Former WWE Star and current top AEW Star Adam Cole recently appeared on “The Kurt Angle Show” podcast to talk about a number of topics such as how WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is his number one dream opponent.
Adam Cole said:
“Shawn Michaels would be my number one pick. To be able to have the chance to get to wrestle him would be so cool and so surreal, because, again, I’ve studied him so much. I’ve watched him so much and I know him personally, and he’s a wonderful, wonderful person. So yeah, get to be in there with Shawn would be great.”
Adam Cole also spoke about how AEW World Champion CM Punk, who is currently out of in-ring action due to an injury, would be another dream opponent of his because Punk is someone who got him into ROH and Punk's in-ring promos is what really made him and inspired him.
Adam Cole said:
“I know he’s out injured right now, but CM Punk would be the guy that I’d want to step in there with because, again, CM Punk was the guy who got me into Ring of Honor as a fan. I remember seeing his matches and thinking they were they were really good. Then, watching his promos and being like, ‘Whoa,’ this is a like — His promos made me, from a young age, go, ‘I have to make sure that I get good at talking.’ Because he was so so great at it. I thought it was never going to happen. I’m like, ‘Okay, yep, he’s done, he retired. I’m never gonna get the chance to wrestle him,’ and now, it’s a very real possibility. So getting to go in there with CM Punk in AEW would be really cool.”
