Adam Cole Comments on Criticisms of His Presentation in AEW

Comicbook.com held a recent interview with Adam Cole. One of the topics discussed included Cole’s thoughts about the online criticisms over how he has been presented in AEW since his debut in the company.

“I don’t know [if the program with Hangman Adam Page will quiet the talks about how I’m used in AEW]. I think some people look at it and they think it’s really, really exciting to finally be able to get the chance to step in there with a guy like Hangman, who I respect dearly. He’s a great AEW World Champion and then at some extent, I know some people — at the end of the day, I guess what I’m trying to say is I know some people will be happy with the direction of where I’m going and some people won’t be happy and that’s just the reality of our situation and the pro wrestling business. I do think fans have a lot to be excited about; I think especially where we’re going and what’s about to happen so, trust me when I tell you there’s some good things coming for Adam Cole bay bay.”
