I like Cole, but he needs to build some kind of physique for me to keep believing he is beating these top/ripped opponents...

Then you don't understand wrestling. Being ripped doesn't mean a damn thing.

@@catrionacolville2192 Usually if you are smaller, you are faster, quicker and a high flyer. Cole has none of these over Buddy.

Cole either needed to win dirty or House of Black/MJF should've caused a DQ.
