Y'all made Kofi do this... He's coming.

[CM_Burns]

That's a nice little set up angle, but 3 or 4 months down the line will this have been a good choice? NO. You really want Kofi in a suit, "it's YOUR fault, you fans turned on me", and using restholds?

Kofi is in a good spot for him right now. He's over enough to where he could face a top heel in a program on a couple PPVs and be very over as a face, if they have a big heel for him to face. Going back to TrueEpics thread in the last week, their problem is heels right now, if they had a few hot ones in WWE right now Kofi would be capable of having a good program with them.

He's fine being an over midcard babyface, not everyone needs to be a champ. Right now they're overloaded with top babyfaces too, with Punk coming back and bryan on his way. What Kofi really needs is what the product as a whole needs badly; an interesting storyline/feud in the midcard.

Watching the video....loved Mick Foley back then. Too bad Kofi can't give a promo like that.

Too bad few of the current generation can put themselves over like that.

I hope he stays face, gets a main event push and still wins a belt. None of that will happen though...... I support him though, what can I say I'm black and I love big match spots. It bothers me that they've let two mediocre guys like Swagger and Del Rio loom around the WHC for months but not let Kofi who is very athletic in the ring cook. Just give him Teddy Long as a manager and give us Dolph vs. Kofi for the WHC at summer slam.

If Kofi (or more importantly, creative) doesn't run with that, then that'll be one of the dumbest decisions they made all year. It's RIGHT THERE for them to build off of.

Kofi, the good guy who flies around and entertains everyone, slaps hands with the fans, does the autographs... and what did he get in return for all that? "One More Time"? They wanted to see him get destroyed and put on the shelf? That's the thanks he gets?

If nothing else, they have the ammo to set it up.

I wouldn't bet on that. They already had the ammo to set up a heel turn when he was feuding with Miz, especially since that feud ends with Miz turning face, they could've had a nice double turn going. But what happens after he wins the IC belt? "You really CAN be the nice guy who goes boom boom boom and still win! " A nice lesson for the kids, but it really fukked up the whole point of that storyline.

If they didn't do it then, they're not gonna do it now.

That wasn't really a set up... Miz's face turn was unrelated to that, and Kofi turning heel out of the blue because some other heel said something about him makes no sense. This would make more sense because he's spending time away for an injury, the fans pretty much cheered on his getting injured, and it's been acknowledged on TV... not saying it will happen but it'd work way better than some random-ass turn.

 

[Momentum]

Keep him face but make him selfish. Make him start to go for his when the chance opens up. Maybe even he could be the next briefcase winner. Not sure if he needs a manager, unless someone like Booker is available for that.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

i've never seen you guys WANT to set someone up to fail as hard as kofi turning heel.

May as well turn rey mysterio, evan bourne, and the usos heel too. hell, you guys don't like their current persona, surely they can succeed as evil bad guys cause thats cooler

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Usos started as heels in YO colleges....Law Firms!

 

[firemanBk]

I don't know

Kofi might be too STUPID, STUPID too turn heel

 

[CBSkyline]

No matter how it goes I will just because it would be such a shock to the system. WWE might as well pull the trigger

 

[KingDanz]

Kofi should have a Marvel Black Panther gimmick.

He should be way more aggressive.. no stupid double hand slaps to the chest...

 

[DANJ!]

It's not that I really want him to turn heel... I just wanna see this nikka do SOMETHING different. If it happens by turning heel, so be it. I'd just like to see him take this time off and NOT return doing the same exact ol' shyt he's been doing for almost 6 years.

Agreed. I'm not gonna front like a heel turn is gonna magically fix him, but he has shown that he has the potential to be better than what they've given him a number of times. Would be great to see a real push behind him with a newer move set too...

 

[jadillac]

He smart enough and good enough on the mic to be a good heel

It wouldn't have been like that. It would be more than just, "Oh, Miz said something mean, so Kofi turned heel." It would be the fact that everything he said was right, and he was tired of having a stagnating career being the "nice guy" because being nice gets you nowhere.

Actually, you could tie that into this pretty easily. Kofi tried to deny what Miz said about the fans not really caring about him, but now he knows they really don't because they cheered when he got hurt.
