Leaving WWE was the biggest decision of Adam Cole’s career. Here’s how he felt in the moment. #ReneePaquette #AdamCole #AEW Taken from Oral Sessions #079 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/6QCzBWV...
Bcoz they also knew that Cole's NXT run was over,UE broke,he didn't have any major purpose as such there;so they knew sooner or later he will be summoned upon to the main roster and get screwed by Vince.No wonder why they stood by Cole's decision.
Adam Cole might've had the best career in NXT. He got to lead one of the hottest factions in the business. Got to be the first NXT North American champion. Longest reigning NXT champion. He was in all the War games matches, got to main event a lot of Takeovers. Adam Cole has done it all. I hope he has a lot of success in AEW it's so weird that he isnt in NXT anymore. I hope they put the AEW belt on him soon.
Its actually not that hard to believe, Usually a lot of bad guys on tv are played by actually really good people. If you are a good enough actor, you just think of what it is you don't like in people and then just embody that and turn it up to 11
This guy is the prototype of what a professional wrestler should be these days, both in the ring and out. Too many people try to paint their former job in a negative light, but Cole understands that he has a lot to be thankful for with his time in NXT working for the WWE. Class act and in my opinion one of the best in the business today.
For as often as you hear about guys leaving WWE because they were unhappy, or let go after they weren't used properly, it's refreshing to hear about guys like Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson leaving WWE on good terms and still wanting to explore life outside of that company.
He spend his time in nxt and not the main roster. Vince would have made his career so painful like every nxt performer that joins the main roster.. Hunter wanted to keep his friend away from Vince and that was very good for Cole. Danielson was so over with fans and got what he deserved so of course he left with good terms, but thats rare nowdays..
Look at all those consoles in the background including Series X. Gotta respect a grown man who's not afraid to show off his game collection n be himself around everyone, including his girl Britt.
yeah these trash main roster ideas would've had me heated just cause with the amount of talent, that's the best you got? props to Adam for calmly denying and gracefully moving on
@@youngbreezy5859 I was being sarcastic. Vince let so much talent slip through the company’s fingers by trying to treat independent contractors as his unsharable toys. He can’t have it both ways. Cole showed him that. I hope more do the same.
@@christopherolivarez4887 No thank you. Those two are the most toxic political forces WWE’s ever had save for Hogan and Taker. HHH nickname is literally “The Game”. I will never forget what HHH did to Booker T at WM19.
@@haidierkatwal1801 He couldn't even reach his potential due to his concussion issues. You cannot say "He was better in NXT" when he didn't had the opportunity to work. Now he is in a feud with Jericho and i bet my ass for it that this thing is going NUTS! and he makes his way up to the AEW Championship.
HHH & Shawn Michaels have been working behind the scenes for most of these wrestlers coming into NXT and building the company with no one noticing. These guys need to call the shots in Raw & Smackdown going forward. Sooner rather than later. Vince did a great job; thank you Vince but, you need to move into a more non-executive role inside WWE.
They need to get rid of the writers that don't kno anything about pro wrestling that's a major problem. It's not wrestling to them anymore it's sports entertainment and the fans like me don't want that we want pro wrestling and that's why I've switched to AEW. Just one of the reasons
@@ninjanunch2769 I think there's room for non writers as it brings new ideas to the table. I think egos need to be left at the door when it come to creating storylines.
Renee is so good at doing interviews. I like how down to earth she is with all her guests & it's just nice to see them have their guard down a little while knowing nothing sideways is going to happen. We get to see them in the best light which is cool to me.
I fully support Adam Cole and feel like he made the right choice for him but damn do I miss DaParty🤧, Uno Wednesday helped me through the pandemic as well as many others
Man fuck what happened in the past. Triple H and Shawn should be the future of WWE. I know it's been a meme or sometimes a joke but when you compare Vince to Triple H and Shawn... you can tell who most would rather work under.
I seen a lot of hate comments towards Adam Cole on a different platforms you can't hate on the guy for trying to make a different way of life. Salute to Adam cole
He made the right decision he knows he was being ignored not being chosen to go to RAW or Smack down like others Keith Lee and Matt Riddle NXT is for new superstars he’s not new
Listen to the guy: they were given more freedom to have longer matches with cooler moves in NXT .. they were given creative freedom.. Vince just uses WWE to tell his story regardless of the talent value in front of him :/
well yeah it's still a business, vince pushes guys who are more marketable. The casuals aren't really into the 30 minute matches unless it involves someone like roman reigns or john cena.
That's the mind of one Vince McMahon, from his perspective he just wants to see athletes Beyond just being a wrestler henceforth he wants you as a sports Entertainer, if he doesn't think or see you as a sport Entertainer whether or not if you're a great wrestler, he ain't looking in your direction
Funny how Adam Cole never got to deal with any change, but Keith Lee, my goodness, soon as he got called up, good bye Keith, enter the bearcat. 😡🤬 Hunter should’ve preserved Keith Lee as he did Adam Cole.
@@WAREHOUSE553 sure he does, you really think H doesn’t have a say in which superstar he wants to keep and doesn’t wanna keep, it’s the same reason he wanted balor back, same reason he wanted ember moon back. He’s always in Vince’s ear. Keith lee got called up abruptly, like it didn’t make sense, he lost to Kross just like that. And was called up. Cole had a 400+ day reign, and lee deserved something similar. H doesn’t care about the big guys, he just wants to keep the small guys. So I don’t feel bad for triple h, he’s not a victim, he’s an enabler.
Watched this guy back in ROH, Hunter & Shawn did good getting him to NXT. He helped push NXT to its best along with others. It sucks I wont see him on the main roster but its good cuz Vince is always fucking over anyone coming from NXT & he wouldve ended up like others. Maybe he couldve won the IC Title & have a good run but hopefully in the future he comes back
Glad to here Adam and Bryan not bury WWE. Whether people like it or not they do make people stars. Yes most are poorly booked but they still get there name there.
Whenever Adam talks about his Twitch, I immediately think of Austin Creed and how much he loves doing that, but he can't. This petty BS about making some extra money needs to stop.
@@tercial actually Vince allows them to stream but if they're using their WWE ringnames while Twitching, Vince wants his shares out of those videos as well. That's why Asuka goes by her real name Kana or Xavier Woods with another alterego Austin Creed for UUDD so that they can keep WWE away from their channels.
Great interview but I wish you would have asked him how many times he apologized to Schiavone after that interview segment 🤣😂 but cool too keep Kayfabe
Adam cole will thrive anywhere that let him be ADAM COLE. Vince was going to ruin him especially making him a manager. NOW HE IS ALL ELITE BAY BAY❗️❗️❗️❗️
Adam Cole knew the writting was on the wall so then decision to leave was easy for him. I bet had NXT stayed the same or RAW/Smackdown would have allowed him the crative freedom provided on NXT he would have stayed. While you can say he wanted to be with his girl or his friends he has friends on WWE/NXT and was super close with Hunter and Shawn. I'm 190% sure if something happened with Vince and Hunter ends up running the wrestling side Smackdown and RAW are going to be more similar to his NXT and Adam Cole would consider going back to that.
@@thetruej7872 Basically his Twitch is super important to him and on the main roster talent aren't allowed to have third party things like that so the decision was easy for him
Interesting. Honestly seems like Shawn basically encouraged Adam to join AEW. Adam just seemed like he didn’t want to say that outright because he knows the heat it’d get Michaels backstage
Triple h and shawn should go to aew and become the new evps to tony khan and let all of the elite become full time performers without worrying about office work
The real reason adam left nxt because it was his last day of nxt and Vince told him he’s going to the main roster so he was like FUCK that. He quit wwe and moved on to aew. I don’t watch nxt and I figure it out 🙂 even without watching the interview. I only pause the beginning to comment.
I feel that everyone wants to believe wwe is evil and sometimes it’s not. Ultimately it has to do with the person. This man seems like Booker t when one promotion/company ends it’s time to move on to the next territory. I hate when wrestlers only dream of wwe like that’s the pinnacle. Sometimes I wonder if they want to be wrestlers or just another water version of John Cenas The Rock
So Adam Cole left wwe basically because they wouldn't let him keep his twitch account...Wwe needs to rethink this...If they can go do movies, I don't see what the big deal is in having a twitch account.
TWITCH?Thats still a thing?...and that's a thing you would leave WWE over? He could have been the next HBK in WWE. If everything was as great as you say in WWE then why leave? Let's hear the real Story...he must have one.
@Jason Sutton ppl can make a ton of money on Twitch. And just because he has the makings of a Shawn Michaels doesn’t mean WWE would book him as such. They were going to make him Keith Lee’s manager, like how Lio Rush was to Bobby Lashley.
Renee was joking obviously when she said "screw those guys, the war is on bitches." but not very deep down, she was being serious. The way Mox left WWE & went straight to AEW not really knowing how the company would do overall, & all of his interviews & podcasts he did like Talk is Jericho where he buried most of the company & talked about everything that is wrong in WWE, & being one of the first guys to do that & by jumping ship. Sge definitely meant it in a lot of ways just knowing what some of their conversations are together regarding WWE. As far as Cole goes, he's such a genuinely good guy that I know he's telling the truth about his experience there, but there has to be a little bit of competitive spirit in him that wants to either prove how good he is to Vince & WWE, or just wanting the best for AEW.
NOW HE REGETS LEAVING WWE. BECAUSE NOW TRIPPLE H TOOK OVER. HE WISHES HE STOOK AROUND A LITTLE LONGER. SO HE COULD BE AROUND FOR THE TRIPPLE H TAKE OVER IN MAIN ROSTER. NOW THAT VINCE RETIRED. WHEN ADAM WAS ON WWE NXT. HE WAS ALWAYS LEVELED AS A MAIN EVENT STAR. ALWAYS MAKING BIG MATCHES IN THE NXT MAIN EVENT. HE WAS A ACTUAL THREAT FOR ANYBODY WITH A TITLE. TOP GUY PERFORMER. SINCE HE JOIN AEW. HE STUCK DOING MATCHES IN MID CARD. UNDER CARD. NO TOP POSITION. HE HASNT BE ELEVATING SINCE HE LEAVES WWE. HE DECREASES. IF ADAM RETURNS TO WWE. THE NEW WAR GAMES MATCH. IS HIS MATCH. NOBODY WILL DENY ADAM COLE AND UNDISPUTED ERA MADE WAR GAMES SPECAL. IF ADAM RETURNS. HE SHOULD APPEAR IN THE MATCH. WHETHER THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR. ADAM COLE VS CODY RHODES. NXT WAR GAMES. UNDISPUTED VS BULL CLUB. THE TWO MEN THAT MADE WAR GAMES. CODY WAS NEVER IN THAT MATCH. BUT THE RHODES FAMILY CREATED IT. ADAM WAS THE GUY TO MAKE IT THE BEST.

Adam kept it professional but we all know he left due to the out of touch with reality Vince McMahon wanted to bring him up, change his name, cut his hair and, make him Keith Lee's manager. That just proves the wwe will be better off when McMahon is dead. CM Punk was right all along. Go figure.
Left a deal on the table that involved him quitting his paid hobby, shaving his head bald, managing Keith Lee (who needs no managing at all), holding the 24/7 title, and being a lifetime midcarder Took a deal that involved him keeping his paid hobby, working the same days as his significant other, debuting on pay per view, immediately having top guy status in the most loaded locker room in wrestling, and getting kissed on the cheek by a couple of his buddies Wow, what a poor choice that was /s Also, it's nWo cosplay, not DX cosplay
@@tvhd6472 Well, half of them are in AEW. And the other two don't really seem to fit Vince's bland new vision for NXT, so they might be free agents sooner than later.
