Who knows if this was true, or if it's just dirt sheet fodder.

But if it is true -- thank GOD Cole got out when the getting was good.

411MANIA | Note On WWE’s Alleged Main Roster Plans For Adam Cole

 

I remember one time during the WTBS era, they did the usual Schiavone "We're outta time, Braves baseball is next!" endings. In about the fourth or fifth inning, the SuperStation cameras find Ric Flair sitting in the nearly-empty outfield stands. He's drinking a beer and next to him is Dusty Rhodes drinking a beer. They were feuding at the time.

Also, was the finish of Moxley's match supposed to come that early last night so we could see him stomping around into the stands?

 

I was watching it on my computer, and I remember it being 9:58 or 9:59. I think they just wanted him to have his big homecoming moment.

 

Why do they insist on totally repackaging guys when they move up from NXT? I thought that was what NXT was ostensibly for, was to not only get them ready for the bigger stage but to create a following within the WWE universe so fans know who these guys are when they get the call-up. When a Keith Lee or a Karrion Kross gets moved to the main roster, they theoretically shouldn't need much of an introduction and they certainly shouldn't need a major overhaul from what was working at the top of the NXT card. Just slide it over to Monday or Friday nights, tout their accomplishments and build them up as a hot new rookie prospect, and away we go.

 

20 years from now, after he’s fired again, Bruce will shit a brick when Conrad reads him that Adam Cole manages Keith Lee plan and asks if it was true

 

And while we're at it, let's get rid of one of our most popular interactive fan chants because he shares a last name with our announcer. Sheesh.

Just fucking simplify it by having Michael Cole say a couple of times, "No, we are NOT related." Problem solved.

 

One of the dumbest things about changing Cole's name is the fact he's already had main roster matches. He beat Daniel Bryan on Smackdown. And he had a match with Seth Rollins on Raw. Plus he's been in the Royal Rumble. He's not some unknown commodity.

 

Have we considered that the fact Adam Cole appeared on Smackdown and multiple PPVs with the name Adam Cole is an indicator the story is BS?

i mean the Matt in Riddle says hello, I guess, but still

 

Mace, T-Bar and Reckoning say hi, too. Mace was on the freakin' Raw broadcast crew even.

 

I had thought of "Lord" Tensai myself, but I could swear there has been an even more prominent example in the past five to 10 years.

 

But those are complete and total repckagings that were gimmick based. Not “hey we already have a Cole here pal.”

If its true Vince wasnt going to allow another Cole on TV, that would’ve come up before Survivor Series 2019
