You’re a public figure it comes with criticism. You get paid and this is part of the job. Otherwise go back to wrestling in high school gyms for gas money and hot dogs.
How can anyone take Kingston seriously as a bad ass? Dude is out here acting like a bytch. Imagine stone cold asking the fans to be nicer to his coworkers.

Makes you appreciate Cena more, because he took much worse for over 15yrs and didn't cry like these clowns. All of these companies have soft ass wrestlers, which proves that you have fans as wrestlers now.
Cena is like LeBron. People will appreciate his work more over time after he's been long gone.

I couldn't stand Cena for most of his run, but he always delivered in big matches.

I wonder how they would have behaved if they had an ECW crowd from one night stand 06
Agreed. Thought he was garbage and couldn't work until RR 07' vs Umaga. That match was crazy good. Still not a fav of mine but he brought it when it mattered.
No one's asking him to look like Batista.
Just build some sorta muscle base and look like an athlete. It could be done with 2 days a week for 45-60mins tops. It's not a big ask.
Even in real combat sports, most of the guys that get away with being lardos are the HW and SHW. Every LHW and below is pretty fit looking for the most part.

Adam Cole has a video game addiction. No other way around that. No one with adequate free time would sit there and listen to these criticisms from other talent to fans of both AEW and other feds, and not think "hey maybe I SHOULD abandon my twitch career and hit the gym for a year and see if these people receive me better afterwards".
Even if he just worked his arms would be a great start. This guy is an HBK stan but even Michaels did his arms best he could...

Did Booker T say this when Cole was a WWE employee or did he notice Cole's body when he went to the competition?

No one said anything because WWE hid it better. Seeing Britt standing next to him made it too hard to not notice it. Also Booker is like the last to actually even comment on it, yet he's getting the most backlash for saying what plenty of analysts have already said.Did Booker T say this when Cole was a WWE employee or did he notice Cole's body when he went to the competition?
HBK was also in great shape in his prime
He has no excuse. Xavier Woods has a whole gaming channel on YouTube and still looks like this:
Former WWE Superstar Killer Kross (aka Karrion Kross) recently appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, and he discussed the WWE NXT promo segment that featured himself and Adam Cole on the June 1, 2021. Cole berated Kross by saying NXT did everything in its power to make him feel special with a cool entrance, the atmosphere, and his valet (Scarlett). And Cole added, “You know what they do to make Adam Cole feel special? They ring the freaking bell! Because on your best day, you couldn’t lace my boots! You can’t hang with me! You aren’t on my level and anyone who watches pro wrestling knows that!”
According to Killer Kross, he had a different rebuttal planned for Cole’s comments that got shot down by WWE NXT Creative because they needed Cole to continue to look strong going into Fatal 5-Way match that was coming up at that month’s NXT TakeOver. Below are some highlights (via POST Wrestling):
Killer Kross on his original plan for the promo segment: “A few people have asked me about this over the last few months [promo segment with Adam Cole on NXT] and I always laugh because it’s partially our fault, the wrestlers, how much people get worked into stuff because it’s our job. It’s our job to make it feel as real as possible. I think it was Dewey Foley who wrote that promo, pretty sure it was Dewey. He wrote it — I mean, I got the promo the day before, 24 hours before. Sometimes you get ‘em two or three days before, sometimes before the day of. I remember that promo, I got it the night before and I remember reading it and I thought, at first, I was like, I guess the promo’s unfinished because sometimes you get unfinished stuff and they just let me say whatever I wanna say because they trust me, you know? So, when I got to work that day, they were like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s not finished’ and I was like, ‘Okay, cool. I have some stuff I’d like to say,’ and it was basically my rebuttal was pretty much the opposite of what he had said to me, which was something of the nature like, ‘Well, you need guys like me to make these people believe in you because there’s 17-year-old kids in the audience the same size as you that can beat the living s*** out of you in a legitimate fight so, when you’re saying this company makes me feel special, I make these people believe in you because without me, there would be no Adam Cole. You’d be in line at Dunkin’ Donuts with everybody else.’ you know what I mean?”
