Kofi Kingston can become the next Game
Listen, before I get flamed to hell for this statement, hear me out. I've kind of been thinking this for a while, but haven't been intoxicated enough to post this until now. I know they've done the whole corporate suit and tie routine before with guys, but I really believe that Kofi can be the new Game, similar to what happen to Triple H around 2000. I think he has a lot of the traits of a ME guy. Good ring work, decent mic work, charisma and a decent look. If they take Kofi off TV for say 4-6 months and have him put on some weight and cut his dreads off I really think he could be a star. I haven't really thought exactly how they would go about this other than having maybe R-Truth come up and talk to him about re gaining the tag belts, because they were obviously tag team champs before. Have Truth lose the mathces against Hell No with Kofi finally showing some disgust for the losses. Eventually Kofi turns on Truth beating him in a series of matches and finally cutting promos about how he's been held down and the fans don't really care about him and blah blah blah. They could maybe even work in something with Triple H, after the Lesnar fued obviously, where H sees Kofi as a sort of protege similar to what they did with Orton. Where Triple H is trying to find guys to lead the company in to the next decade, I don't know. I see a talent like Kofi getting wasted so I start thinking about ways to use him and this idea has been floating in my head for a while.

I 100% agree with you. I'm a big Kofi mark. Right now though, he's boring and he does need something to liven him up. If he was given more of an opportunity to hone his promo skills, and given the right, interesting, program, I believe he could be a main eventer.

But thats just my opinion.

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.

Honestly I think Kofi's money is as a heel right now. I'm serious when I say take him off of tv for a while and have him put on some weight. If they go 4-6 months there's no reason he can't gain at leat 15 pounds naturally. If they don't mind a little help than he could easily gain around 20. Imagine Kofi returning at around 240, with his dreads cut and more serious ring gear. With his ring work and charisma he could be a star.

I guess a heel turn would help freshen him up, but there's like a dozen guys I'd prefer to see get that push rather than Kofi.

Kofi isn't bland so much as he hasn't had much to work with. Whenever they give him a chance to have an actual storyline, he's great. Problem is that has only been like 3 times during his whole WWE career. For 97% of his WWE career, he has been "Vanilla Babyface High Flyer Cool Guy". When the bulk of your character development is the color of your tights and the type of high fives you do, you won't set the world on fire.

You are exaggerating quite a good bit. He does jump a lot, but that ties into the whole explosive/high flyer gimmick they have him in.

Kofi has been stale for a few years now, definitely needs a reinvention of sorts if he's to ever rise above the midcard scene. Unfortunately, it appears that they're setting up a "feud" between him and Antonio Cesaro, based on his win over him on Smackdown.

He should cut off his predator hair, gain 86.54lbs, and wear a mask His name should be Section 8. Then he should accuse McMahon of smoking crack and accuse Jerry Lawler of raping a 13 year old. His finishing move will be a leg drop off the top rope called "the chocolate drop". He'd be over like rover!

Kofi might make a decent midcard heel but he's never shown anything that even hints he should be an ultra main event dominant world champion. Even for Kingston thats a bit of a leap.

Disagree at him becoming or even having the chance to become the next "Game" type character although a heel turn would freshen up his character a lot. Either that or just tweak his character to be more like what it was against Orton years ago.

The WWE's problem with faces is a lot of them are pretty bland or are Cena-lite in style. Very few of them have any actual personality or something unique to their characters.

He will never be a legitimate long-term main eventer main eventer, but he easily be a upper midcarder who can be thrown into main events occasionally. Hell, he was that at one point and he's fallen into basic obscurity because his character is so fucking bland.

This

As for the next "Game", only guy I see who could pull it off right now is Sheamus. Cut the Irish Cena crap and bring back the Badass Celtic Warrior that challenged Mark Henry when no one else would. Sheamus is money they just need to utilize him right.

In this moment I agree, badass Celtic Warrior Shaemus is really the only one who could pull of the next "Game" status.

Given some time, possibly Ziggler if they don't book him into obscurity, and eventually I think Sandow could get to that point, assuming they don't Drew McIntyre him.

Eh, I can't see Sandow ever working in that sort of gimmick. The guy is just too... "slimy". As for Ziggy he's more of a Chris Jericho type.

The people saying Kofi can't are probably the same people who would've said Hulk Hogan in '82 wouldn't "fit" or didn't have it. Just try it and see where it goes. NO ONE thought that The Rock would turn out the way he did when he was the babyface back in '96, or Stone Cold when he was the Ringmaster.

Im not saying anyone can be a main eventer, but he (Kofi) may be a diamond in the rough.

I don't think the point of this thread was to say whether or not Kofi could or should be a main event guy, I think it was saying he could be the next HHH. At least that's how I read it, and the answer to that is no. Kofi could probably make it in the main event or at least as an upper mid-carder, but he just doesn't have the "it factor" to be the next Game.

Imagine Kofi returning at around 240, with his dreads cut and more serious ring gear. With his ring work and charisma he could be a star.
He doesn't have to cut his dreads. Stop saying that.

With or without dreadlocks Kofi is never going to be a full-time main-eventer and they're never going to play him off as a significant heel. He's a good smiling face for the business, a good company guy and very easily likable. If he ever gets to permanent main event status, it will be through some accident of circumstance where he falls into a perfect position and the crowd catches fire over it.

I'll never see Kofi as main event material as he is lacking charisma by a country mile. Hence why he's relegated to little mic time and shouting BOOM BOOM BOOM when he does speak.

I think Kofi has all the tools to be a big star.. he's just missing something? I feel like maybe he's missing some edge to him.

Heath Slater draws more crowd response than Kofi.


Remember how I've said numerous times than not everybody is a mainevent guy and that's not a slap in the face to that wrestler? Kofi is that guy. Stop with this garbage.

Slater is a heat machine, which is why HHH used him to get a reaction. He wrestles at a MOTY pace every night and is one of the top 5 mic guys in the company.
