10 Times Wrestlers Ignored All Advice

10. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston - WWE Champion

Case in point.

'Superstar' Billy Graham has kicked up a bit of a stink more than once via his Facebook page by heavily criticising WWE, Vince McMahon and others. When Kofi Kingston won the WWE Title at WrestleMania 35, Graham changed tact and suggested something erm...a little different.

He urged the new champ to "add 50lbs of solid muscle" to his frame by taking copious amounts of anabolic steroids. The former champion then followed that up by saying, "Vince (McMahon) won't care" and that the WWE chief would "actually be quite pleased with the muscular transformation".

Kingston obviously ignored this advice and kept doing him. There might have been a tongue-in-cheek tone to Graham's post, but it was still ridiculous for him to advocate heavy steroid use in 2019. Kofi managed a lengthy reign without juicing up until he was fit to burst.
