT. It's been fun.
>>3002163
Body can definitely be tightened up, but he looks swarthy in the left pic, and he's got good facial bone structure. He could do a chick magnet gimmick better than Ziggler did.
HOLY FUCKING BASED
>>3001921
>Cole
>character
Imagine being this much of an outlawdrone
There's a reason he never got over in NJPW.
>>3002032
lmao
