The Legendary honestly as crazy as this will sound, if he'd only killed himself then he'd still get mentioned, it's the fact that he killed his wife and his little son is why his name is tarnished. I still wish one day, somehow they can bring his name back cos he was one of my favourite wrestlers of all time. Tragic.

@Justice Beaver you dont understand the business bro. What you see in the ring resonated what you see behind the scene. Bro you dont get it. Genius why do you think wwe chose kofi? Why do you think the women main event wrestlemania? You dont get it do you

[@anjr9915]

So happy for Kofi, this is revolutionary.

[@YerInMyClip]

I was there that match was the only one everyone was out there seats. When Becky won everyone was ready to go home. She should've got the same reaction as kofi but the crowd was just tired.

Ron Simmons is the first African american heavyweight champion!

Not WWE Champion so it doesn't matter....Kofi made History on the biggest stage in WWE.....

@@teamgreats4084 In the 80's the most prestigious title was the NWA world heavyweight championship so yes thats matter...

[@JeanPauJean]

@@teamgreats4084 In the 80's US wrestling fans consider Ric Flair the real champ and this is why Vince McMahon signs him in the early 90's.

Book, Kingston is Ghanaian-American. He ACTUALLY knows where he is from in Sub Sahara Africa. First black WWE champ suffices.

[@mistadigz7203]

Ask yourself this....: Where is Ghana located? Origin wise? Now, let's acknowledge the fact that he(Kofi) is a American citizen... right? Boom.. now let's use basic logic in the matter... So what do you call a black that's born in Kenya that has been a U.S. citizen 90 percent of their life.. ? Please, stop reaching....

[@johnnybegood7221]

@@mistadigz7203 Hey moron, check this out. Why do you still call cacausians white and not European American?Why do cacausians always state there other half of DNA while blacks don`t? And to ask your question(using logic)he would than be Kenyan-American or technically cacausian since America is not a ethnicity. Boom! Idiot!

[@JonnyAugz]

@@johnnybegood7221 Black is not a nationality or race. It's a color. You should never call yourself black or African American.

[@johnnybegood7221]

@@JonnyAugz I don`t want to disrespectful but i ACTUALLY know that. It`s just the majority of the people on this earth don`t and we use these socially orchestrated words. In this case Kingston by skin color is the first BLACK WWE champion in the history of the company. No if`s and but`s about it.

[@JonnyAugz]

@@johnnybegood7221 He's not black tho. He's more coppoer toned or dark brown. Black has always had a very negative connotation.

Book is a real one. The H loves you man. Stay real

[@jasonrollins4485]

Booker should won against triple h at mania for the belt. That was one my fav mania matches

[@PhenomenalTeach11]

Would Kofi also be the first African WWE champion because he was born in Ghana, Africa?

[@yungprophet1]

Ron Simmons is the first Champion. The Rock is Samoan and black but never really embrace his black side unless promoting. He and WWE push his Samoan heredity. Kofi was born in Ghana but raised in Boston. He's an African American through and through.

[@staticJ7]

Yes. Kofi is the first African born to win the wwe championship. (there haven't been too many guys actually born in Africa that has worked for wwe, I can only think of Adam Rose and Justin Gabriel at the moment.) Kofi is also the first African American to win the wwe championship.

[@thekingomega]

Dawg the rock is still black. He embraces his black side. Just because WWE didn’t highlight it doesn’t mean he doesn’t embrace it.

[@leelohaskin7941]

@SceptileRazorLeaf umm no he isn't, not to take anything from him but it is what it is

[@kylescholes8481]

@SceptileRazorLeaf the rock ain't black ffs

[@NGDemonSlayer12]

I agree with Booker about what Graham said being ridiculous, but his health complications are more due to Hepatitis C than steroids.

[@schilachi1978]

Matt Newman no it ain't it's due to chriosis of the liver due to steriods.

[@cedrickphillips5248]

Booker T was one of the best..he won every belt it was to win

[@THECLARENCES]

WrestleMania 35 had all the right bookings. Every wrestler that the fans wanted to win, won! Awesome!!! xoxo The Clarences
