Just wondering, what does everyone think of Kofi Kingston in recent times?
To me it always seems like he has constant meangingless reigns with either the IC, US or tag titles and really doesnt have much going on in terms of storyline or what he has to offer outside his usual solid in ring performances. It just seems like he is always carrying some title in a reign that goes nowhere and he seems pretty unnoticed and doesnt stand out even with a belt on his shoulder. Hate to go back and bring it up but since the orton storyline, he hasnt done too much noteworthy other than some cool spots in matches (particularly MITB) other than uneventful title reigns.
It just seems like he's just there in the background and always holding a title and never going anywhere. Not sure what it is but perhaps they just dont have anything or care enough particularly since Air Boom disintegrated because of Bourne.

Kofi still hasn't recovered from that Orton feud but his time will probably still come.

Yeah... They tried to push him and had him best Orton and it led to nothing. They gave him a 'angry man' gimmick but then Nexus crap on him. Stupid waste of talent.

He sucks. He is Koko B Ware with dreadlocks and meaningless IC/tag title reigns.

His problem is that he has no "character"
He's a cool looking dude, who does some great moves. So people like him.
He's solid in the ring, but he just kinda sucks on the mic. At least he gets titles and isn't just wrestling random matches for no reason.

Kind of reminds me of Shelton Benjamin, except that Benjamin was a way better in-ring performer. He had some wins over Triple H and a very good first IC title reign, then it just seemed that he would go nowhere no matter what title he won, and would only be remembered by many because of his MITB spots.

He sucks. He is Koko B Ware with dreadlocks and meaningless IC/tag title reigns. He sucks? Not by any means. He may sure lack a groundbreaking personality but he isn't half bad on the mic. The WWE just haven't given him the right sitution for him to prosper in the WWE. Because trust me, he has emmense talent. So shut up  |

He sucks. He is Koko B Ware with dreadlocks and meaningless IC/tag title reigns. The only things Kofi Shares with Koko are: 1. Their ring names start with a K. 2. They are both male. 3. The color of their skin. 4. They are both wrestlers. The comparisons stop there. Koko was a great worker that had charisma and connected with the crowd. Koko was not a spot monkey and could tell a story in the ring, and did not need meaningless titles to keep him somewhat relevant. I do agree with you that Kofi does suck, but Koko most certainly did not. |

I feel Kofi could be something huge, but they need to change him up. He's been the same guy since he debuted.

Kofi has gone as far as he can in the business I think.

Right now they're pretty much using him as a ring mechanic to have good matches.
That is all.

Kofi desperately need character development. Right now he's got a cool look and some flashy movies, but there's nothing to really make you care about him. Seriously, what is there about Kofi to make you care about him? He's the nice guy who tries hard and doesn't cheat and that's it.

I usually hate when people just say "Oh, they suck as a face, turn them heel," but in this case I really think that's what Kofi needs. I mean am I the only one that feels heel Kofi could be amazing?

An effective heel has to know how to carry a match, and does not use an offense consisting of flippy moves, and in today's WWE has to serve as his own mouthpiece. Kofi as a heel would be as interesting as Torrie Wilson's dad. |

I'm only really interested in Kofi Kingstons because of his comic/ghostbuster themed attires.

I've never cared for Kofi, sure he can put on decent matches but his character or lack there of, just turns me off on him.
