It’s a new year yes it is. Like so many other fields, wrestling has a fair share of different levels of performers. Some people are main eventers, some people are midcarders, some people make others look good, and some people are able to do all of them. That’s a rare breed, but Kofi Kingston fits the mold. WWE agrees, and that’s worthy of a career flashback.
Leave the memories alone.
In honor of his 36th birthday, WWE has posted a video looking at the five greatest moments of Kofi Kingston’s career. The majority of these moments are from Kingston’s singles career with only one of them being from his time as part of the New Day. Kingston made his main roster debut in 2009 and has won fourteen championships over the course of his career, with seven singles and seven tag team titles.
Opinion: I know a lot of fans think of New Day but Kingston had a heck of a singles career. Were it not for the mess with Randy Orton in 2009, there was almost no reason that he wouldn’t become World Champion at some point. I really hope that he gets there someday and with the two titles, it would be a lot stronger of a possibility. There’s some great stuff back in the day and Kingston is an instant Hall of Famer with an incredible career.
