Wow this is insanely hard. I was so high on Adam Cole for awhile when he was young and I never fell off or anything I just felt everyone caught up to my fandom and I was never really a crazy Finn or Devitt guy but I think I have to give it to him here. Crazy close tho, if Cole didn't get hurt and had that AEW title run he was gonna get over Joe that may have been enough to change my mind

This is one of the closest first round matchups.

I'm an Adam Cole guy through and through so I'm voting him but it wouldn't surprise me if Finn advanced

Yeah arguably the closest for me too but funny bc two guys I'd probably have voted against a lot of guys I didn't even vote for

finn imo is a better wrestler with more of an impact on the buisness. Adam Cole is close though and I probably like him more than Finn. But ya, Bullet Club is kind of the most important faction of the 2000s so

People tend to forget he was the guy that started that whole thing

yeah people tend to either have rose tinted glasses for nostalgia or forget history altogether it's a weird thing but it happens.

It does not help he has been booked like a goober for a long ass time but I think part of that is Finn himself
