His character is basically the athletic african american face. He's not a cornball but it comes off that way because he's articulate and educated. Its a shame that those characteristics make a brotha corny, but out of all the black dudes affiliated with the E, I give them props for not making Kofi extra ghetto. Now him being Shelton Benjamin 2.0 that's a whole different story.

He's corny regardless of his race, actually.

Remember when he talked about "finding a fire inside," "never seen me like this before," and "letting the beast out" after winning the IC title...

...yet he was still the same goofy smiling ass doofus? That is precisely why he's a cornball.

It's just his personality.

Didn't CM Punk call him naive? :dead:

In that story about them getting pulled over by the cops, and they were hassling them and Kofi didn't know what the fukk he was doing and Punk had to tell him to play i cool and shut the fukk up and not volunteer anything?

I think the main problem is his voice. Its just not intimidating or very charismatic.

He needs to turn heel (:smugbiden: ) and go back to talking shyt about America's buildings in that fake ass Island accent :lolbron:

Kofi thought they were doing their jobs. I mean, they were driving too slow, right?

I never heard about this...

CM Punk Talks About He And Kofi Kingston Being Harassed By Police - WrestlingInc.com

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRATWTLnkRE"]CM Punk - Philadelphia Comic Con Q&A - YouTube[/ame]

CM Punk said:
He is black. He has dreadlocks. I am covered in tattoos, and I look like I know how to make some pretty good meth.
:heh:

Maybe CM Punk isn't secretly racist...just a lil too comfortable :ehh:

Kofi does actually come across as pretty naive. Not that it's a terribly bad thing, but I was listening to him talk to Colt Cabana on "The Art Of Wrestling" and just strikes me as such a do-good type that he can't help himself. Like, he doesn't have much of an edge...he's just happy to be in the business and can't help but be a nice guy...so much that it shines through, even when he's trying to display "attitude". :laugh:

Seems like the type of guy that the boys in the back would play ribs on because he's gullible or because his angry reactions are hilarious. Good dude, though.

Yeah. :ld: At times, I think this is actually one of Ziggler's biggest problems too. Doesn't sound very authoritative.


Yeah...Punk always come across as an alright cat. Just generally grouchy & a bit introverted at times, but his heart's in the right place. No :wrist:, of course.
