Former wrestler Konnan criticizes AEW stars’ physiques, reignites body type debate in wrestling
Konnan, a former professional wrestler, has sparked controversy by criticizing the physiques of several AEW wrestlers. He specifically called out Daniel Garcia, Hook, Jack Perry, and Wheeler Yuta, suggesting they need to gain weight to be taken seriously in the ring. Konnan argued that these wrestlers should compete in lightweight divisions due to their smaller stature.
This criticism is part of an ongoing debate about body types in professional wrestling, particularly in AEW. Other industry figures, including a WWE Hall of Famer and Kevin Nash, have made similar comments about AEW wrestlers’ physiques compared to WWE’s roster. Despite these criticisms, AEW continues to feature smaller wrestlers in prominent roles, with Daniel Garcia set to face MJF, one of the company’s top stars, at the upcoming All Out event in Chicago on September 9.
