This new Kofi Kingston push irks me because how is he suddenly a top guy when it wasn’t too long ago he was wrestling on pre-shows and losing singles matches to Eric Young, Cesaro, and Luke Gallows, and now he’s beating all the top guys consecutively in gauntlet style matchups? It makes no sense. No wrestler should be able to beat five top guys in a row, not even Braun Strowman or Goldberg. I get WWE is long overdue for a black WWE world champion but this is ridiculous. Smackdown has been so boring with these predictable gauntlets lately. Fans know Kofi is going to make it. Maybe I wouldn’t mind so much if so many guys weren’t buried in the process of getting Kofi over. It feels like WWE is just letting the fans decide who wins and loses world titles at the big shows more than ever.

then stop watching for a while and switch to raw, or nxt, or many of the other non-wwe options we currently have. because a lot of people are loving kofi's run.

Jinder Mahal went from jobbing to Finn Bálor and giving him a concussion to becoming WWE champion within like a month, it’s wrestling. Things never make sense, get over it. ... he’s earned it. End of story. /thread. |

I completely agree. The problem with WWE now is that wrestlers stay for sooo long so I’m not sure how ‘he’s earned it’. Kofis biggest claim to fame is the played out ‘how would he survive the rumble elimination each year’. Being a jobber for 10 years and having 2 or 3 memorable storylines in 11 years somehow gets you a Mania Title match...no one is buying a ‘best of Kofi kingston dvd’

Yeah even with Rollins' gauntlet when he beat Cena and Reigns in the same night he eventually was beat by someone. Kofi just doesn't look like a WWE champion - Big E on the other hand looks like he should be in a WWE championship match.

I don't think its that hard to believe that he's now a top guy. The fans are behind him more than ever, its inspiring him in matches to go that extra mile. Yeah the gantlet was a bit over the top but he wasnt dominating superstars and he eventually lost to Bryan.

Well I think we've found Superstar Billy Graham's secret account. Seriously though, He's deserved it. He's been the midcard title kingpin for so long, he deserves a world title run, it'd be fresh, interesting, and the fans Are for it.

This mindset really needs to die already, Should've died when Bret was Champion. Hell, Bryan isn't all that big himself. |

As I've said before... Whether you like Kofi or not shouldn't matter. What matters is that Kofi got hot, and the company ran with it. They didn't force him to change his gimmick. They didn't have him losing to Aiden English in 30 seconds. They saw Kofi's star rise, and they actually utilized it. And that is something they are usually too late on doing.

You’re acting like Kofi didn’t scrape by the victories, you’re making it seem like he trucked through 6 other guys and Incase you forgot, in the first gauntlet match, Kofi lost to AJ so your argument is ended right there lol
Ziggler did nothing but IC & US title reigns for 5 years before he won MITB and was poised to be a main eventer going forward. Kofi had done nothing but IC and US title reigns for 5 years before he joined New Day to then become one of the most popular Factions in WWE History. He’s earned a chance to shine and he hasn’t disappointed yet.
Also, Incase you forgot, Kofi was poised for greatness only a year into his career until he botched against the companies golden child at the time, Randy Orton.
