I don't start many threads, but thought I'd share this pretty awesome story. My 9-year-old niece, who has inherited my wrestling fan-dom, was given an assembly I would have killed for yesterday... WWE held an unannounced Be A Star rally at her school in London! Paige, Kofi and Big E Langston took part - my niece said they were all awesome and stuck around to get photos with kids in a classroom after the assembly. The whole thing was actually put on by the uk government who are doing some clampdown on bullying with wwe. A politician was on the Be A Star panel - pretty cool they would work with WWE. Anti bullying is a great message too. To top it all off every child got t-shirts and goodie bags with pencils and notepads - pretty awesome day Here's a link to the full story online www.gov.uk/government/news/department-for-education-and-wwe-urge-pupils-to-banish-bullyingSome of my neice's thoughts: - Kofi was the "most fun" of the three - he started by doing a "silly fake voice" he used to use to show they all play characters (I think the Jamaican accent) - when he asked the kids if they knew it was a fake accent, apparently they all said "yes - it's obviously fake!" - Big E was HUGE and seemed kind of shy / tired - he had amazing shoes... she said they were "made of gold" - not sure what that meant! - Paige was "dressed like an unhappy person but smiled a lot so she must be happy to be in England"

They popped into the school my sister works in. I was mad jealous because whilst I am a big fan, she doesn't have a clue. When I asked her which wrestlers had shown up she said "Some Jamaican guy called Coffin". Typical!

Coffin. There's your heel gimmick for Kofi. He somehow gets the Undertaker's powers (burning his suit?)

Ha, for anyone who is interested there's some press coverage about this visit to her school:
To be cynical - pretty good idea to get great PR like that while on a big money making tour
For my niece - thanks WWE for the best school day she has ever had (her words, not mine!)

Paige's facial expressions and mannerisms are very distracting when Big E and the other guy are speaking in the video.
