Adam Cole has been through a great deal over the last two years to get back to the ring.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Adam Cole recently sat down with Austin Hertzog of Penn Live. When asked about the series of injuries he’s dealt with over the last two years, Cole reflected on the struggle of coping with back-to-back concussions followed by the serious ankle injury.
“It really does encompass such a wild two years,” Adam Cole said. “Getting the back-to-back concussions and then being out for nine months and not being sure if I was going to be cleared to come back, that was incredibly stressful.
“Then my ankle just exploded, (I woke) up four hours later and the first thing I’m told is, ‘Your ankle is way worse than we thought. You have to get another surgery in seven days,’ I was just soul-crushed. The concussion was scarier, but the ankle was more difficult. It was really, really tough.”
While Cole was finally able to return to the ring last month, it isn’t something he takes for granted.
“I still love every single time I get the chance to step into the ring,” Adam Cole said. “Being able to be a pro wrestler and doing it for a living is all I ever wanted when I was 9 years old. I really have enjoyed every single step of the way.”
