Do you think Kofi will get a 1 on 1 World Title shot next year?
He's the most over non-main eventer babyface in the company.

Honestly, I doubt it. That all ended on the command of Orton's "STUPID".

"Well, he's the most over babyface." "Not even close." "Well, he's the most over babyface who isn't a main eventer." "Okay, maybe you're on to something there." Seriously though, I'd rather see him compete for the World Title for a while than have another feud with Ziggler or Swagger for the IC title.

He's had 245 matches against Ziggler, the mid card champion, and can't beat him.
Why do I as a regular viewer believe he could ever beat the world champion?

I think he'll win the SD! MITB. WWE needs freshen up MITB and by having a face MITB winner who wins it as a face would be good in my opinion.

I don't get the appeal of Kofi. He always seems like a hyperactive kid to me.
Don't get me wrong, he's capable of having great matches and pulling off some nice moves but it annoys me how he has to add a leap to seemingly every move he does, even if its a bog standard chop or punch.
Just seems kinda, overboard really.

He and Ziggler traded victories, just that Ziggler wins the title matches, Kofi wins non-title matches. One could see Kofi as not winning matches that matter( ).

Smackdown needs all the main eventers it can. Have him, Swagger, and Jackson be main eventers in 2011.

Do you think Kofi will get a 1 on 1 World Title shot next year? He's the most over non-main eventer babyface in the company. Will he get a Shot? Honestly, unless they decide ADR isn't ready for a title, there are at LEAST 4 other guys that they could put titles on before bringing up Kofi in the next 12 months. Here's a VERY rough idea I have for SD!'s WHC booking for the next year or so. - Rey and Taker are getting title runs (It's gonna happen.....deal with it, 2 months apiece so that's 4 months) - Edge and Kane may trade runs for a few months (There's 4 more months of booking) - ADR might get a Test Run (1-2 months) - Christian SHOULD get a run before Kofi, preferably ending Edge/Kane Tradeoffs (Another 2-3 months) So.....assuming they follow the predictability, no major injuries/hires/fires/etc the year's title picture is pretty full with "Established" SmackDown Main Eventers before the thought of elevating ANYONE comes into the picture.

I marked my face off that time in 2009 when he trashed Randy's nascar and when he boom dropped him of the rail in MSG. But I think what I was marking for most was just someone new seemingly getting a main event push, which has happened a lot since then.
I'm a big fan of Kingston as a wrestler but ever since he's been on smackdown I've never felt much reason to cheer for him booking-wise or maybe it's the lack of promos, I don't know. He shouldn't be in the world title picture yet, he is great though!

All you got to do is give a reason why people should get behind a Kofi title reign. Personally, I love Kingston and see him as a future world champ. But his character needs to be fleshed out more.

He really needs that one feud to push him into the Main Event, something to elevate him. At the moment, the only thing I can see working out is a program with Swagger that goes up to WrestleMania with Kofi getting a firm victory there. Then have him either go onto Kane or if the situation calls for it, just push him for the title there and then.

Leave it to the Dread Pirate Mulligan to say almost exactly what I was gonna say. I'm beginning to suspect you're my split personality.

He also needs to stop having his legs cut out from underneath him whenever it looks like he's about to enter the Main Event scene in favor of whoever happens to be WWE's current project.

I'd say either he or Morrison needs to win Money in the Bank this year, but they're also the most likely candidates. The two are at that point where if they don't do it soon they're likely going to be perpetual midcarders - and in Kofi's case, that'd be particularly bad since he's only been wrestling for five years as it is.

I love Kofi's matches. If he gets 15 minutes, you know it will be good and you'll see some really fun spots and counters that make his matches feel unique. To me he's a great blend of being spotty but also understanding how to build a match based on it. Really underrated seller too, he makes moves look devastating and sells well throughout the match. I say he gets a shot soon, WWE needs top babyfaces, hell they need decent faces period Kofi's one of the few WWE has right now.

Kingston reminds me of the Road Dogg. He's over with the fans in terms of live reaction, but I just don't take him serious as a main eventer. Granted, he's a much better wrestler than Road Dogg, but for some reason the vibe is the same for me. Not saying he won't get a shot, but if it were up to me he wouldn't.
