It's clear from listening to the man talk during media appearances that Kofi Kingston is a very well spoken guy. Unfortunately, he has rarely been given the chance to fully show his verbal abilities in WWE. Fleeting opportunities - such as those in 2009 when feuding with Randy Orton - have come Kofi's way on the microphone. Thankfully, things seem to be changing due to his association with The New Day. That group are given much more promo time than Kingston has ever experienced before. As noted on Chris Jericho's podcast during an interview with the team, this is something Kofi is greatly enjoying. Before entering the wrestling business however, Kofi Kingston graduated from Boston College with a degree in Communications. In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, Kingston remarked that his parents were mega-worried when he revealed to them that he planned to switch chasing a career in the industry for pro wrestling. That's understandable, because the wrestling business can be unpredictable, but at least Kofi has something behind him to back him up when he retires from the ring.
