It is a common enough misconception that WWE is blind to talents outside the company (sometimes in it too). But lately, WWE has signed some great talents from the indy scene like Styles, Anderson and Gallows. It looks like WWE was looking to sign one more indy name, but the status of it hasn’t been revealed and there are no concrete news about it.
Dailywrestlingnews reports that Vince McMahon was apparently high on ROH wrestler Adam Cole.Vince reportedly wanted to sign Adam Cole, but Cole’s contract with ROH doesn’t end before 2016. We can expect Cole to be another one of the big names that will signed in the early 2017.
For those who are not familiar with Adam Cole, Cole was the latest edition to NJPW's infamous Bullet Club. Ever since Styles, Gallows and Anderson made their way to WWE, the infamous Bullet Club has been short of members. Adam Cole was recently recruited by the stable to make it strong once more. Adam’s popularity may rise to greater heights as he is now associated with Bullet Club.
Adam Cole recently talked about joining WWE. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“I’ve always said this literally since I was 18 or 19 years old when I really started thinking about my future in pro wrestling. So much stuff can change at the drop of a hat. Now with this formation with the Bullet Club, knowing there’s a lot of great stuff coming for me in New Japan, definitely some great stuff coming for me in Ring of Honor, it’s almost, and I know this is such a cliche answer, but there is so much for me to focus on in the here and now that if I lost track of that and focus too much on what a year or two will look like for me, I’m going to let this moment pass me by and I can’t do that. This definitely is the most talked about that I’ve been. It’s the hottest I’ve ever been and in order to make this run as good as humanly possible, I need to focus on what’s right in front of me and focus on making this the best that I can.”
