Adam Cole is the only person in history to win the Ring of Honor World Championship three times, but it looks like he’s ready to move on. Cole’s contract with ROH expired on the first of May, but he’s continued to work events for the company over the past few weeks, and he worked War of the Worlds over the weekend.
The former ROH Champion has said that he’s going to take his time as he figures out what’s next for his career, but the belief is that he will end up signing with WWE. Adam Cole has been a big player in Ring of Honor, and it almost goes without saying that the fans are grateful for all he’s done for the promotion.
Sunday night in Philly, Adam Cole said his farewell to ROH, but before he left he gave the fans a heartfelt speech as they showered him with chants of “we will miss you” and other various chants.
“I fell in love with professional wrestling at the young age of 9 years old, and I was infatuated with guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and all the countless superstars that I saw. But what really made me decide to become a professional wrestler was Ring of Honor. I’ve said this countless times and it’s the truth — this place not just the locker room, not just the cameramen, not just the referees, but all of you, we are one big giant family. The love and respect that each of you have shown me is the reason why I can stand here today 9 years as a pro wrestler, three time World Champion traveling the globe is because you guys thought I was good enough. No matter what happens going forward, I just want each and every one of you to know that I deeply love you and Ring of Honor will always be my home.”
