Is it just me but when ever they need to randomly have a face win the Intercontinental or the United States Championship it is always Kofi Kingston? /: It is always Kofi. He beat Dolph for the IC Title in early 2010 and then Sheamus for the US Title at Extreme Rules 2010.. Neither reign really meant much either.. Hopefully he does more with this IC reign. What is he a 4x IC Champ and 2x US Champ? That is pretty impressive stats for singles belts but I don't really see the WWE pushing him to the WHT/WWE Title so if that never happens for him that sucks that he basically already got as far as he's going to go.. He's also been tag champs with Punk, Bourne, and Truth. He's had so many forgettable title reigns.

Extremely happy to hear this. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be the title reign for Kofi. The one that stays relevant and gets him the push he deserves.

I really think the only real story or feud he's had so far that people might remember him for is the Randy Orton feud as it was the only one that brought out a different side of him. I'd like to think this reign will do that again but it probably will be another carbon copy of one of his other reigns...

I really think the guy could do with freshening up. Maybe a heel turn? Give him a new, slower version of his theme, and run with this concussion angle. Have him trying to hurt people with the TIP. It could work, maybe have him turn on someone the crowd likes, like Rey, Cara, Brodus, etc...

The only thing is that would only leave like 3 face mid-carders...

Unfortunately, I don't think WWE would do it though, I think WWE is trying to make Kofi appeal to kids more, another merchandise poster boy since Rey won't be around much longer and Sin Cara hasn't been drawing as well as they expected. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

I still think it's lame that they spoil it. I get the point of it, but it just seems like a buzzkill.

WWE wants to establish that "Main Event" not the new "Superstars", so they changed a title on the show. They want people to get in the habit of tuning in each week since now the precendent for the show is "what's going to happen on Main Event?"
By reporting this, people will likely tune in to see Kofi beat Miz.

I actually really hate it when they do stuff like this.
I get the idea behind it - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. But the fact remains that I could have easily avoided seeing the result of the match until the show aired. I had it spoiled just by checking Facebook. That's stupid.
It's not that I care that much. I probably would have forgot to watch anyway, but regardless.

I see why they spoiled it but it does kinda kill the excitment of Kofi winning. I really hope to see the Kofi we got when he faced Randy Orton. That was the only time I can say that he stood out and made me interested in him.

Like people said I'd love a heel turn for him however I don't expect it or this reign to be of my note..

Is Kofi ever WITHOUT a title?
Seems like one reign ends and another begins.

Did the Miz even win 5 matches after winning the belt? Having him lose now just makes his title run that much worse.

I went from not caring to definitely wanting to see the match. I would have read the spoilers regardless.

I don't understand why people are surprised by this. The WWE has been doing this for years whenever a main title changes hands on SmackDown or a major storyline unfolds like the unveiling of a new GM or something. It's not like they just started doing this today. They probably figure this will help them get more ratings than lose them.

Main Event airs on Wednesday... This.....and I watched the first episode and aside from wanting to see the Punk/Shemus match the show is pointless. In a month or so it'll be Velocity or worse. But Kofi won? I might watch that.

It is on the Main Page of the WWE website as well. I just saw that. I even avoided this thread because I didn't want to know if it was about that. What the ... I was really looking forward to that match too. They did an awesome job building it over the past week.
