MLB Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 55 minutes ago, C.S. said: I think Cole looks fine. But I'm shocked the PWO police hasn't pounced all over Cole being "body shamed." A few years ago, if you dared to mention that Kassius Ohno looked like a slob in his basketball gear, the pitchforks were out in full force. I recall when Cole got very bloated during his indy farewell before NXT. There was a "fat" Cole meme going around. He also had a large lump on his forehead and was looking rough. By the time he showed up in NXT, he was shredded and super tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Adam Cole isn't the most genetically gifted guy ever, and he did spend most of last year not able to leave the house without getting violently ill so it shouldn't be a surprise he's not back in peak shape body wise. Also to be fair to him, he was in there with a guy who appears to be slowly mutating into The Thing from the Fantastic Four so it was going to make him look smaller anyway.

MoS Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Incredible how Eddie Kingston lights up the scene every time he appears. He truly *believes* in everything he stands for, is saying and doing, a rarity in modern wrestling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatomic_elbow Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Eddie Kingston isn't the biggest guy or the fastest guy or the strongest guy, but he is THE guy. He carried CHIKARA during their hottest period and he makes whomever he is feuding with interesting. I missed him greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strobogo Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I like Adam Cole when he isn't going full HBK, and he seems like such a nice and likeable guy that I think he's actually going to have a hard time going heel again. He was never a big strong boi but it is pretty hard not to notice he looks like he has a solid diet and walks around the block for all of his exercise.

Adam Cole >>>>>>>>>>>>> Kassius Ohno, and I'm not exactly a huge Cole fan. PWO too often fetishizes what guys like Hero did 20 years ago in ROH instead of facing reality that they're past their prime on top of already not being used well in NXT/WWE.

KawadaSmile Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 He was used perfectly fine on NXT and his physical shape had nothing to do with his release. I dunno how that still prevails when one can just check what he looked like during his last match - he was slim! As for the trunks/jersey combo, I just hated when he tucked that in. Looked fucking awful. But hey, Kingston has a gut, has almost no imposing muscles, and is one of the most popular wrestlers on AEW just by virtue of being an ass-kicker Hero had a similar vibe.

Flyin' Brian Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 If I was starting a wrestling show on Saturday Night's I always wanted Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting to be the theme song. I definitely approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Much like Smackdown was the Rock's show when it debuted, AEW Collision is CM Punk's show. I almost wonder if they should have called it AEW Clobberin' Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 So he did the Flair Real World Title promo, the Cena Hate Me Or Love Me promo, and threw shade at all the Boots In The Ring Retirement nonsense from Paul and Taker. In 10 minutes. Efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Love or hate him CM Punk is a star. Also, this Wardlow Luchasaurus is not hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Also not hitting, this announce team. Love Nigel, but they are boring me to death so far. Andrade looking good so far in his return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 I missed the first 15 minutes of Collision - yes, the Punk promo - but I caught it on Twitter and YouTube. Not an amazing promo IMO, but definitely some nice lines. The best one was name-checking "the counterfeit Bucks." I'm already sick of Punk's "Tell me when I'm telling lies!" catchphrase though. He must've repeated it 4-5 times. You can create a drinking game out of how often he said it. Wardlow and Luchasaurus are ice cold. I'm past the point of caring about Andrade, and I've never cared about the goofy-as-shit, intelligence-insulting, overrated House of Black. I wish it had been retooled a year ago with Brody King as the leader and ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 "I've decided to shut Collision down." - "The Drizzling Shits" Tony Nese Well, he'll certainly shut the ratings down. Hopefully everyone's Redeemer, Miro, makes quick work of him. If this lasts more than 30 seconds, it's too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
