Either WWE or Cole himself got tried of all the ridicule over his exaggerated listed height since its been a running gag online ever since he signed with WWE. They had him listed at around 6 feet tall but he's actually smaller by a noticeable amount. Like they have Roderick Strong listed as being 2 inches shorter than him despite Strong being taller than Cole whenever those two are standing next to each other.
Anytime I see him, or a lot of guys in recent years who surprised be by showing up in NXT, I keep imagining a quote somebody doing a Vince impression (I believe it was Paul Heyman) saying "... but he's just so tinyyyyy!" - and then I wonder how quickly they would be buried after a call up because of it. Guys like Gargano and Dunne and all of UE - in spite of their skill and charisma and exactly how fucking over they are for their own reasons - don't really fit that whole "airport" test of his.

I feel like I have to say I'm not really shitting on Cole here for it. Not his fault he didn't grow another half foot taller to make all of this a non-issue. It's also one of the reasons why I dislike the concept of their current Cruiserweight title. If a majority of wrestlers in this era are that size, and everyone does flips and dives and shit anymore, what is the point of pigeonholing some particular people as "cruiserweights" and not others?
