"That's his problem" - WWE legend on what AEW star Adam Cole needs to do to avoid frequent injury
WWE legend Booker T emphasized that AEW star Adam Cole should put on some muscle to avoid injuries.
Cole's last match was at Double or Nothing when he won the Owen Hart Cup against Samoa Joe. Since then, he has been sidelined as he was "banged up." He reportedly suffered a labrum injury during his AEW World Championship feud against then-champion Hangman Page.
In the latest edition of The Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T thought that The Panama City Playboy's injury was bad news, and to avoid it in the future, Cole should gain more weight.
"The thing is, we gotta get more weight on Adam Cole, you know what I mean, that's his problem... He's light, he's little bottom... bottom light. We gotta get some muscle on this kid, that's probably one of the reasons why he's going out there getting hurt because it can't be the schedule." [from 1:30:48 - 1:31:03]

The Hall of Famer also mentioned that constant injuries to AEW stars have something to do with them taking independent shows. He believes that even if a wrestler only appears once or twice a week, they shouldn't appear on other promotions.
Booker T has a tip on how AEW star Adam Cole can gain muscle
In the same podcast, the WWE legend prescribed a taking a supplement and hitting the gym.
"If Adam Cole have to have surgery, and he's down for six, nine months and he... you know, lose any more muscle, it's going to be hard on this brother... Because right now, he's about a buck 60, the atrophy of the muscle... Come on, it's gonna be hard to get the people going. So, my thing is get you some glucosamine 500 and see muscles, and see if that work and get in the gym." [from 1:29:38 - 1:30:25]
Adam Cole is by far the most overhated wrestler I’ve ever seen on the iwc. He’s one of the most geniune and nicest wrestlers on the planet and twitter hates on him so much. I just don’t get the hate. https://t.co/HSIAIAGagN
Cole's smaller frame has received attention from wrestling personalities such as the six-time world champion. With his current injuries, fans are eager to see how the former NXT star recuperates and manages his physical well-being moving forward.
