Potential Movie Star #10: Adam Cole

Adam Cole got his start in the Combat Zone Wrestling promotion, a place where thumbtacks and broken tables are a mainstay, but he tended to use a more scientific wrestling style with some stiff striking mixed in.

Cole would sign with the Ring of Honor promotion and form a successful tag team with his long time Undisputed Era teammate Kyle O'Reilly, calling themselves Future Shock. Cole also wrestled for the New Japan Pro Wrestling company and even spent some time as the leader of the popular Bullet Club faction.

Adam Cole made it to the big leagues when he signed with WWE and was placed in the NXT brand. Though technically a heel, he still gets the lion's share of cheers whenever he wrestles, and fans join in enthusiastically when he raises his arms in the air and shouts "Adam Cole, Bay bay!"

Why he would be a good actor: Ask anyone and they'll tell you; being a successful actor requires good timing, and Cole has phenomenal timing--especially when using his dreaded superkicks. Add in the fact that he's roguishly handsome and you have a no-brainer.
