The Official Adam Cole the next “chosen one” Thread

[Pinyapplesuckas]

I guess if Balor can get a push on the main shown, so can this guy. Balor is at least pretty ripped though.

I don't get it. All I see is a catchphrase. Never followed his indy career but he hasn't done anything to stand out in NXT, in my eyes.

all the indie guys are coming in and just skating on past success..fans just love to join in on the chants...i still dont see whats so special about any of those Undisputed guys..

That pop when the crowd realised he was about to win the ladder match

 

[RammerJammer]

He has charisma and carries himself like a star.

NXT's audience seem to care less about salivating over another man's abs than most of this forum

Exactly, it's like we got a bunch of Vinces in TSC, people seem to forget that two of the most over wrestlers in WWE in the past ten years have been the "skinny fat short order cook" and the "vanilla midget" from Washington. Point is, Adam Cole is gonna be a star, he carries himself like he's the shyt, he's not this Roderick Strong type guy people think he is.

 

[TBdaGhost]

Charisma, confidence. Selling, psychology, timing. All the shyt that makes for a good match, is what makes him great.

The catch phrase is just the icing thats gonna sell a bunch of merch

No its not that because the same people who dont get Cole are fans of Gargano and Bryan i bet

With Cole its confusing because he is a small guy who possesses nothing that would make him standout

Besides a catchphrase

I really seen none of that

I see you pointed to nothing measurable to the eye as well

Like believeable offense, athleticism, striking or matwork

I gotta say i never seen a match from Adam Cole that i found to be very good

Tell me how this bum is better than Velveteen Dream

 

[TinFoilSnapBack]

Just like Finn Balor... a bland, boring midget, who cac smarks love.

Balor at least has a decent finish and the demon character

 

[MenacingMonk]

Still not sold on him.

Timing psychology selling and charisma is measurable to the eye imo. Those things ARE what makes matches believable imo. Yes he does have believeable offense and is atletic as well.

Timing is so overlooked imo. Not only timing of moves like in exchanges. But timing of when to do things in the ring to keep the crowd invested. Coles's is impeccable in both regards.


I dont know what matches of his youve seen. He had numerous excellent matches in ROH/PWG ober the years. His Takeover match against Aelister was great. He did his thing last night. Had very good matches with Dunne and Ohno on NXT tv.



I mean if you dont like him its all good im not going to change your mind

I completely "get" Cole...i just don't like it because it don't feel like it's a character. The guy that smirks and does superkicks, that's all he is. I'm just tired of white guys be allowed to just have their whole gimmick be "i'm a cocky a$$hole" or "i'm a badass". While you have someone like Dream out here with this great character that pushes feuds and storylines. Then you have guys like Adam Cole and Aleister Black, cocky a$$hole and badass that just get pushed for doing very little. Alot of people that like Adam Cole actually like all that silly Kliq-Diet Shawn Michaels shyt, it was cool once, but not over and over again. I mean, how long until we call Adam Cole Brunette Dolph, he basically on that same HBK clone shyt.

Adam Cole is trash.
How the fukk Adam Cole and the other bland vanilla midget, Roderick Strong, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Riley get put on.
I don't understand.

Yet Jay Lethal can't get a call up. SMH
