Age.
Are we sure that he was born in 1949? Cuz I just saw him on {{WWE Raw|WWE RAW]] and he sure doesn't look 58 years old. -- Cra sh U  nderride  04:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

So what do you want to do put the age he looks? I think we should try and find a valid source for his age and not go by looks. And since he played football in 1971, 58 does not sound that crazy.141.155.163.3 (talk) 22:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

"On January 27, 2008, Adamle began working as an interviewer for WWE at the Royal Rumble. He then worked on the RAW brand as a reporter until becoming ECW's play by play announcer on April 15, 2008 and he's gay. [1]" Where is the citation that he is gay? I don't think Vince would hire him if this news was known to all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knickedge123 (talk • contribs) 00:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Mistakes
Someone has wrote he is the current wedf champion. Which isn't a belt it is actually what he said instead of the WWE title. So If someone is going to put something like that in shouldn't all his botches be noted e.g. at the royal rumble jest harvey instead of jeff hardy etc Adster95 (talk) 16:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

His miscalls are too numerous to list. It'd be easier just to say his debut was almost universally slated by all and cite sources such as this http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/heyman/article1060395.ece and others. Tony2Times (talk) 17:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Lets just say it was an EPIC FAIL

--Someone has wrote that the story of Mike Adamle walking off turned out to be "true." It has not been determined to be a work (fake) or a shoot (true) event. This is pure speculation based on Adamle's speech on Tuesday, May 6th's edition of ECW. According to the website below, it was a worked storyline from the beginning.

--Speaking of mistakes. How about on June 23 WWE Draft special, how about all the mistakes he made then. Calling Umaga the Samoan Bulldog and saying ECW has been shut out of the draft thus fas, not 10 minutes after they drafted Matt Hardy. What an Idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.147.230.59 (talk) 18:06, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Lead
Why should his WWE gig be the first, and more important job listed in the lead, as opposed to his sportscasting job at NBC 5? Mshake3 (talk)

Well that's just insulting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.216.237 (talk) 15:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No not really its probably the fact that has got him reconised on a worldwide scale as I hadn't even heard of him before he was in WWE. Adster95 (talk) 17:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Italian descent?
Are you sure? Santino refered to him as "Mike Adamali", which in a way sounds Italian and those whose follow the WWE will know what Santino can be like when it comes to his character. Sure Adamle did say "Mucho Gracias" to Santino, but I'm not even Italian and I can say that. Raphie (talk) 11:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Northwestern University football career
Earning All-America honors as fullback in 1970, Adamle also was named the Big Ten's MVP that year.
 * His 316 rushing yards vs. Wisconsin in 1969 remains a single-game school. record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grapple00 (talk • contribs) 20:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Wrong person. I have however added Mike Adamle which I believe was your intented request. D.M.N. (talk) 20:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Employment status
Obviously he's kayfabe-out, but does anyone know whether or not he's still employed by the WWE in a legitimate sense?--Josh (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * He is still with WWE, but he isn't appearing on TV anymore, since he was kayfabe fired. Brady4mvp (Talk) 19:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Announcer releases, from what I've noticed, generally aren't announced (heh). So who knows. Mshake3 (talk) 19:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Broadcast Career
I have a DVD copy of Super Bowl XXII, so I know that he also worked for ABC Sports for a time, but have no info on how long he was with that network. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 17:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Gay???
Is there a source for the story of him being gay? -- 79.204.110.196 (talk) 15:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
