Didn't Keith have Covid?
I had it a month ago. I'm vaccinated so it could have been worse, but I STILL have problems doing all I used to do pre-covid. Maybe give the dude some time to shed some pounds, because heavy cardio ain't easy post-covid.

I assume he’s still working his way back from that

Lee chucked Isiah Kassidy 3/4 of the way across the ring with practically no effort. You do know that bump was 99% Kassidy, right?

I harped on Lee's weight in that other thread and stand by it, as well as any comments made about Adam Cole's deteriorating figure. But in terms of actual "red flags" one thing that comes to mind was Lee openly implying that WWE refused to pay his medical bills, which actually got WWE to take an almost-unprecedented step of clapping back at him and inviting him to discuss matters further--he went silent on that subject real quick after that.

The Adam Cole shit is the most ridiculous shit there is.
God forbid someone not be a roided out hoss.

It seems like if you go from WWE to AEW, suddenly your body becomes an issue. Between the body shaming of Adam Cole and Keith Lee, I would worry about anyone who has body dysmorphia really taking it to heart. It's a real problem. When Cole first came in there was a thread that went totally off the rails about his image and had someone taking about how nothing is more toxic than not being jacked with the utmost sincerity and it really makes for an unbelievably nightmarish zone that callously places pretty much no thought to how unbelievably harmful that stuff is and how much male body issues are written off and totally unconsidered.

The ridiculous body shaming is one of the worst things about wrestling fandom.
Fact is, trying to lose weight is extremely likely to be more harmful than not worrying about it and keeping yourself healthy.
If Keith Lee can wrestle other people like he wrestled against Kassidy, then he's doing just fine as a wrestler. I'd never seen him before and he was immediately memorable and stood out (all credit to Kassidy as well for selling like a madman, of course).

There seems to be this idea that Eddie Guerrero had a great physique for a smaller wrestler, dude was roided to the gills. Adam Cole has a small frame, he shouldn't carry a ton of mass.

Cole looks actively worse than he did a few months ago in NXT and I don't think anyone thought he was a juicehead then.
I always thought juiced-up Eddie looked gross, even in 1997.

To add to this, Bixenspan is 100% convinced the source that fed Keller all of that is Terry Taylor. A "friend." Who's seemingly WWE office. And a Torch source. And is going out of their way to cut down a Black wrestler for nebulous reasons. Hmm. Nah, can't be... Pardon my French for a second, but what in the holy f*** is Terry Taylor still doing in the wrestling business? What vast amounts of knowledge could this jerkoff have that he’s been needed anywhere near positions of power for almost 30 years?

I feel like I need to take out a giant billboard that says:
"The man had Covid. Very severely. To the point it was effecting his heart. Cut the man some slack. For Chrissakes."
Like, shit, if the man at the size he is now can still be doing Keith Lee things, and have the crowd in the palm of his hand ONE move into the match, give him some credit.
He probably can't do as much cardio right now as he would like to. Cuz ya know, the whole heart thing. It's gotta be gradual, and he has to be safe.
The people wanting him to push himself to get back to where he was pre-Covid don't seem to realize that. He just needs time, he's even said as much.

Please enlighten me on how Adam Cole looks worse than he did between the two images. Please tell me. Tell me how this is "a deteriorating figure". I agree with everyone else's sentiment, I don't care if you "stand by" what you're saying, the sentiment you're pushing and the fact you keep peddling it with no basis is f***ing gross.

Vince was high on Keith Lee. So, Vince is high on everyone until he isn't. Most of the list of people who were released he was high on at a time.

Yeah this “take” is unmitigated bullshit body shaming and I’m tired of seeing it. Adam Cole’s a slender dude. If that’s not your cup of tea in pro wrestling, so be it. Don’t watch him. Hell, don’t watch AEW if it bugs you so much that they’re pushing him. But the idea that he’s “out of shape” or has “gotten pudgy” (or, the alternative, he “looks like a child”) is completely absurd and unnecessary.

Was he known to cut down other black wrestlers before? The things I know about him are Lots of people think he's a stooge. Stevie Ray called him the most racist person in WCW According to the 2000 lawsuit against WCW, Taylor remarked that white wrestlers were better than black ones ( Vince Russo also agreed with him) Terry Taylor or Stevie Ray?
