Adam Cole is one of the top Superstars of NXT and is a former NXT Champion. He was previously voted as #1 on PWI’s Top 500 Wrestlers last year.
However, despite his performance, it seems WWE’s opinion of him is somewhat different. Dave Meltzer talked about what the company thinks of Adam Cole on Wrestling Observer Radio. Here is what he said:
“Brian James [Road Dogg] said it, ‘too bad [Adam Cole] doesn’t look like Karrion Kross.’ I think that mentality right there is part of the problem. As much as Karrion Kross gets pushed and as much work they do on his entrance, the fact is that Karrion Kross is not as over as Adam Cole, but in their minds Karrion Kross is a potential star and Adam Cole is an NXT guy and that in and of itself may be the answer that they’re missing.”
Cole recently won his NXT TakeOver WarGames match against Pat McAfee’s team. We will have to see what is next in store for Cole.
