Eh, I like it. Hopefully they sell it at the UK Championship shows.

I still just do not get Adam Cole. You're not alone. No idea why Haitch has a hard-on for this guy. I'll steal a quote from WhatCulture: "Cole’s wrestling style is safe, clean, and precise, and he focuses on classic ring psychology and a simple (but effective) offensive style rather than dangerous dives and flips. He’s far from dull, but Adam’s risk-averse still will likely endear him to the company, who ultimately seek to mould all new recruits into a similar image." I think what Trips sees in Cole is the archetypal NWA guy he idolized back in the day: a non-flashy 'cerebral assassin' type who depends more on in-ring psychology and character work (but not too flashy of a character). A safe worker who adapts to the WWE style very well and also has a legion of fans from the indies.

There were others more deserving and I honestly thought they were priming EC3 for that title.

If you can't stand his on-screen arrogance and annoyed by his character's persona then yeah, he's doing a great job and further proves why Triple H would like a guy like that.

What do you mean by “just handed it to him?” Anytime anybody has ever won a championship in pro wrestling it was handed to them by management. Literally every time.

He's an unbelievably irritating shitbag of a human being.
He's the main reason I watch NXT.

No tweak to the Undisputed Era logo, despite the added member? I'd be concerned if I was Roddy once Fish is back. I think it did change, at least compared to the first shirt. The one of this shirt looks like 3 interlocked triangles while there are gaps in the original to clearly make out the letters CFO. yeah the Logo did change, the F is no longer visible... it's three triangles now. Kyle O’Reilly needs one that’s just a picture of him doing air guitar on his title belt. I agree 3 million buys...

It's one of the things that first got UE over with me, having not seen shit in them for a long time. I would wear the shit out of a shirt of this for its sheer terribleness, honestly.

Wait I’m confused, you can’t stand how they “just handed” the belt to a guy who has been consistently performing over the last 6 months in some high profile affairs (War Games, vs Black), thinking it should have gone to the guy literally just having his (re)debut match instead?

Here's how bad it is for me. I never watched him on the indies, and I still love him based soley on NXT. I have no idea why I like him, other than how good he is at playing a weasel. Something Bryan Alvarez noted about Cole - virtually everybody else his size in pro wrestling right now does crazy, high-flying and dangerous shit, yet Cole doesn’t and never has, but is still crazy over. This makes Adam Cole the smartest man in wrestling. Wow, that actually explains why I probably dig him so much. He's a lot like late ECW Steve Corino, who is one of my favorites of all time.

I like Adam Cole but that's a real boring selection of shirts. It’s appropriate. I don’t remember the guy ever having a memorable shirt.

I hope that once UA gets brought up to main roster that they don't stick Carmella with them. The CFO on their previous shirt already reminds me of the theme making duo and they don't need to make it any more of an in-your-face idea.

They already have Strong with them, so they can go that route anyway.

I have no idea why I like him, other than how good he is at playing a weasel. I didn't either, but I figured he'd end up winning me over with his facial expressions alone. And he has. I like Adam Cole BAYBAY!
