10 Things We Learned From Kofi Kingston On Edge & Christian’s Podcast

2. His Trust Fall Spot Comes From Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Gamers will get a thrill out of this one.

That 'Trust Fall' spot Kingston works into most of his matches has two purposes. Firstly, it's different from the usual flip dives other wrestlers perform. Secondly, it lets him incorporate his love of video games into his repertoire. He thought of it when he played some of the old Tony Hawk's Pro Skater titles.

In the middle of a combo that'd make the 'Birdman' himself weep, Kofi mashed some buttons and his skater performed a 'Christ Air'. It's basically a crucifix pose, and it's one of the game's most flashy moves despite its simplicity. That's something Kingston wanted to put across when he used it in WWE.

The pose is daredevil at heart, and it'd make for a painful landing if his peers failed to catch him. Kofi loved it, mainly 'cause he only has to jump high into the air backwards and let those at ringside catching him do the rest. Next stop: a Kickflip McTwist.
