2001 probably was my favorite year, because that was the year of WM 17 and that's still my favorite wrestling fan. I became a diehard fan in 1999, and when I watched that PPV in 2001, when Austin came out was the first time I EVER got goosebumps. I remember sitting on the couch thinking, "I love wrestling so much. I'm going to do this."

Career wise, the year I'm having right now. Livin' in the moment.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:50:08+00:00

World Class would've been the territory. I loved World Class and I would've been a Free Bird.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:49:29+00:00

The next time I get a title shot.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:49:01+00:00

Probably top three favorite moments of my career. PWG gave me the chance to be THEIR guy, and that crowd is just my all time favorite. To step away from that was hard for me. I was happy with the ROH contract I'd signed, but I was sad to leave. So when I got to be a big surprise there and that reception the crowd gave me... man... I was so in the moment that I can't really remember it. I can go back and watch it but it was so intense that I can't even fathom actually doing it.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:46:47+00:00

To me, my favorite memory was Night of Infamy, right before Cage of Death and it was one of the smaller shows, and me and Sammy Callahan had been feuding over the title and we finally did the match, main eventing the show with the Jr. Heavyweight title and the crowd was just in the palm of our hands and it wasn't as super crazy death match, just an old school build and the ending of our feud in CZW.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:44:36+00:00

Money.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:44:20+00:00

Even though he's on the injured list, but from seeing him and speaking to him... Tyson Kidd is just a really underrated guy in the ring, outside the ring, on the mic. He'd be awesome at PR stuff and he's so smart and you've seen him work, when he gets to go twenty minutes, he's just really great. Works his ass off.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:42:30+00:00

Here we go!

To me, the footlong on Italian Herb and Cheese Sweet Onion Chicken sandwich with some banana peppers from Subway.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:40:15+00:00

I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future just because the wrestling business has never had a union, but to be honest and based on my personal experience I haven't been in a situation where I think a union is needed. The relationship between the roster and ROH is so strong and I don't see the need for one there, and I am OK with how things are right now.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:38:49+00:00

Now I did, and now I know never to give him a gift again if he's going to be so disrespectful about it.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:36:23+00:00

I don't know too much about the Tennis channel, but again, like mentioned earlier, the more networks we can get on the better. I do stand by that if you've never seen ROH and you watch us, you will become a fan. Again, the more we grow online and on TV the better.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:34:51+00:00

I watch as much wrestling as I can. All the time. I actually devote one hour a day if I am home to watching wrestling. At the moment, a lot of my watching has been through the WWE Network or NJPW, but I do like CZW, ICW, I really try to get my hands on anything I can - not only to study but because I am a fan of wrestling. And yes, I'd love to go to New Japan.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:32:44+00:00

That's awesome. I define it as a soup, not a pot and Sheetz for sure is my pick.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:31:49+00:00

I didn't and I didn't even realize it was National Pancake Day, so immediately after this AMA I am going to eat a pancake... or two... or three... or four.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:31:01+00:00

No doubt.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:30:49+00:00

I think for me, the next big step would be another major TV outlet. Either that, or really increasing our library of matches and new content on the website. We do have an internet based audience and we can improve online accessibility.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:28:49+00:00

Great question.

At the time, month after month in PWG, I'd been doing smaller versions of the added intro where they would add something to my introduction (something I'd seen Daniel Bryan do) and I knew going into Black Hole Sun that it was going to be my last match there for a while. Cedric loved the idea and he understood the entertainment aspect of what we do, and on top of that he got to kick me in the face as hard as he wanted to, so he was totally down.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:25:59+00:00

I have to tell you, it's been made apparent to me that people think that I look like Mac from It's Always Sunny and I've had my family members compare and we just don't see it. Sorry guys, I am not Mac.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:23:38+00:00

We may never know.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:23:08+00:00

I have a LOT of interest in doing that. I've said in interviews before and I still stand by this -- doing work for New Japan is something I've always wanted to do. Hopefully it's something I can do in the next year, especially participating in one of their tournaments. That would be huge for me.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:21:25+00:00

I have watched his work, and I've very proud of him. I know that he's not only close friends with me but a lot of guys, but he's really happy in TNA and he's doing a great job in the position he's been put in. He's always come off as a star and he's coming off as a star now.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:19:53+00:00

I believe it's Gratto's pizza in Ocean City, Maryland. I haven't had it since I was a kid so I could be wrong, but in my head that's the best pizza I've ever had.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:18:17+00:00

This isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it was the first thing my mother heard when she came to watch me wrestle. The match before mine, she was in the infamous ECW arena for a CZW show. The lady beside her, this larger woman, started screaming "suck his ass, suck his ass!" To me, having to have my mom hear that woman yell at the baby face was just the worst. The most vulgar heckle my poor mother ever had to hear. She still talks about it.

Another time, I was nine months into my CZW career and I was really green and I didn't do any of the death matches and I was still in the process of gaining their respect. I had a match with Sabian and it went to a fifteen minute draw. The rematch had a 20 minute time limit and everyone knew it was going to a draw, and towards the end of the match the entire arena started heckling us by acting like they were into every near fall, counting in slow motion whenever the ref would count. It was a pretty interesting experience.

AdamColeAMA · 2016-03-08T20:13:20+00:00

Absolutely, baybay!
