Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston comentou o episódio de 2010, onde estava em feud com Randy Orton e, durante um combate, este o chamou de estúpido: "Everyone knows Randy kinda has an attitude, so that's Randy being Randy. What everyone doesn't remember is that we were in a heated rivalry so a lot of what you saw was him being his character and him kinda playing to that. I thought it was real funny when I started reading these things like 'Randy Orton doesn't like Kofi', which I think is fine because it added to what we were doing at the time, it made people more interested in what we were doing…it is what it is…."

Com a vitória sobre Damien Sandow no SmackDown da semana passada, Kofi Kingston atingiu a sua centésima vitória na WWE. Na WWE só seis lutadores atingiram esta marca, Jeff Hardy, Kane, Randy Orton, Sheamus, CM Punk e John Cena.

Arda Ocal do theScore Television Network e Baltimore Sun entrevistou o Kofi Kingston. Eis os highlights:....

- Talking about RAW's 20 anniversary episode, how special it will be being a part and how special it was being a part of RAW 1000, and being a fan as a kid watching RAW #1

- How his Jamaican character came about and how he was able to keep the same character through the indies and in WWE, even keeping his legit first name

"I trained up in Boston. At the time, the rumor was, 'if you want to get signed by WWE you have to be a character, they are looking for characters right now.' I didn't really know what that meant at the time, then one of the guys, (ROH referee) Todd Sinclair said to come up with a name and character otherwise I'd get stuck with a silly name.... (story continues in video)"

- The story of how he "lost his Jamaican accent" on RAW

- Addressing the fact that he has only had to title matches on PPV involving the WWE title or World Heavyweight championship - admitting that he wants to be a World champion

- Last year's "Royal Rumble dodge" and how soon before the Rumble he plans a spot like that

- Will Kofi Kingston ever become a heel in WWE?

Kofi Kingston revelou que pediu conselhos a The Rock quando este regressou, questionando sobre como o Brahma Bull alcançou seu sucesso de hoje em dia: "I met him when he first came back last year. He's real cool. He had some advice for me, I had a chance to pick his brain a bit ... I spoke to him about certain things about the business, just general questions about how he got to where he was. Obviously you see a guy like The Rock, you see his success, you want to know exactly - from his mind and his mouth - how he got there, because I want to emulate that. If you don't want the success The Rock has had, then you probably shouldn't be in the WWE."

Kofi posted the following on Twitter about the article…

"Ah, nothing like exaggeration in the media! Tell 'em that you received a piece of career advice, they print you're being mentored! As honored as I would be were that the case, I must say, regrettably, it's untrue!"

Os oficiais da WWE discutem a ideia de Kofi Kingston fazer um heel turn brevemente. A opinião dos oficiais é que Kofi é talentoso mas já falhou de várias formas em ficar over como babyface, dai que se pense que um heel turn poderá ajudar este a fixar-se no público.
