I'm a huge Kofi fan, but people need to let this heel turn idea go. They already had the perfect opportunity to do it when he was feuding with The Miz, but they didn't do it. So unless they're gonna rehash that whole storyline again, it's probably not happening.
That said, I could see that working if they did it right. My idea would be that there's an "All champions" tag team match with Cena and Kofi vs. Ziggler and Barrett. Kofi's about to win for his team but Cena hot-tags himself in to hit the AA, and Kofi gets mad and attacks him after the match.
The next week on RAW, Kofi explains that he attacked Cena because that was supposed to be his moment to prove he belonged in the main event, but Cena stole it and took the glory for himself. Then, in typical Cena fashion, he completely buries Kofi on the mic--talking about how no one cares about him, how he just has little short transitional title reigns and goes back to jobbing again, how biggest thing he's done in his five years in WWE is stop pretending he was Jamaican--just completely shyt on him, in a way only Cena can. Kofi flips out and attacks Cena again, but Cena gets some offense of his own in. Then as Cena goes for the AA, Kofi breaks out of it and hits him with the Trouble in Paradise. Then you've got your heel turn.
But anyway, what I'm concerned about is not a Kofi heel turn. It's a Ziggler face turn. I don't know why they haven't done THAT yet. His whole moveset is already very babyface-like, and the entire storyline they have planned with him as champion (book him to look weak so more people will challenge him for the title) works much better as the face who overcomes the odds than as the heel who's supposed to look dominant.

Kofi's underrated on the mic. He's not great by any means, but he's servicable. It's just his non-threatening black guy voice that does him in.
Kofi is perfectly over as a mid card face. He stays fairly healthy has an entertaining moveset, goes ALL OUT in ladder/rumble/chamber matches, and fans get into him. He is having a great career.
I have no idea why you guys want to turn him or expect him to get a main event run..not everyone can be hogan..some people gotta be JYD or hillbilly jim

I'm not hung up on Kofi turning heel, but I would like to see him do something new. Just because I think he is talented and hasn't really been given a platform to show us anything. The one time they flirted with the idea of making him a bigger deal, the crowd was behind it and he had some quality moments with Orton.
Ed, I think you listed all the reasons people want him to have more success in the company. Whether or not he can actually do it remains to be seen, but I don't think he's ever been given a real shot that definitely rules it out.

Kofi Kingston SUCKS on he mic. He runs to 'bro' when he gets lost and can't think fast enough on his feet.

Chances make champions
Kids like him but his own hometown booed his ass like he was a nobody when Kane and Bryan were going strong and got the titles from him and Truth. He just has a glass ceiling.

I don't understand. Did Kofi shyt on The Rock or something?
That means main event aspirations are a wasted effort and thought. Kofi controlling offense as a heel? Cut off face heat spots? shyt would be terrible.
He's just not good. Never was . You nor anyone here can remember stand out match or promo date. He got buried by Blandy after NY so that damn sure doesnt count.
