6 times WWE Hall of Famers spoke highly of NXT stars

#3 NXT Superstar Adam Cole has impressed WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Adam Cole has been the cornerstone of WWE NXT for several years now. He’s had such an impact on the brand in recent years that it’s impossible to think of NXT without Adam Cole.

The Superstar has been doing a phenomenal job in the ring himself, and he took to Twitter in April 2020 to retweet a video featuring Steve Austin and The Rock's journey to WrestleMania X7. “The Panama City Playboy” further wrote that it was this promo that inspired him to become a professional wrestler.

The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin have inspired a generation of wrestlers, and it comes as a pleasant surprise that their iconic rivalry also inspired Cole.

The first time I saw this video, I went from being a fan to “I need to be a professional wrestler.” Still gives me goosebumps. @steveaustinBSR @TheRock https://t.co/cSjLNatF51

Cole’s comments on the video caught WWE Hall of Famer Austin’s attention, which likely made the former's day. The Rattlesnake praised Cole for his work in the ring and told him to keep it up.

Yeah, and your doing pretty damn good for yourself. Keep it up. #prowrestling
