I actually still have his shirt he threw to me at a live WWE event. Kofi is awesome.

[@MrFree2BeMe1]

Dang man! i would probably cry like a baby if Kofi pulls this off! i just hope Vince doesn't screw this up, because this man has most of the WWE universe pulling for him, for me and a lot of others THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT! S.O.S BABY!

[@sirtavion20]

If they have him lose I'll be officially DONE with WWE. We haven't had anyone like this in a long time. This is organic like they said.

[@MrFree2BeMe1]

@@sirtavion20 I'm right with you! all we have is the WWE Network, i use to collect the figures and tune in and go to some of their live events, but we stop doing all of that because the product was getting so boring! but lately they have been doing a little better, and i guess that's because of AEW on the rise, but if Kofi loses there's nothing left for me anymore. i just have this bad feeling Vince won't let it happen.

[@joshuasalazar5106]

I'm going to cry too if he wins because he has been grinding for literally 11 years

[@sirtavion20]

@@MrFree2BeMe1 I agree completely. I'm over em. After they botched Shinsuke I knew they were going down. All this talent and terrible booking. Bringing Bruce Pritchard back can't save them. I too have an ill feeling Vince might still not let it happen and he's gonna lose a looooot of viewers. At some point the hero has to win. Dream scenario.. he wins and Big E turns heel on him lol

[@sirtavion20]

@@joshuasalazar5106 thy hats a very long time in any industry! He deserves this moment!

[@BluisRaw02]

If Kofi doesn't win I will cry. If Kofi does win I will cry.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

If Kofi doesn't win, I stone-faced quit angrily. If Kofi wins, I cry happily, then close the book on my WWE fandom on a high note (before they tear it back down with more regressive stuff).

[@lamontking87]

BluisRaw02 if he wins I’m definitely gone drop tears if he lose I will be so pissed upset I will turn and I’m done with wwe

[@LowKeyDee1620]

I’m not crying your crying 😢

[@tcmankave6483]

That's what I say

[@lamontking87]

I will cry if Kofi gets the 3 count become your new wwe champion kofiiiii Kingston 🏆🥇

[@glst1974]

I did man. You not alone.

[@ZandeKongo]

I need to hear that SOS theme on Sunday.

[@lamontking87]

TheoKabala89 I swear I do I been said this

[@thegroundzerohiphopwrestling]

Kofi holding that title at mania will be the biggest moment in wrestlemania since austin 3:16

[@jasmineseufatu7603]

The title is an eco friendly belt though.

[@jeffnero318]

Jasmine Seufatu if Kofi wins, they better change the title back to leather/ black and gold.

[@MajorG13]

I’d say since Benoit won the heavyweight 😏😏

[@leebrennan5790]

I would say since Daniel Bryan won and beat all the odds as the underdog at Mania 30, but I get what you're saying. It's gonna be huge

[@yungotcha]

OG giving kofi game i love it ! i wish booker would be there by his side for the match that would be so dope ..

[@k-black2385]

Booker T and Kofi Kingston two helluva wrestlers.......

[@Shalach2012]

As a black man and as a man pushing for my dreams this is the most encouraging podcast I've ever heard.

[@JediNicoConnors]

Let's go kofi #Kofimania . I want to see Kofi have a fun and awesome WWE Championship reign. I want to see him as a fighting champion having matches with guys such as AJ Styles,Kevin Owens,Mustafa Ali,Randy Orton,Rey Mysterio,R-Truth,Samoa Joe,Ricochet and etc...

[@MrFresco702]

2 Black kings. I will def cry if kofi wins

[@unchainamv2912]

Belts are props kofi sees this as entertaining fans

[@GoldieVoerman]

AC-Straight /AMV But Holding a Championship Title gets you more pay which helps your family gets you more visibility on things outside the wwe which again gets you more pay and it helps with the perception of you as not only as The Man But It just makes you seem more important really so it’s not just a prop....

[@SirMyaTheBee]

Titles def give you more money...Simple marketing would tell you that. Fake or not it's life changing.

[@unchainamv2912]

Goldie Voerman merch dose that

[@mathew6211]

Kofi-Mania!!!

[@tommy2chips]

Great interview. I am going to share this

Awesome interview mane

#BelieveInKofi🦄🥞

[@jorgeestrada7764]

This is like the Punk/RVD run to me both title runs in two of the toughest city and crowds and both said if he wins we riot!!! it better be like that tonight Kofi deserves this opportunity

[@mrshurman2559]

KOFI MANIA RUNNING WILD!

[@cuhinpete219]

I hope he’s booked good afterwards if he wins I don’t want this reign to be like Jinders

[@NinjaFingers19]

It won’t if the crowd stays with him

[@jeffnero318]

Jinder had a decent reign. He defeated Orton multiple times as well as Nakamura. Wwe just turned him back in to a jobber once he lost the championship. Plus, fans never really gave him a chance.

[@GoldieVoerman]

Jeff Nero them Nakamura matches was ok at first but then they turned bad... because Nakamura as a Babyface lost so stupidly in the same ways the same way Christian kept losing the same way to Orton back when he had the world title

[@cuhinpete219]

6’4 and I cant DUNK I’m sure the crowd will stay with him

[@cuhinpete219]

Jeff Nero I think they only put the title on Jinder bc of Crown Jewel

[@smashwrestlermachinexzibtt6707]

i hope kofi Kingston will win the wwe champion at wrestlemania 35 this Sunday

[@issacharbryant6606]

Well now I am from the future and he is now WWE champion !!!!

[@shansalesman10]

Us the wrestling fans know best. It's sad how the biggest accolade some of the best wrestlers that go underappreciated get is the fans saying they deserved better. They deserved a bigger push, more title shots, a better chance at developing.

[@ryanpurplenintendoeater9869]

Shandon Sims it’s how Daniel Bryan became champion it’s how Becky lynch became the man

[@kenjones5712]

Kofi doesnt win we riot!

Kofi Kingston - Putting a new meaning to a flat chest

[@NinjaFingers19]

It’s some sort otf disease or disorder

[@McCantJustin]

Flat is justice. #KofiMania

[@byronbrooksstonecold1946]

Flat out point wwe wrestling have been racist for decades an lots of those fans an Vince Mcmahon towards blacks. Kofi has good wrestling Performance also been there for years, some of these other wrestlers haven't been there long also not as good but gotten The spotlight. If kofi doesn't win its speaks volumes, an if he wins it will be set up his teamates the new day will turn on him.

[@byronbrooksstonecold1946]

Back into Games, that's a part of it, also truly some of white fans that attends it an watch on tv is already racist from get go. With Some of the board of excutive, A slight issue is kofi already knows that he continues to pander it by doing that booty ohhs act Trying hard to get they vote an attention to them. Notice when Booker T. mention of racisim his response back was quiet

[@redshoe7278]

You're watching a show done by Booker T (world champion in WWE) where his guest is Kofi Kingston (multiple time tag team and US champion and is receiving one of the hottest Wrestlemania Storylines since Daniel Bryan at 30.

[@TheDayveion]

@@redshoe7278 You're such a gentleman and an Alpha Male.

[@Hollywood_Howard]

I hope Kofi wins too, but we also have to look from a business standpoint. I think a lot of joint ventures and other businesses wouldn’t do business with WWE if the face of their brand is a black guy. America isn’t the only ones with prejudice; Saudi Arabia wouldn’t even let the women wrestle. Think about a black man being the face of WWE. It will become the B title while they push the Universal championship holder as the face of WWE.

[@vikkorheel9966]

Wow good point

[@sirtavion20]

Sadly they kind of do it like that now. The Wwe title is like the World Heavyweight title. Roman will have the Universal one again. I think there's room for Kofi in this role. The reign might not last long but he should get a chance

[@cenaandmiz]

This is true but Bryan won't go to Saudi Arabia either so Kofi might still win.

[@TheSupinesmokey]

The WWE title carries the lineage everybody that the company wanted to push to rep the company got the title like fully rep the company .so it still will mean a lot . The Universal title hasnt fully established its prestige .you cant manufacture a legacy and prestige overnight . I mean Kofi could be on the cover of 2K20 as a result

[@christianrapper]

Saudia Arabia? They probably would prefer a black champion to a white one. Please. That’s a stupid excuse for racism. Black people are treated better in other countries than America anyway.

[@215_God]

They're probably going to do him just like they did Booker when he went against Triple H at WrestleMania 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ryanpurplenintendoeater9869]

Eldric Valentine he def should of been the first if not him then r truth but Vince didn’t make them like he made kofi

[@AquariusLeviathanProphecy]

Vince don't care about Blk Wrestlers ?????
