10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sept 28)

7. Adam Cole's Unique Issues With Airport Security

Meanwhile, in 2018, Adam Cole is getting laughed at for claiming he's a pro wrestler who works full-time for WWE.

Both Edge and Christian had to stifle their own giggles when Cole joined their podcast to share his tales of woe about going through airport security with the NXT North American Title in his baggage. From April-August this year, he had to shrug off comments about his small stature and verbally re-assert that he was indeed a WWE wrestler.

Staff working for the TSA just wouldn't believe him, and some even asked if he actually worked in WWE offices as an admin assistant or something like that. This led Cole to point towards the belt, say it made him "really good" and encourage security to watch sometime. The ridiculousness of that scenario is not lost on him.

At around 5' 11", Cole isn't that small. Lord only knows what TSA agents thought of Rey Mysterio when he was strolling through airports carrying the massive World Heavyweight Championship strap.
