Today, Kofi Kingston is a WWE stalwart. He appears on pretty much every TV broadcast, and is a house show regular. as part of 'The New Day', the man seems content in the mid-card tag-team scene, which is fine. However, Kingston once promised so much more than WWE has allowed him to offer. In 2009, Kofi had shed his previous Jamaica characteristics used since his debut the previous year. Transitioning into a feud with Randy Orton, the real-life Ghanaian was given ample time to cut promos and get himself over with the audience. It worked, because Kingston became a hot topic in WWE. Suddenly, it seemed the company had a new star on their hands, but the writing staff the inexplicably pulled out at the last minute. There was rumoured heat between Orton and Kofi over the latter's in-ring abilities. Further to that, WWE noticeably cooled interest in pushing the man pretty quickly. It was confusing, why didn't they pull the trigger and at least try to catapult Kingston into the main event mix for good? He was over with fans, a good worker, and proved he could talk.
