I thought he was going to take the lid of the table, throw it on the ground, and just walk across. I thought he was trying to make a surfboard out of it. In fact, he was even standing on the lid like a surfer. I don't know how that would have worked though.

Best case scenario would have been that he starts pogoing then the next entrant is counted down and jbls music hits, then kofi stops and turns around on the chair and gets closelined from Hell. You'd mark..

You'd mark.. That would of been a good moment. JBL quickly getting in and eliminated and coming right back to the table in his suit would of been just as good.

He would still be walking on the floor though.

It was ok, Kofi getting eliminated about 20 seconds after doing it kinda killed the impact.

I really thought JBL was going to be next in and take his chair back.

I definitely think it was a backup plan, and he was going to jump from the Announce table to the ring. Considering what eventually happened to the table, it's probably a good thing he thought twice about it.
That said...man, Kofi seems to be done in WWE.

I, along with the live crowd, really believed he was going to attempt that insane jump back to the ring. After teasing that and instead pogoing on an office chair, I think there was no way that wasn't a let down. Pretty cheesey and the shark has definitely been jumped on "creative" ways to avoid elimination.

I was pretty sure he'd walk around to the corner of the ring barricade and then make the (slightly) easier jump to the steel sides (as Jomo has done before).
But still fun spot, I like this tradition of quirky Rumble spots as I know one year it'll go wrong and that will just be glorious.

I thought it was brilliant. Jumping on Tensai's back was hilarious, the build up with him questioning whether he could jump (and the crowd willing him on) was great, and the back up plan was funny and damn impressive (try standing on an office chair and see how difficult that alone is).
I couldn't care less about about Jumping the Shark. If they're entertaining I'll gladly take these "avoid the elimination" spots. And it was very entertaining.

I really want to know if Kofi could've made that jump.

Why even use the damn chair
You're telling me Kofi isn't athletic enough to just hop on one foot back to the ring? It would take like 3 second? The ring is like 5 feet away?
This was just idiotic and far too contrived

i thought it was kind of lame, since he could've just pushed off the table and then slide over. the chair had wheels Me and my brother said the same thing... if he tried to roll it, it would probably tip on the padding

I don't think he would have gotten any traction on the padding. Yeah, that chair would have never rolled on the mat. Not without Kofi pushing off the floor constantly which would have defeated the purpose. He could have constantly pushed off the floor with one foot, since both feet need to touch the floor for it to count as an elimination.
