Hey, who wants some more bodyshaming, that's always a fun topic. I'm not even an Adam Cole fan and the dude looks perfectly fine. And yet...

Maybe the new generation doesn’t give a f*** as far as the wrestlers, but I’ve always said it. If you have a tan and you look good, people see you in a different light. You don’t want to look like the fans, and that seems to be a problem nowadays with a lot of wrestlers where they don’t care how they dress or how they look. But you’re more marketable when you look in shape.

...I think that Adam Cole probably thinks...‘Hey this got me to the dance, why fix it if it ain’t broke?’ But...you’re in the major leagues now, and if The Rock dressed like that or looked like that, or Dave Batista, you know? Stone Cold was a whole different thing. He looked like he was in shape. He looked like he could beat your [ass]. But you’ve got to look the part.

Adam Cole, I like that guy as a person and as a performer, but he just needs a tan, and he needs a little bit more weight.

...I just think you’d be more marketable...’cause he’s got everything else, bro. The guy’s got the looks, the people are with him with the Boom and all that. He can wrestle. You know, he’s got a good a good look. Everything, bro....just those two little things.

Go home Konnan you're drunk again

It's always people bringing up Austin as an example of someone who wasn't absolutely massive in the past to prove that you didn't have to be when Austin, in fact, was absolutely massive.

Adam Cole, this is the ghost of the Superstar daddy. You need to get on steroids and get a tan and then you’ll be Superstar approved and they’ll have no choice but to push you to the moon, baby. Rhesus monkey testosterone for breakfast, Tren and Anavar for lunch, Dinabol for the afternoon snack, and pure Gorilla Test for dinner. Hit the gym with Arnold for 12 hours daddy and hit the clubs with Led Zeppelin all night baby.

[discoelysium]

... I think Adam Cole's general aesthetic and look sucks.

But f*** Konnan and body shaming

[Dub H]

Hey I'm not as high on cole as other people but if the moves the numbers whatever. He is still good

[Deleted]

I swear to god it's like pro wrestlers don't watch any combat sports.

Athletes train to perform, not look the part.

[Mid-Carder]

Imagine bitching about Adam Cole not having a fake tan when he was wrestling MJF with the worst fake tan that ever tanned

[KingPooper]

Didnt he wrestle with a shirt on most of the time?

[Wieners=$$$]

What's Kungus saying about Bungus now?

Come on Konnanners, pencil thin mustache was right there but you just couldn't say it, could you!

Best part is is that Austin was bigger than Konnan. LMAO

Oh my God, this is the hell topic that will never go away.

Not even Taker could dwarf Austin when Konnan mixed it up with Super Caló.

[Kalmia]

My response to anything Konnan says is simply "shut up Konnan."

I think there's a level of hell that is just Konnan, Booker T, and Disco Inferno giving opinions about wrestling.

This irrational need to yell about Adam Cole's body being bad is never leaving us, dig in because it's eternal and all we can do is pray that someone doesn't get supernova toxic with it in this thread.

[Cyno]

Shut up Konnan.

[sabretooth]

Maybe he should toss more salads.

[eJm]

F*** me, all I hope is that we get through this topic with another dozen or so pages where someone claims they’re bigger than Adam Cole, thus would be taken more seriously in pro wrestling.

I’ll just say for the sake of the example; Cole gets reactions. That’s your number one job as a pro wrestler, to get you to care and get invested. If you happen to be talented in the ring, that’s a bonus.

The guy’s got the looks, the people are with him with the Boom and all that. He can wrestle. You know, he’s got a good a good look.

Hard to argue with what he's saying, mostly because it's incoherent and he's arguing against his own points.

There's exceptions to everything. Anything you can suggest has a counter point. Dress well, Foley. Get a tan, Sheamus. Etc. If everyone looked the same it would be boring. Hell it has been in clone factory eras.
