It wasn't just Kofi's colleagues reaching for the hankies as they celebrated his incredible feel-good victory over Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. The documentary demonstrated just what Kingston's historic triumph meant, as we saw fans all across the world sent into raptures the moment he recorded the 1-2-3 over Daniel Bryan.

Shortly after the show, Kofi's mother sent him footage of his uncle and friends going absolutely wild back in his homeland as he became the first African-born WWE champion in history. We also saw a few familiar faces revelling in the moment; ringside at 'Mania, JTG let out an immense cheer, whilst the emotion was all too much for former tag partner Shad Gaspard and ex-WWE man MVP, who shed tears of joy at the moment. This is what wrestling can mean at its very best.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
