Speculate the Relocation (Kofi Kingston)

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!!!

Kofi Kingston is the newest member of the embassy.

Kofi Kingston, what do you know about shrimp cocktail?

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:

Why the fuck to west africa though? why not just Haiti?

They're just keeping you on your toes.

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

:shifty:

i doubt he has even been to jamaica

He stopped smoking pot, started doing hard drugs and got AIDS.

Hahahaha, Cryme Tyme? Ghanian Boyz n the Hood?

Also... John Cena from Compton. Paaaaaaaaaaaaaah-lease.

Needs to be renamed Kofi Accra.

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.

this is probably to prevent Kofi from taking time off to join the Jamaican bobsled team...feel the rythm! feel the rhyme! get ready to go! its wrestling time!

I'd mark out it Kofi were the newest member of the Embassy.

I always loved the Embassy Nana is the man.

And I love you too Barak Allah-bama.

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.

Isn't he from Ghana?

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.

He caught Ghana-rea.

If he gets to the main event he will suddenly be from Miami, Florida.

Compton!

Straight outta Compton. A bad ass nigga named Kofi.

Crazy motherfucker named Kofi sounds better, don't you think?

It does.

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.

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?

Setting up the future Terrorist Gimmick.

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.
