Adam Cole flips out on Pat McAfee after making fun of his size

[WaveMolecules]

I stood next to Naito, and Tanahashi for some pictures at war of the world at the Hammerstein ballroom a few years ago.

Im 5'10 and I was the same height as them.

I'm sorry but am I the only one that is baffled and sick to death of this stupid "vanilla midget" stereotypes that people still like to harp about? Setting my heavy stannery of Adam Cole aside for a minute but I don't get why people still want wrestlers to look like "80s swole up bodybuilders" when in today's world being slimmer, smaller and more athletic is more common than just being all muscles and no substance... do yall really want another Great Khali?

I'm not saying that you have to like "flippy shyt" because that style is honestly not for everyone... but not everyone want wrestlers to be tall and muscle bound either because that type has negativity as well. Hell how much do we complain about Braun Strowman being Universal Champion every week? My point to all of this juelzing is that I wish we could get over the fact that there are smaller guys that are great wrestlers and are credible champions and not discredited them just on their lack of size. It just real stupid to me that in 2020 that this is still an issue.... and fukk Kevin Nash for coining the "vanilla midget" phrase.

Great Khali? Go from one extreme to the next brehs

and yes, most people don't care for Vanilla Midgets

Google says Cole is 6'0

90's level of over billing a wrestler's size

They trying to get viral, but I did a Twitter search on Adam Cole and it’s not blowing up as much as they probably were hoping for.

He needed to slap Pat to probably get those numbers up and have people questioning if this was real or not (a super kick woulda just made it all fake).

I mean not to mention that Pat is also a really shytty “actor” based on this clip and I never even watched the dude on anything before. Like I’m supposed to believe tiny Tim over here is gonna get heated like that because some interviewer brought up how his stablemates kayfabe helped him win and retain his fake wrestling championships?

they should have just stuck with the “too small to be taken seriously/pushed” angle to keep it more realistic. Cole probably felt like he had to drop those f bombs to try and get it over because, again, Pat is apparently really bad at this. Dude had a shyt eating grin on his face the whole time like an idiot. “Oooo I finally get to be in an angle” Mark.

Also tweedledee and tweedledum off to the side tripping over themselves to defend mcafees questions as if shyt wouldn’t be way more awkward in studio if they thought Cole was getting pissed off like that lol.

Cole being champ made me realize Stevie Richards deserved much better

This could be a spin-off thread on its own. Low-key between his age (not even 50 yet), build, ringwork, and charisma/promo abilities Richards should have been much more successful than he wound up being. As great a pairing as he and Raven were, that held him back post-ECW

How many dudes are in on this "Too Sweet" thing because it seems like everybody and their mother do it.

And Send Cole to 205 Live or something.

You have to look at least believable. Adam Cole is not believable.

Some guys are short in height but make up with upper body development.

I say the truth is somewhere in the middle .... You shouldn't hold wrestlers back just cause they don't have "the look"; but at the same time seeing physically large, distinct looking people is part of the inate appeal of wrestling to the general audience

Personally I'd like to see North American wrestling embrace weight classes, and this includes women's wrestling, cause at this point it looks less realistic for someone like Dana/Liv/Kairi try and match strength w/someone like Nia/Bayley/Chuck
