I love Kofi and I also think that he has the tools. The guy is just missing one small piece of the puzzle. Maybe Paul Heyman or someone knows exactly what it is. For some reason something just doesn't click. It was there in his feud with Randy Orton and it was even there when he was working with The Miz. When he gets angry the guy seems like he could be World Champion material. When he's all happy, he just doesn't seem to work though. I mean, he's fine as a mid-carder, but if you want to get Kofi to that next level, I think he should be more serious.
It seems he is moving towards a US Title feud with Antonio Cesaro. I really don't think Kofi should be the guy to unseat Cesaro, so maybe have him lose a Ladder Match or something to Cesaro at Extreme Rules. It would get Cesaro some attention and it could be a Match of the Year candidate. Then have Kofi move into a personal feud with someone. Maybe even someone like Jack Swagger, who could be a heat machine but just doesn't have a suitable opponent right now. Kofi could beat Swagger a few times and then position himself for a Money in the Bank Ladder Match spot, where he actually wouldn't be a bad choice to snatch one of the briefcases.
But where to then? Maybe Kofi could actually turn heel when cashing it in and play an entitled heel who is sick of being a smiley guy and just wants glory? Maybe he can challenge for the title honorably and lose to a heel champion. Dolph Ziggler would be perfect for this. He could taunt and taunt Kofi and Kingston could snap and become that ass-kicker from the Orton feud.
