Around a decade later, Kofi was shopping in a local mall when he spotted Christian coming out of a Diesel store. Having just made his ECW debut around six months earlier and knowing Christian had finished up with TNA, Kingston wanted to touch base, say hello and ask one question.

Would Christian be coming back to WWE?

This is something Kofi cringes about now. As a WWE worker, he thinks he should've known better than to approach another wrestler and ask them something so goofy. It was like he was a fan. To his credit, Christian just said he wasn't sure, but that he enjoyed Kingston's Jamaican babyface character on TV.

A few awkward minutes later, they went their separate ways and Kofi thought he'd been too much of a mark in front of an established performer. Christian didn't see things that way. He could tell he'd get along with Kingston if given the chance.
