I know you're all talking about Kofi and I fully agree that he and Bryan should face each other at Mania and Kofi win. But... I was watching the Becky segment and I couldn't tell how the crowd was responding. They weren't very loud and seem to be blowing her can someone tell me how the crowd was for the beatdown? The crowd did what to her?

Dude I know I'm a bit of a cynic but come on. I guess I'll be the differing opinion in the thread. So heres's my stupid opinion: Kofi Kingston is a great mid-card guy. But he's been in a "comedy" group that throws out pancakes and now people are wanting to rage because the WWE didn't put the title on him tonight. You can elevate the dude without putting the title on him. If you want to make him a world champion, get him the f*** out of New Day ASAP. Mick Foley won the WWF Championship with a sock on his hand with a shitty little face painted on it.

So, what we want more? The Man, Seth slaying the Beast or for Kofi to bring the thunder and be the WWE Champion?

Mark Henry is always crying Well I'm not going to make fun of him. He might find out where I live and I don't want my spine ripped out.

I'm so anxious right now. There's practically no such thing as a feel-good ending these days lol. I get that because I feel like everyone relies on the happy ending at the "big event." Because apparently everything has to be "It's okay! WRESTLEMANIA!" as if the insane old man running the company can't show up on the day, go "That belt's stupid but I saw a kid buy one instead of that pancake frisbee", and have Kofi lose there, too. No. There isn't a New Day Pancake Frisbee. He doesn't know that either because he's an insane old man.

We don't deserve Daniel Bryan
I feel that once again he is able to legitimately claim he is the best wrestler in the world

The Road to WrestleMania took a good detour in the Elimination Chamber. Both Chamber Matches were great, the rest was OK. I have to crunch the numbers, so I will be back tomorrow with Facts & Stats for tonight's show.

So, what we want more? The Man, Seth slaying the Beast or for Kofi to bring the thunder and be the WWE Champion? A guy we already saw at the top, taking on a man people are bored of as champion, or a new face as champion? Look; there aren't that many people on this board that HATE the New Day's shtick as me. Find a few archived threads, and you'll find a few threads finding me grumbling about how much I hate the New Day. How much I hate their antics. How I hate them having the tag team record. I DARED to be sour! But, at the end of the day, WWE needs new people on top. I have not recalled a crowd being organically invested in a guy that the company willingly looked at (not forcibly going to it, kicking and screaming, like Zack Ryder, Rusev, or Breezango), and if WWE actually goes with it, it's win/win. I remember how over Kofi was in late 2009. I thought they were going to go with him, but Orton decided to scream "Stupid! Stupid!", and it took him another decade to get back to this position. He may not get this shot again. This may finally allow the New Day to transition out of pancakes and Booty-Os and weird stuff and embrace seriousness, because Big E actually cut a killer promo last year when removed from those handicaps. So, take it from a resident grump when I say; don't suggest they shouldn't go for Kofi because he's a "comedy" midcarder.

And again, I'm not here trying to say that Kofi just flat-out sucks. Foley had a handful of short tag title reigns in WCW, ECW and WWF, a couple PPV wins over Undertaker and the ability to destroy himself as his main kayfabe accomplishments when he won the WWF Title. Kofi's had multiple IC and US Title reigns in addition to being part of the most successful tag team in WWE history. Again, based on their on-screen accomplishments, there's not a world between them.

Crowd's chanting something, I'm not sure what tho. I believe it was a resounding chant of "suck my dick gumshoe" Miles Edgeworth was at the show tonight, apparently.
