Adam Cole recently spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the appearance, the AEW star spoke about how inspirational CM Punk has been to his career, as well as how he never thought he would have a match with him due to his previous retirement.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On how inspirational Punk has been to his career: “I’ve made it very clear that for me personally, he was one of the most impactful professional wrestlers as far as inspiration goes. I remember seeing him in Ring of Honor and again, watching his promos and going, ‘I really, really want to focus on getting good on the microphone because of listening to him talk.’”
On how he never thought the match would happen because of Punk’s retirement: “Then I thought, ‘Okay, he retired, it’s never going to happen.’ Now the fact that it’s a possibility, I mean, I can’t get it out of my head. I know that someday it has to happen.”
