I don't watch or support aew because of cm punk but one of my buddies is a huge Adam Cole fan so we watched a recent match of his against one of the revival members and he looks horrible. He is so pale and he's always been a small guy but he has zero muscle definition now, he looks almost as bad as punk does but me and my buddy always thought that Cole respected the business enough to stay in shape unlike punk. Is there a reason why Cole looks so bad??

Lmao the Hulk Hogan maniac has an ethical issue with Mr. Punk. I can't believe this is a real person.

“No muscle definition”
Let’s see that body beefcake. You have to be in killer shape.

Better to look pale than to look like a carrot.

Wrestling has always been a body business.

I'm very glad guys like Cole can be mega stars without being body guys. Growing up watching all the human pincushions wrestling led to a huuuuuuge amount of body dysmorphia for me that is likely never going to go away.

I've less of an issue with Cole's body and more of an issue with his booking and how uninspired his run has been. He's just rehashed his NXT faction but much worse. The Undisputed thing got old.. changing the promotion isn't gonna change that fact.

And on top of that, booking the face of a company you destroyed so bad it had to move nights doesn't make any sense at all. If I ran WalMart I wouldn't bring in the guy that ruined K Mart to be a main person in the company. Long story short, Adam Cole sucks and his entrance is mega cringe.

You can find guys of all body types, but almost all of the main guys going back to Lou Thesz and George Hackenschmidt have tremendous bodies. They all look the part of a world champion. Adam Cole does not. He looks like most of us here.

I just said you can find wrestlers to fit any body type. The majority of world champions have much better bodies than Adam Cole, and that's a fact.

you said wrestling had always been a body business, not that world champions on majority had athletic builds. that’s two separate points
I’d agree that Cole isn’t as physically formidable as those names, but I also don’t feel it’s necessary. wrestling inspired by the ROH revolution isn’t nearly as tied up in physiques as the wwf has traditionally been. there is no hard rule in wrestling for that.
it truly became a body business in the 80s and some of the 90s, since then it’s moved away from a lot of that. Daniel Bryan doesn’t look that much more imposing than Cole.
