Title: Kofi Kingston high flyer?
Post by: joseywaleshhh on December 15, 2010, 07:15:01 PM: I hear him called a "high flyer" all the time. He can definitely jump high in the air, but what does he ever do? All I've ever seen is cross bodies and drop kicks. Pretty tame stuff. Boring in ring, boring persona, not worth watching in my opinion.
Oh yeah, only clowns need to dance as part of their finisher.

LOL!!

I remember when a fan held up a sign that read, "HHH: Mid-carder-4-Life."

Sadly for Kofi, this may be his prophecy.

I remember Kofi cutting a promo in perfect English and HHH saying something like..."Hey where did your accent go"?

I mentioned that elsewhere. Supposedly, his folks were upset with the whole Jamaican gimmick. And, supposedly WWE wanted a more aggressive Kingston to pit against Orton. The "No Problem, Mon" easy-going Kingston didn't fit the bill.

I
I remember HHH saying that. I've seen Kofi live only twice. Ringside. Both times the crowd was really into him. He does jump pretty high off the top rope. But I don't think he's the definition of a high flyer.
He's got some nice highflying moves...one of the best cross body leaps off the top rop I have ever seen but IMO he's just not "star" material. He's a mid -low card wrestler.
