Of course I'm not satisfied with his career, he got one shot at the big time and never had another opportunity. I'll never forget that night he hit the Boom Drop on Orton in MSG through the table, the pop he got was unreal. And then a couple of months later he was back to square one, and never given another opportunity. The way he's been treated throughout his run is disgraceful.

The guy made one mistake and has had glass ceiling on his career for five years, while other guys have done much stupider things repeatedly and been given chance after chance to breakthrough. I don't care what anybody says that's not right.

Swagger being a perfect example. I can't stand that clown. He should have been released a long time ago. He's worthless.

why do you say that?

I don't know why, but he seems like he's content with where he is on the card. That's fine with him because he's essentially pro-longing his career. But his character and his moveset has grown stale over the years. Besides the 1,000 battle royals we've seen this year, can anyone even name a classic Kofi match? Does he even want a classic match? When dudes talk about guys being content where they are, I always think of Kofi because he has all the talent in the world to be further than where he is.

The WWE will only give those opportunities to the people who they want. You can be determined and driven but it means nothing if the WWE never wanted you to get to the next level.

They've put him in that "The guy who does cool spots in the battle royals but never wins" position. Similar to when Shelton Benjamin was in that "The guy who does cool spots in the Money in the Bank match but never wins" position.

Every time a MITB rolled around I kept rooting for Shelton, he never won one and he was the highlight of pretty much every one he was in. You already knew he would do something cool in the match but they never let him win one.

You guys are so used to seeing subpar champions even a clear midcarder like kofi should get a title run in your eyes :mjlol:

The funny thing is Jay Lethal is 100x better than Kofi but hasnt gotten one shot with wwe.

Clear midcarder? Kofi's booking has been non-existent for the past 2 years. When he was red hot during the Orton feud, he could have gotten to that next level. And if people like Miz and Swagger can hold World Titles, Kofi is more than qualified.

You can be held down and still put forward an effort of stealing the show. Just look at Ziggler :manny:

He's a bad example because he talked shyt about the company and his booking publicly which is a big no-no. Look at Carlito. He dug a hole for himself.

I was disappointed when Truth didn't win the Title. I was at the PPV too.
