10 WWE Superstars Who'd Be Better Off In The Indies (Or Overseas)

9. Kofi Kingston

Let's all remember that Kofi Kingston was a surefire main eventer until that one time that he legdropped Randy Orton through a table and almost injured him. The progressive futures of WWE stars are actually made in moments and instants instead of years and careers. Thus, it may be time to ship Kofi Kingston far, far away from WWE, then bring him back renewed, refreshed and free from any stigmas he may have had as a performer. WWE would be geniuses if they figured out a way to loan Kingston (and stars like him...meaning quite over, but not in any way expected to be a main event player anytime soon) to a company doing overseas tours to places that almost never see pro wrestling (either from WWE or Impact Wrestling). Imagine say, Kofi Kingston vs. Curtis Axel in a competitive 30-minute main event in Pakistan, Brazil, New Zealand or Egypt. It globalizes WWE's brand, extends their marketing footprint and also does well insofar as making the company look like good corporate citizens in an industry in which they could feasibly have an unfair monopoly.
