Booker T has been known as one of the most outspoken figures in pro wrestling today. King Booker has never been shy in speaking his mind before. However, many fans felt he went too far when he commented on AEW star Adam Cole's physique.

A few days before AEW's momentous Forbidden Door pay-per-view, Booker T commented on Adam Cole's body. Here's what he had to say about the star:

ā€œWe gotta get more weight on Adam Cole, you know what I mean? Thatā€™s his problem, heā€™s light, bottom light. We gotta get some muscle on this kid. Thatā€™s probably one of the reasons why heā€™s going out there, getting hurt because it canā€™t be the schedule at AEW.ā€

Needless to say, fans and wrestlers didn't take too kindly to Booker T's comments. Many blasted him for giving out unsolicited advice to a professional.
