ADAM COLEThe ROH guys looking at the New Japan guys coming over, we’re just psyched. We think, “oh great this is just going to make our show even better.”
ADAM COLELike if I go to a movie for example, and I watch a movie, and I wasn’t a fan of it. I don’t mind turning to my family or some buddies
ADAM COLEThe cool thing is, when we first did our joint Ring Of Honour-New Japanies Wrestlers, I think that definitely existed. I think the ROH guys were like, “we can’t let these New Japan guys outshine us”
ADAM COLEI’m with and saying “oh man, I really didn’t like that movie.” But I’ve never acted or directed in my life. But I’m able to voice my opinion about whether or not I enjoyed it or not.
ADAM COLELos Angles to me seems to be a little bit more forgiving. They’re just as rowdy and they’re just as excited but they understand a [botch] happens sometimes, and they’re excited to see the show and they just want to have some fun.
ADAM COLEBut now Jay Lethal has turned himself into this very formidable, dominant world champion, who is having some of the best matches in the entire world. So it’s really cool.
ADAM COLEHe’s unreal. He’s amazing in the ring. It doesn’t matter who he’s wresting. He’s unreal on the microphone.
ADAM COLEI think too, Jay Lethal being apart of Ring of Honor and being in that role where he’s one of the guys who has the company on his back, he’s taking that very seriously, and you can see it n his work. So it’s been really cool to see.
ADAM COLEThe big difference that I notice, and this is what all love as New York city and Philadelphia has treated me fantastically, but man, you cannot screw up in Philadelphia and New York.
ADAM COLEI don’t necessarily notice too much of a change in the sense of the kind of matches that I have in say a Los Angeles as opposed to a New York City.
ADAM COLEYou’re constantly growing and you’re constantly progressing and changing up you’re style and gauging an audience to make sure that audience is enjoying what you’re doing.
ADAM COLEMore and more people are interested in jumping on the Ring Of Honour train. I definitely think the success will continue.
ADAM COLENot only the main event, the entire roster feels the pressure and are ready to deliver.
ADAM COLEMy all-time favorite match that I’ve ever had was against Kyle O’Reilly in 2012, the ‘hybrid fighting rules match’ where we were bleeding buckets all over the place. And it was really a match that took my career to the next level.
ADAM COLEMe and Kyle went in there and we had a match that kind of made waves throughout the independent scene as far as us getting our names out there. We both got signed to Ring of Honor at the exact same time.
ADAM COLEHowever, the positive, and I mean this, Jay Lethal and Kyle O’Reilly are two of my favorite opponents. I couldn’t ask for two guys I’d rather be in a triple threat match with.
