Wrestling legend breaks character, reveals what Adam Cole is like backstage
Speaking on an episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, wrestling legend Tony Schiavone broke character to praise Adam Cole and revealed the latter's backstage demeanor.
Cole had previously slammed Schiavone in a recent AEW Dynamite episode for being too close to his wife, Dr. Britt Baker, and called him a 'nerd.' The former NXT star said he didn't trust him completely and threatened the commentator to stay away from Baker.

After this week's AEW Dynamite, Tony Schiavone sat down to talk about Cole's debut match on the AEW Unrestricted podcast. The latter won his debut bout against Frankie Kazarian on Dynamite and was excellent throughout the same.
Schiavone praised the popular star for having an incredible match. He added that fans can expect more such matches from Cole, who he called one of the greatest and nicest talents on the current AEW roster.
"He is one of the nicest young [men] that I have met," said Schiavone. "Listen, you have to be a wonderful soul to be able to live with Britt Baker. And I'm so glad, because I know that the kid can really work. I know that he can really give us a great match. That’s what it's all about. When fans walk away from a PPV or a television show, we want them to think, 'That was a hell of a match that we saw.' Not all matches are gonna be great guys, they are not and we love for every match to be great but more than that you are gonna have great matches and that's what Adam Cole is gonna bring to us."
