[The Rainmaker]

Sorry, Kofi, it's over.

 

[VegetasHairline]

Kofimania > Okada

 

[mannyrs13]

Kofi has the mic skills for obvious reasons. But Okada has him in everything else. Kofi a great talent but in this round of 16, he might not even be a top half talent.

 

[Roid Jones]

Kofi you my dawg but........

 

[TOAD99]

As much as I like Kofi, Okada is an all time talent

dude is the Ace of the company

 

[Starboy52]

Just... make it quick.

 

[puppetmaster]

Kofi made a moment I never thought WWE had the balls to actually do. A moment I can point future generations towards.

And imma let my bias have its say here.

Thread is gonna do what it does.

And I ain’t mad at it since Okada is an unapologetically bad muthafukka


but that’s my vote.


Deal with it.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Kofi went as far as he needs to go here. Hell maybe if he was in another company he’d have my vote.

Okada

 

[Breh the HitMang]

Kofi good, but Okada the GOAT

 

[Starboy52]

Went through Orton and Goldberg and putting up a good enough fight to not get totally squashed by Okada.

Kofimania still running wild, brehs.

 

[Jmare007]

What a matchup

 

[krackdagawd]

I like Kofi but yeah

 

[Doctor Doom]

I like Kofi but yeah

We knew how this would end up

 

[Cartier Murphy]

New...

Day Rocks ...
