From Jamaicanmecrazy to Ghana-rea. Kofi Kingston was announced as being from Ghana, West Africa on Smackdown X, apparently packing up and leaving his longtime home in Jamaica. This doesn't make much sense as he does most of his wrestling in the United States. Is Kofi Kingston moonlighting as the Ghana Federation Champion? Has he fathered a child from Ghana? Was Kofi forced to flea after committing a crime in Jamaica? Only you can...
SPECULATE
THE
RELOCATION!!!

On a half related note, I always laughed when they announced Finley as being from 'Belfast, Ireland'.

I'm almost willing to bet that they changed it because of the 'stigma' associated with Jamaicans and their 'lifestyle'

and in case anyone didn't get that, I meant because they smoke pot, and pot is not PG-13 :roll:

"Haiti" sounds too much like "Hades" and we don't want people thinking he's Greek.

Sarkodie-Mensah was born in Ghana before his family moved to the United States in 1982. Coming from a family of intellectuals from near Kumasi in Ghana, he was expected to become a teacher like his grandfather.[7] He was a standout wrestler at Winchester High School in Massachusetts and enrolled at Boston College.[8]
i doubt he has even been to jamaica
He stopped smoking pot, started doing hard drugs and got AIDS.

I remember reading a news bit how Kofi's family where very upset with him being hailed from Jamaica and not his real home of Ghana. So maybe that had something to do with it.
Random thought: WWE should give Kofi a ruthless slum lord style gimmick whenever he turns heel. Make him the guy that everyone goes to to get something they need, but can't get ahold of themselves. Which he does, but he must be paid for it, or forces the superstar in need to do something for him. Then if they don't pay, he chops off limbs.

Pretty hilarious how they were calling him the first Jamaican superstar.

I'm sure Taker's family is upset with him being billed from Death Valley and not Texas.

They aren't billing Kofi as someone that relocated to Ghana, for the record. He is being touted as African-born, but he spent a lot of his time in Jamaica. It's a way of not completely retconning the Jamaica stuff.
To be honest, I feel that it is so Kofi doesn't become completely tied-down by the fun-loving, Jamaican charatcer. He's developed a bit more of a meanstreak recently, and not he doesn't need to put a voice on during his promos.

Yeah. Both in real life and now in storylines. Jamaica was where he went for holidays. Yeah, don't think about it too much.

Taker wouldn't have been the first WWE superstar from Texas. Kofi however would be the first WWE Superstar from Ghana. I can see why his family could've been upset.

Just watched this, and I gotta say, I think King and Cole both do an alright job overall, but when they were saying "He's from Ghana, but he loves that Jamaican lifestyle," I was like, "Oh, come on, tell me another one". It just reeks of bullshit.
I hear they are going to begin announcing Santino Marella as a Canadian from now on as well. :shifty:

Recently there was a thread talking about how Kofi Kingston never seems like he could play a heel character. I don't know why, but as soon as I heard him announced from Ghana after previously knocking down The Miz during an interview earlier in the week, I could just see him being given an angry black man gimmick.

'Angry black man' hardly sounds like a gimmick.
thedamndest
10-05-2009, 02:06 PM
Wikipedia makes Ghana sound like a pretty decent place. I don't know how angry he could be. Maybe because he has a trunk full of Kofi Kingston shirts with the Jamaican flag on them?

Which, as soon as there's another London-type event, will cause him to be de-pushed then quietly released.

By "released", you mean he'll be told to go to FCW and decide he's too good for that because he doesn't understand the procedure or care about the business so he'll just walk away in breech of contract and pursue a nonexistent career in acting? No way.
Also, an angle where he gets pissed that he was billed as a Jamaican instead of a proud...I guess, "Ghanan"...could be interesting.

Kofi needs to start dressing like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America to make this work.
