#4 "Adam Cole Bay Bay" originated from Joey Mercury and Chris Jericho

An unmissable sight of modern-day pro-wrestling, the current AEW Star raises his hands and shouts "Adam Cole Bay Bay" amidst a chorus of spectators. However, he has not received a similar reaction for the majority of a decade since debuting the chant.

The idea came from Joey Mercury, who used to shout his independent ring name every minute or so during his matches, and a heel Chris Jericho, who stood on his opponent's chest and taunted them with phrases such as "come on bay bay."

A young Adam Cole decided to combine the two methods and, although the audience did not catch on for a long time, he persevered.


#3 The Current AEW star is a staunch self-critic

Cole is fond of dissecting his in-ring work. Speaking to Lilian Garcia, he mentioned that he never had a perfect match. Many fans would understandably disagree with Cole's opinion.

The former NXT Champion has participated in multiple outstanding matches, including one against Johnny Gargano. While fans and critics loved the match, Cole found at least ten aspects he didn't like and thought could've been better.
