Adam Cole

Adam Cole is an American professional wrestler who currently performs for WWE. Cole is a long time friend of Matt and Nick Jackson and performed regularly with them when he appeared for Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. A member of Bullet Club, Cole and The Young Bucks referred to themselves as The Superkliq, a reference to their super-kick move. Cole was a regular character in the first half of Season One of Being The Elite but was written out when he signed for WWE, being storyline murdered at a show by Matt and Nick.

In Being The Elite
As with most of the characters featuring in the early episodes of the series, Cole's onscreen character developed when the show went from being being primarily behind the scenes footage to focussing on scripted material. In the early episodes, Cole begins to spend time with The Elite and appears cheerful and positive. A relative newcomer to the lifestyle of touring Japan he appears much less world weary and ground down by everything than the Bucks and Omega.

In wrestling
Within professional wrestling Cole plays the part of an arrogant, self centred competitor who sees himself as being above his fellow wrestlers. Cole refers to himself as "Adam Cole, baybay" (sic baby) in interviews and in the ring showing an almost rock-star arrogance and self-belief. Cole aligns himself with other key figures in each promotion but doesn't forgive what he perceives as failure and will soon drop or turn on his partners if he feels they could be holding him back.
