Adam Cole on HBK being involved in all his matches in NXT

[héad.casé]

"The two gentlemen involved in producing our matches (Gargano trilogy) were Michael Hayes and Shawn Michaels, which again, Michael Hayes is great and brilliant. Normally he is involved with producing my matches. Shawn Michaels is involved in every one of my matches. At the Performance Center, I go and work with him directly. A bunch of us do. He is kind of like a mentor for so many of us right now at NXT so he takes a liking and makes sure he has his hand in everything that we are doing."

"Lots of times, the best thing about Shawn Michaels is that he doesn't tell us, 'This is what you should do', he lets us come up with what we think, and he will be excited about the stuff that we are coming up with," Adam continued. "But randomly, if we are stumped on something and we think something is cool but aren't crazy about it, in a matter of five-seconds, he would give us an idea and it's amazing and so much better. It's awesome to have those two to pick their brains. They played a big part in what we created in our match for sure."

Glad HBK is a hands on parent

It's a bit hard to believe that Shawn produces every Adam Cole match, because the ring psychology in the Main Event of the last TakeOver was piss poor.

From that match, you would assume the best remedy for a knackered ankle was a Three Stages of Hell match.

I don't know why, but the fact that Cole refers to people as 'gentlemen' really tickles me.

I just imagine him in an UE embroidered dressing gown and slippers, sitting by a fire with a pipe, head neatly tied up in a bun, as he recounts information while Kyle O' Reilly air guitars with an old-timey tennis racket in the other corner of the room, in full all-white tennis gear with a sweater draped around his shoulders.

Yes I pictured all that after reading one word.

Someone NEEDS to tweet this to UE and make them do a photoshoot of it STAT!

Adam's come a long way. I remember him when he was still pretty green.

Shawn was my favourite back in the day.
Cole is my favourite now.
Adds up.

It's interesting that HBK's method of telling them what to do is similar to Triple H's. I remember Moxley saying that they had all these ideas on something and they asked Triple H about it and a few seconds later he had an idea that blew theirs away. Had they not asked, they wouldn't have known. It's great seeing these guys be the mentors these days.

I'm just impressed for how much Adam Cole (BAY BAAAY!) has accomplished in NXT considering, ya know, he f***ing DIED via Superkick a couple years ago....

I’m just glad his wife Britt Baker has either moved on, got her anger out on the Bucks or is binding her time before she kills them herself.
