Every now and again, a story falls into Vince McMahon's lap that is simply too glorious for even the ageing merchant of toilet humour to c*ck up.

Highlighting just how versatile and damn talented The American Dragon is and always has been, the then-Daniel Bryan went from spear-heading the YES! Movement at 'Mania XXX to acting as the deliciously despicable foil during Kofi Kingston's long-awaited climb to the top in the lead-up to the 35th Show of Shows.

The Planet's Champion, equipped with sustainable WWE title, would not go down without a fight as The New Day man failed time and time again to overcome the maniacal eco-friendly champ inside of the Elimination Chamber and as part of unfairly stacked-gauntlets.

Mr. McMahon's placing of increasingly difficult hoops for Kofi to leap through only made his eventual coronation taste that bit sweeter as KofiMania provided fans with a feel good, fairytale ending only made possible when two of the finest workers of their generation, a story laced with legitimate struggle, and the very real support of those watching on all meet on the biggest night on the wrestling calendar.
