Kofi seems to reach out towards children but is that gonna do it alone? Cena reaches out towards children but at the same time he reaches out to 'patriot' Americans, probably other demographics as well.
I don't think Kofi is legit enough to carry the black vote.
If he ever was to hold the title I think it would be something closer to Wade Barret or Jack Swaggers rein and nothing long term or permanent because his character, currently, is not there and can not sustain the company.
Can you see Kofi Kingston main eventing Wrestlemania?
As the Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Nash and Austin say; it is all about who draws the money and fills the seats. Can you see Kofi fulfilling that role? Also, compare Kofi to any of the legends mentioned above. It seems as if the only one that bears similarities is the Rock, due to the pop pop move. Magnitude anyone?

Where do you get this "only kids like Kofi" thing? More adults pop for his wins and entrance than children. You cant assume that "only kids like him" because he's a "Happy go lucky" face.
How does Kofi reach out towards children? Was it a promo or something? Maybe I missed it. Or is this your assumption that only kids like him which is grossly inaccurate? It really isn't so much about the "black" vote, thats just an addendum; the fact is, he's STILL over and his character hasn't had much tweaking in a LONG time. When I saw MSG's reaction to him putting Orton through that table, THAT is when I knew, yes, he could be world champ one day. To say theres "no chance" is asinine.
Barretts reign? wut.
Of course I can't see him doing it RIGHT THIS SECOND, but the point isn't "Could it happen right now?!?!" the point is what are his chances of it ever happening. You said no chance, I said, for the aforementioned reasons, I think thats an inaccurate statement. And are you seriously comparing the Rock the multi time champ and Kofi right now, just because of their "pop pop move?" lol Could I see Kofi filling that void? Putting asses in the seats? Of course. With the right storyline, proper mic time, and an adequate build, I already saw what he did with Orton and I saw how massively over he was during that time period....so yeah, I can see him drawing.
But you, emphatically, said "No chance" so are you backpeddling now?
