BRITT BAKER DISCUSSES ADAM COLE'S CONCUSSION ISSUES AND ROAD TO RECOVERY

Britt Baker spoke with New York Post about Adam Cole's road to recovery.

“All I could do was be there for him,” said Baker.  “I’m a fixer. I like to try to fix things, solve the problems. This was just something where we had to wait and as impatient as I felt the whole time I had to just put on a front like everything was gonna be OK no matter what happened and that was really, really hard. That was one of the hardest things I even seen him go through.”

“Dealing with very bad head injuries there are so many factors,” Baker said. “There’s anxiety and panic attacks and nausea and miserable headaches. When you have that on top of, ‘Am I going to be able to do the only thing I truly love doing for the rest of my life,’ I mean that was really hard.”

“As sad as it sounds, he didn’t want to leave home,” Baker said. “He just wanted to stay home where he knew he was safe and it was like his safe space. I didn’t even try to pressure him to test the limits.”

Cole recently announced his intentions to return to the ring, but no official date has been announced.
