10 WWE Moves That NEVER Win Matches

2. S.O.S (Kofi Kingston)

Here it is - the second New Day transitional spot that only ever gets near falls.

In truth, Kofi Kingston never had much success with his 'S.O.S' as a singles star either. That lack of a meaningful victory using this leg sweep hasn't stopped Kofi from acting like he's just seen a ghost whenever rivals power out. Why the shock? When has this ever worked, Mr. Kingston?

Of course, wrestlers do need some backup weapons to try and sell fans on the idea of near falls, but Kofi should really think about moving on from this one. Someone needs to put together an epic YouTube video of every two count the 'S.O.S' has garnered since 2008. It'd probably last hours, and show up the move for what it is: Kingston's guaranteed near fall.
