#2 Adam Cole is crazy

I think Adam Cole is going to need to get his spine checked out.

I cannot believe that Adam Cole did that chair spot. Seriously, what sort of guy thinks he should put his spine through that sort of potential damage with a backdrop onto the top of two steel chairs? It was one of many painful moments in a very creative Extreme Rules match between Adam Cole and Aleister Black.

Adam Cole surely took the bulk of the worst bumps in the match. Besides the brutal drop onto two chairs, he fell front first onto a ladder and was stomped through the announce table. If you add in the bloody cut on Cole’s hand, you get an unexpectedly tough Extreme Rules match. Black took a high-risk drop through two tables from the top rope as well.

The match was pretty much what you could get from a WWE style Extreme Rules match. It was creative, filled with lots of outside interference and quite painful looking throughout the twenty-minute encounter. I just hope Adam Cole gets a few days off from the WWE Performance Center. He is going to need it.
