His spots he does in battle royals are cool, but it's about the only time I enjoy him. Like I said though, this is just purely MY opinion, and I don't expect everybody to agree with me, nor do I have issues with anybody who does like him.

to Shadrick on this.
I
like Kofi, and I agree with Tazz Dan here because he has nothing to do. He's most comparable to Jeff Hardy. He was great at the next TLC spotfest where he would fall off the next even taller ladder, but other than that, he was pretty useless outside of getting the "take my shirt off so the 13 year old girls can scream" pop. Then he started getting shit to do. Time to promo. Time to interact. He got pushed. He got feuds. It made people care.
And Jeff's ladder stunts are much like Kofi's battle royal anti-elimination spots... but the day-in day-out purposeless "throw a bunch of spots in a match, then job" Kofi is boring. It works for RVD right now because RVD is a vet who basically comes back to help get younger guys over.
I still maintain that Dolph and Kofi should have been a PPV headlining feud by now, had WWE taken the time and effort to build both guys, instead of letting Ziggles hit the "concussion ceiling" and have Kingston fuck off somewhere down the card doing random shit.
He's a guy who would benefit from a character tweak. Not just a knee-jerk "heel turn", though that would be interesting to see if handled well and not shoehorned in without reason. This is why I also say I'd like to see Kofi become Sting's successor (crow or surfer- both could work, but preferably surfer): he can keep flying, but adopt a little more ground, add the SDD and the SDL into his arsenal, and give him a breath of fresh air instead of throwing him into yet another tag team then doing nothing with him.
Once again, on topic:
*** Eva Marie has been released from her WWE contract. We wish her the best in her future endeavors. We just hope those endeavors don't include wrestling.
*** Due to a clerical error, JTG is actually still employed by WWE. We apologize to JTG in such a gross clerical oversight. Continue the clock.
*** A tag team will stay a tag team in perpetuity, and will never doublecross one another for a singles run ever.
*** Heels beat down a face 2 on 1 in the ring. The lights go out.... then the lights come back on, and there is no surprise whatsoever. An announcement is made that it was just a temporary power outage.
*** Someone issues an open challenge to anyone
anywhere in a manner that suggests that someone from another fed or UFC will accept their challenge. An actual person still under contract from that fed unexpectedly appears... Taz(z) vs. Awesome not withstanding... you know what, that counts, so nevermind.
*** Jim Ross screams "BAH GAWD!!! DON'T DO IT!!! THAT MAN'S GOT A FAMILY, DAMMIT!!!" and the wrestler rethinks his attack on his opponent due to JR's compelling argument.
