While AEW wrestler Adam Cole is known outside of the ring as someone who loves video gaming--and he streams regularly on Twitch--has fallen ill to the same Elden Ring bug that's plaguing many these days, as it has taken over his life.

As of this writing, Cole has put out 25 streams for Elden Ring, devoting hours upon hours to the game.
