Adam Cole is considered to be one of the biggest stars and the future of WWE by fans but it appears that he is not looked at the same way backstage.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer recently talked about the former NXT champion and revealed how the officials see Cole compared to other potential stars.
Meltzer mentioned how Road Dog had described the situation very well when he said that it’s too bad that the former ROH star does not have the size advantage on his side:
“Brian James [Road Dogg] said it, ‘too bad [Adam Cole] doesn’t look like Karrion Kross.’ I think that mentality right there is part of the problem. As much as Karrion Kross gets pushed and as much work they do on his entrance, the fact is that Karrion Kross is not as over as Adam Cole, but in their minds Karrion Kross is a potential star and Adam Cole is an NXT guy and that in and of itself may be the answer that they’re missing.”
This backstage reaction could be explained as the reason behind the lack of interest in bringing Adam Cole to the main roster and it would be interesting to see what position he would be given when it finally happens.
