>>6232212It's simple. Guys like Darby and OC wrestle like they're smaller guys, they wrestle like underdogs and Darby especially just throws his body around with extreme violence and risk to himself, which makes him based.
Darby knows how small he is. He wrestles small, most of his matches have the story about him being small. Adam Cole, on the other hand, completely no sells his size and just wrestles like a normal guy.
And having said that, I still think Darby and OC work out way more than Cole.
