10 Most Extreme WWE Risk Takers This Century

6. Kofi Kingston

Ever since he made his debut with the WWE back in 2008, you instantly got the impression that Kofi Kingston was a guy who was born to fly. And in many ways similar to John Morrison earlier on in this list, he's developed a reputation for his risk taking, as opposed to the success he's had. It could have been totally different for Kingston though, if you think back to one of his early feuds with Randy Orton. They pushed each other to the limit on several occasions throughout that feud, and it looked like a rivalry that could have been world title material. Their match in Madison Square Garden where they battled all throughout the arena featured some incredible angles, including Kingston entertaining the crowd with some real leaps of faith.
And of course, he's making a living these days out of incredible Royal Rumble risk taking moments. His handstand walk around the ring was more entertaining than extreme, but Kingston always has something in the locker that can wow the crowd, you feel. That's why he's a regular in Money in the Bank matches, folks. And he no doubt will do until the day he leaves the WWE.
