Adam Cole heaps praise on Daniel Garcia.
Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia have been facing off in several matches this year, which culminated in a TNT Title match at AEW Dynasty, with Adam Cole scoring the victory to capture his first championship in All Elite Wrestling.
While speaking to Comicbook in a new interview, Cole was asked about working with Daniel Garcia and what it meant for him to win the championship at this stage of his career.
"Yeah, absolutely. Like first and foremost, to go into Daniel Garcia a little bit. When I say that I have all the respect in the world for him, I genuinely mean that. I think I've said before that I think he's the future of All Elite Wrestling and he's already done an unbelievable job. Like you said, he's a former TNT champion. He's been white hot for a long time. Danny Garcia is is the real deal. He's absolutely incredible. So I couldn't think of a better guy to test myself against, than Daniel Garcia, especially with the trilogy of matches that we had. I feel like throughout the matches I had with Danny, I kind of found myself again, which I think was, was really, really important for me, especially returning from two pretty bad injuries. So, again, to win the championship against a guy like Daniel Garcia is, is partially what made that so special. But kind of the journey I've been on these past few years in AEW, I've definitely had some challenges, and I don't think there's any hiding that. I think that's an absolute fact between the head injuries I've had and coming back for six months and then having that horrific freak accident, ankle injury, where I was out for over a year. There was a lot of mental stuff going on up here with questioning myself and wondering if I was ever going to be able to get back to a place where I felt fully comfortable and fully confident and feeling like, yeah, man, I'm back. The matches with Danny certainly made me feel that way. Of course, winning the TNT championship on my 17 year to the day wrestling anniversary was beyond cool. The fact that it was in Philadelphia, which is where I became a fan. It's where I trained. It's where I had my first match. It really felt like this amazing meant to be full circle moment, especially being in there with Danny. So that meant everything to me. It's one of the highlights of my AEW career. One of the highlights of my wrestling career by far, and I think this is the start of something really, really special for me going forward in the years to come within AEW."
