What does being a good wrestler have to do with being a heavyweight? Heavyweight champions in PWG and ROH are cruiserweight sized dudes. He's billed at 210, which means he's def under 200 pounds. That ain't a heavyweight.

Does he weigh that much less than Okada Naito Styles?


If he's listed at 210 that's all that matters. They're not having official weigh ins and shyt

He's obviously not a heavyweight is why. Naito has a solid 15-20 pounds thicker than Adam Cole. Okada is 5 inches bigger. AJ had a decade of experience working with actual heavyweights to where it wouldn't be weird for him to be wrestling heavyweights.

Bland ass Adam Cole is smaller than Evan Bourne. Dude is the same size as the Young Bucks, and the YB will never ever be heavyweights in NJPW.

Yeah, but one that makes sense and means something, especially in Japan. Adam Cole looks small and skinny fat even against little dudes in the US. The actual heavyweight dudes in Japan are going to make him look silly.

Heavyweight dudes like who? Michael Elgin? Elgin & Cole have had great matches together

He had a great match with Nakamura as well and at no point did he look too small for either.

Should he put on muscle, yes. But its never been a problem for him yet

Cmon man. Hes bigger than Sydal and the Young Bucks. Him and Naito both have very similar builds. Hes a heavyweight. And would be one anywhere he goes.

And unlike Styles, Cole is only 27. But he has plenty of experience working with true heavyweights and never looks out of place
