Discuss.
After seeing the promo on RAW with Orton, i believe he has huge potential as a new crowd favourite. I think he has that cheekiness which the Rock had.

He isn't the new Rock, he is the original Kofi Kingston.

Kofi Johnson Kingston can honestly never replace Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Just a fact. Not hating on Kofi at all either, but it's hard to compare anyone to The Rock IMO.

Also have you fucking heard the Rock on the Mic. The guy brought down the house with every word he said. Kofi showed competance and confidence and poise but I mean come on. The Rock was above and beyond, he played the crowd like a violin.
Use your head before you say something like that.

No one can replace The Rock.
But do you reckon he could pull off something similar?

The Rock is one of the 3 biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. Kofi could have a Hall of Fame career and still never come anywhere close to The Rock.

Tron, you are a fucking faggot moron. "Who is the next Rock?" There is no next Rock. Rock was a one time thing, no one can be the Rock execpt the Rock. Kofi can get big, no doubt, but don't try to make him into the Rock.

This is the first time he's gotten the chance to talk. It's very hard to tell. And honestly at the end of the day he's probably just going to have another generic "push" where he gets to a certain level but not fully to the top and then bounces around the upper mid card like he's been doing.
If he doesn't.... well hopefully he can be the first Kofi Kingston, if you know what I mean.

Hell, he didn't even speak during the commercial he was in.
A little early to be calling this..........

I didn't see the promo, but it is hard to believe that this guy could get to the Rock's level. However, being the optimist here, I will not put it outside the realm of possibility. And try not to be offended by some of the comments up there. Calling someone a moron for something like this should get someone banned from a forum. As far as I'm concerned, everyone better hope Kingston or someone else can get to that level just for the sake of the business.

Speaks volumes for the IWC's desperation (ugh did I just use IWC?), lol a guy cuts one decent promo... one that is actually generic as shit (although done quite well on Kofi's part) and he is hailed as a possibly the next Rock. lol wtf

Basically this.

Although BDC was unnecessarily harsh, lol at this
steveviscious will be a hit here, I can tell.

Remember when everyone thought MVP was great when he interrupted Orton that one time in the summer? How'd that turn out?

Why haven't they pushed MVP?
Johnny Vegas

Well they didn't go all the way through with MVP. It was as if he needed to get at Orton so the crowd would "automatically" follow him. But then, he just did other things.
Kofi actually fucked up Orton's car, so you know this isn't going to die in a week.
BTW, this is one example as to why there will never be another "The Rock":

I don't see him as "the next Rock" but you can certainly draw some comparisons from when Rocky Maivia traded in his smile and his goofy haircut for The Nation of Domination and the name that took him to the top.

Oh FFS, Kofi did one great promo and he's being labled as the next Rock? Come on.
That said, it was pretty impressive though. A few people are throwing around the MVP thing, and in all honesty, his face turn has limited what he can do with the character, or at least he isn't being written for / booked into anything memorable. Which is a damn shame, because MVP is great. He's my favourite guy on RAW right now, for some reason.
One promo doesn't earn him Rock comparisons, however his future just got 10x brighter since he dropped the accent.
