>>13491692We all know what's going on here and it's not that, so drop the act. Adam Cole refuses to maintain the requisite muscle/fat to LOOK the part of a wrestler. He doesn't need to be 250lbs or even Ospreay-sized, but being 190lbs doesn't work, especially for a guy who isn't pulling off SSPs and other high-flying moves like Darby Allin, who would make a great transitional World Champion
I don't see any way possible Adam Cole gets more than a single world title shot in the next year, a la Ricky Starks in 2022 and Jay White in 2023, and then flounders. There's too many big stars coming in and the buildings are too empty to not have a TOP ATTRACTION as the World Champion - heel or face, but not a man-bun twink with a fake stutter.
