Kofimania takes over WrestleMania 35 | Bryan & Vinny Show

[@omegaman6494]

Vince is an asshole, and Kofi's title run proved this was all done against Vince's will.

[@Psycho5275]

WWE did the right thing in catching lightning in a bottle, but clearly didn't have any plans on what to do with Kofi after mania

[@cobrakaiisback4709]

Kofimania should have lead to an Xavier or bige heel turn and cash in with a mitb

[@erick_solar]

That's WWE in a nutshell.

[@hevykevy316]

That's an issue they've had for years and years. The babyface's story peaks at mania where they win the belt, but there's no follow up.

[@pok3rfacReturns]

@@hevykevy316It’s where a lot of stories peak. Think of relationships in tv shows. It’s the chase and the build up that catches fire but when they get together it gets so boring.

And then Cain Velasquez appeared

[@jamesmiller5331]

It had to come to an end at some point. The fact that he was able to hold on through SummerSlam it's a testament to how much they respect the guy. I just can't believe that a roomful of super smart wrestling guys thought that bringing in Cain Velasquez was going to be an appropriate ending to that first SmackDown on Fox🤦‍♂️ Not to mention that the exact same thing could have been accomplished letting Kofi have a good match with Brock before taking the pin.

​@@jamesmiller5331"super smart wrestling guys"

[@jamesmiller5331]

@Coolquip43 oh right... guys like Paul Heyman Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, Michael Hayes, and Paul Levesque are a couple of rungs down the ladder on wrestling knowledge in comparison to Heroes like Dave Meltzer and Autistic Tony Khan. Oh and you of course. Everyone knows it takes a genius to be a contrarian🙄

[@jamesmiller5331]

@ogjohnnydeath you're mad 🤔 Ok ok... Kofi should have had a 10-year run with the belt and went over on Lesner. That give you a warm and fuzzy? If you think my point is to put over Cain Velasquez then maybe you are illiterate 🤷‍♂️ after reading your reply I'm leaning toward that.

[@martaviouspaul7117]

One of the greatest moments in wwe and wrestlemania history until they ruined it and gave the fans a huge middle finger having him squashed to Brock to promote him vs Cain and that match was absolutely terrible then Cain got released

[@jamesmiller5331]

I mean that was obviously a misstep and they could have got to the same place they were going by having coffee have a good match with Brock but trophy had a 6-month run with the championship and even got through SummerSlam with it. It kind of proves the idea that wrestling fans are never going to be happy about anything when you say that this moment was ruined because of something that happened to half a year later. Was Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania 30 moment ruined because of his neck and head issues a couple of months later? You can never take it away from him. Or them.

[@phoenixmodellingphotography]

​@@jamesmiller5331Literally any time anyone dares to merely point out something that makes no sense, or in this case renders the entire world championship storyline for the last year completely pointless and erased like fans wasted their time even watching, there's always some braindead dunce ready to point and have a big ol whine about people never being happy. No, it's people like you are never happy because you're seriously so desperate to complain about other people that you resort to using any sign of critical thought as a greenlight to have your copy/paste rant about how "wrestling fans are never happy". It's remarkably easy to make wrestling fans happy, tell a consistent story that makes sense and has payoffs regularly enough to reward the viewer for actually getting invested instead of punishing them for it. Don't get mad at other people for having a brain bro

[@jamesmiller5331]

@phoenixmodellingphotography well you're wrong. I preach having logic in wrestling and this whole Cody / The Rock thing is a great example where all of these weirdo casuals have come out of the woodwork and would have been perfectly fine I guess with the Royal Rumble just being completely ignored just so they can insert their man crush into the main event inexplicably. That right there is ignoring logic and shitting on the fans that have been watching for the last year. Kofi Kingston having a 6-month run with the belt and then losing is not anywhere near the same category. It was poor bucking, it was a poor choice to be sure, but it doesn't take away the 6-month run Kofi had. Nothing can. But instead of focusing on the 6 months he had, a 6-month run that no one would have ever guessed that he was going to get and being happy with that everyone wants to point to how he lost it and act like that washes the whole thing out. Maybe it does to you and I guess you're entitled to that opinion but I don't look at Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania 30 moment being canceled out by getting hurt by Seamus 2 months later. And it's true, you can't make the wrestling crowd happy. You watch, Cody could win the championship at 40 ending the show in celebration and I give it 60 days before the audience turns on him.

[@jamesmiller5331]

@phoenixmodellingphotography I didn't mean to start that with "you're wrong" that's not a productive way to have a conversation but I'm more mad that your perception of me is off.

[@phoenixmodellingphotography]

@@jamesmiller5331 @jamesmiller5331 @jamesmiller5331 Alright that's fair enough mate, you're right I did perceive you the wrong way initially because I assumed you were just another one of the many "Whatever people are enjoying, I am against" online recreational contrarian with no ability to form their own opinion or think critically about anything based off something other than their emotions. I give people the benefit of doubt in most situations but I guess I have PTSD from all the braindead takes I've been forced to read about this from countless mentally challenged people No.1 It did erase the entire year that was spent building Koft up to be the one to escape from perpetual midcard pergatory and finally achieve his dream of breaking through and becoming a main event guy. It was the ultimate Vince McMahon rugpull "Haha sorry pal, back down to the midcard for you!" But at least have Kofi put up a worthy fight by having a competitive match with him before losing the belt 2. What reasons are there to make you believe the fans will turn on Cody all of a sudden? Without mentioning AEW because they're mostly a different audience

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It Bryan Alvarez And Dave Meltzer F4WOnline Guys.

[@infinite-sadness]

Way more people will remember a big moment over a really good match

[@azapro911]

The way Kingston got jobbed out to Lesnar remains the most unnecessary, obnoxious and tone deaf piece of booking I have ever seen, six months of top challengers were buried along with the champion, all for a Saudi match with a UFC guy who was as out of his element in wrestling as CM Punk was in the octagon.

[@Tzgrey77]

Same with Big E

[@kmew94]

Bryan and Kofi did absolutely nothing in the match but the thing was they didn’t need to. I was there live and the fans just wanted to see Kofi win. We were there for that moment and it blew all the energy out of the building. What they did didn’t matter. The feeling they created with Kofi was all they needed

[@TMPS93]

I remember going through such a rough time in my personal life in 2019. My ex cheated on me, took most of my money and half of my stuff when she moved out. I was depressed. I remember just watching this match live, and hoping Kofi would win. In storyline he was beaten down at every turn, which was just something I could relate to. When he won, tears. It's why Cody needs to finish his story, and it's why all wrestling promotions need these great character arcs, it takes us away from the BS that happens in the real world and creates memories.

[@jamesmiller5331]

Hey man some people want another fast and furious sequel at Wrestlemania 40 lol

[@Tzgrey77]

That was me when hangman won the title

[@TMPS93]

​@@Tzgrey77 I have seen 5 separate AEW PPVs at Cinemark theatres. Hangman winning the title is the only time in any of the shows the audience outright cheered, shouted and gave a standing ovation. And that includes when Punk won the title the first time.

[@JenMistress]

Yeah, the Hemp Belt, I think Matt Riddle and RVD smoked it afterwards, I'm not sure. 😉😂🤣 Also, I will agree, even though it is far from perfect, when I was watching Royal Rumble, the production did feel like an upgrade, probably because no Kevin Dunn screwing stuff up.

@JoshPecksDad Dude, I’m not about 2 list off every piece of wrestling merch I’ve bought over the years…Danielson has been 1 of my favorite wrestlers for years & this version of him is one my my personal favorites…Nothing more, nothing less🤷🏾‍♂️ The fact that you feel the need to question MY personal choice of a favorite wrestlers gimmick of mine, question what I’ve bought, saying I’m clout chasing over a KZbin comment makes you look foolish…Do yourself a favor & stop with the nonsense you’re in no type of position to question someone’s personal choices maybe if you focused more on your own personal stuff you wouldn’t have so much free time on your hands to ridicule people you’ll never meet in life through KZbin comments🤙🏾

Kofi's run deserved better. The ending can very much be said the same.

Aew should have put the strap on Danielson at least by the second match with hangman page. I am all for trying to make new guys so I can't argue very hard with keeping it on hangman like they did but Danielson is so fucking legit.

[@MrJonnyl123]

Kofi and Bryan were way too small to be wrestling the wwe championship

[@Simouno]

One of the worst booking mistakes ever. Daniel Bryan should have won to solidify himself as the biggest heel in the company, since he was having the best run of his career in WWE with the vegan extremist gimmick. Instead they LiStENEd To ThE fAnS!1!1!1!1 and completely squandered the momentum of their best worker in the world to give us a useless title run ended in 9 seconds by Lesnar. Ineptitude all over the place
