Are you behind it? Vol 2 (yes, 2): Kofi Kingston getting pushed

Red Devils · 10-28-2009, 03:14 PM

I thought Kofi had a decent match with Jericho and I was definitely surprised to see him pick up the CLEAN win as well. Then to have Orton attack Kofi was shocking in the sense that why should he do it? Then for Kofi to demolish Orton's car was brilliant with the way he did it. He deserved this push and I am all for it.

Of course I'm behind it as it gets Orton away from Cena and shows that WWE is willing to start pushing young guys even on RAW. When it comes to Kofi himself, I'm not particularly sure what to think just yet. He's had a couple enjoyable matches but nothing noteworthy, I don't think. Still, I really enjoyed his segment on RAW with Orton's Nascar.

yeah loved his segment on Raw but i dont see him as a credible champion maybe as a handover champion

I just watched the RAW segment where he destroys Orton's car and it was really great. I honestly couldn't believe the transformation from a couple of weeks back when I was watching it. The guy has a LOT of charisma and this was clearly masked by the cheesy Jamaican gimmick they made him use for so long. Now he is more serious and intense and showing more depth to his character, I truly believe he can be a huge star in WWE, and this feud is just the beginning of his rise to the top. I am definitely fully behind pushing this guy and giving him the chance to show what he can do in main events.

Woah, the difference between that promo and his accent was absurd. Completely different. I'm fairly indifferent to Kofi and Orton, but I'm intrigued by it purely because it's FRESH. Orton isn't my choice of top heel, nor it Kofi my choice for best babyface mid-carder... but it's been how long since we've had a top heel fued with a guy beneath him? The segment was certainly good and I'm interested to see where they go from here.

Ahhhhhhh, well yeah Im behind it. I mean why not, hes been in the company long enough, proven he can wrestle and its his time.

And Tommy I didnt realise you didnt want your idea ran with. No need to be calling nubs >:/.

I like the idea. I've hardly been watching lately, but when I saw Kofi going after Legacy I was quite impressed. I've always liked Kofi because of his electrifying style. He seems to be a very solid performer in the ring, and a naturally charismatic guy.

With Kofi getting a push there is the promise of something new, as has been said by many, but also some plain old good wrestling action. I think with his ability to have a good match there's the possibility of less talking in general and more focus on feuding through action. Less DX and Hornswoggle having to entertain with their "comedy".

I'm fully convinced Kofi Kingston is going to be the next major face to blow up to Cena/Hardy/Batista levels if handled properly.

Silver Saviour · 10-29-2009, 12:46 PM

He was fucking awesome on Raw

I watched it on Youtube, and he just smashed it out the park. He realy deserves a push after that.

Let's try this again after yesterday's post got messed up.

The fact that Raw produces so little stars (Batista, Randy Orton and...?) since the brand extension is enough reason to want to see Kofi pushed. I had a lot of criticisms toward Kingston when he first arrived, but since his performance at Wrestlemania, I've been warming up to the guy. My only wish is that they let Kofi develop naturally instead of shoving him in main events in a couple of months. Who knows, he may end up like Batista (2004/2005) and just explode into the main event without the WWE even trying to get the fans behind him.
