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.
June 16, 20232 yr comment_6005733 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.
June 16, 20232 yr comment_6005734 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
June 16, 20232 yr comment_6005735 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.

Obviously a big part of this is that people actually like Chris Hero.
June 16, 20232 yr comment_6005737 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.
June 17, 20232 yr comment_6005773 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.

Shit was disgusting. I have no idea what Shawn saw in him.

June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005795 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.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005796 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.
June 18, 20232 yr Author comment_6005798 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.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005799 Love or hate him CM Punk is a star. Also, this Wardlow Luchasaurus is not hitting.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005801 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.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005802 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.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005803 "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.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_6005804 Skye Blue should be working with Emi Sakura on a nightly basis, way more upside than Jade in the ring.
