No one with any operating sense of realism could ever call Kofi Kingston 'small' or in poor shape, but compared to some of the muscle-bound goliaths who continue to litter pro-wrestling, he's relatively slight, better known for his proficiency rather than physique.

This wasn't always the case. Photos shared during the documentary of the young Kofi reveal that, at one point, Kofi was positively ripped. Around the time of his Tough Enough audition, the budding grappler had a body to die for, with massive, refined guns and abs that'd make even Finn Bálor jealous. Phwoar.

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.
