What a career Kofi Kingston has had. The former Jamaican is one of the few members of WWE’s current roster that makes a legitimate claim for a future Hall of Fame spot, with a slew of records and iconic moments already behind him. Kingston has largely competed in the tag team ranks over the last few years, but his 2019 WWE Championship win will forever rank as his career highlight.

Kingston has been more successful than most when it comes to championships, but he remains in second place on the list of individual tag team title reigns. Edge tops that list with 12, although that should really come with a caveat, such was the hot potato nature of the Attitude Era. His first seven reigns (all with Christian) came within the space of a year, the longest of which lasted just 91 days. His other five reigns were with a variety of partners but none of them were as long as that 91-day tenure. Edge is the most decorated tag team wrestler in WWE history, but the record book doesn’t tell the whole story.

Kingston is right behind the Rated-R Superstar with 11 reigns. He too has had a variety of partners, winning gold with CM Punk, Evan Bourne and R-Truth before settling into tag team magic with Xavier Woods and Big E. as New Day. The modern era isn’t exactly a time of long title reigns, and there is every possibility that New Day will lose and regain the titles a couple of times before the year is up.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
