10 WWE Superstars Who Are Totally Underutilised

3. Kofi Kingston

wikipediawikipediaKofi Kingston is a damned fine piece of talent. He has a great look, bags of personality and a moveset tailor made for WWE€™s current product. In interviews (and in the ring) Kingston has shown himself to be generous, self-effacing and refreshingly free of ego. In short, he has everything he needs to be a star. Instead, he languishes in the mid-card whilst other, often less deserving, stars are pushed to the stratosphere. He was a featured performer of the €˜Andre The Giant Battle Royale€™ at WrestleMania, sure, but (like Rey Mysterio) he was also jobbed out to €˜Bad News€™ Barrett in another quick match, was decimated by Randy Orton earlier in the year and, most recently, was bulldozed in a squash match to Rusev. Pretty soon, the name Kofi Kingston will become a synonym for squandered potential, which is a genuine shame.

I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction. I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long! If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it). I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work. Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that! Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?) Latcho Drom, - CQ
