I can't stand Kofi Kingston. He just irritates me to the nth degree. I don't enjoy his matches or his character.

Nearly four hours later, and I think you are. The guy deserves all the success he's had so far.

Kofi's really turned it up since coming to Raw.
They always talked about how unique of a style he had on ECW, even though outside of the leg drop, he didn't do anything original at all.
Now that he's on Raw, he's been throwin' out all kinds of crazy flippy s***.
The only thing I hate about Kofi is two words: "Controlled frenzy!" And that's not Kofi's fault at all. That's just Michael Cole being his usual (horrible) self.

Who'd have thought "Jamaican Me Crazy" would look normal by comparison?

Kofi is one of my favorites, right behind Edge, Batista, Cena, and Morrison.

Does that mean we're gonna find The People's Elbow neck deep in sand, while Kofi smiles?

That's just Michael Cole being his usual (horrible) self. Seconded. I think in a company full of white Americans with short hair and generic movesets, Kofi really stands out in a good way. He's got that mash-up style and is honestly unique just by being Jamaican. The accent and the persona really set him apart.

When he first debuted all grinning and slapping fans hands I thought I'd hate him but I actually like him. He does some interesting moves.

the ONLY thing that irks me is I can't decide if that's his real accent or a 'put on' accent that plays to every Jamaican stereotype known to human kind.

I tend to enjoy Kofi's work, there are plenty of times where you do not know what to expect from him. I especially enjoyed when he pulled out the front flip russian leg sweep he did a few weeks back to Morrison, I thought that was fantastic.
I don't see him going beyond the IC Title level, but I think he's definitely going to be a popular worker for years to come.

Who are you to doubt that Kofi Kingston is really Jamaican, fat boy?!? (See what I did there?)

I've seen him do good heel promos as well, so he can always go that way in the future.

I like Kofi. He has got over just because he wrestles such an exciting and refreshing style, similar to what happened with Evan Bourne.

He really stands out in the endless legion of crewcuts and back tattoos.

I don't like him. He's too much of a blue-chipper for me, like early Rock. I just struggle to care about him.
