For a guy that supposedly can't cut a promo to save his life, he did good on the pre/post shows talking naturally about the matches. Fit in great with Stanford, JR and Dusty.
I think this is more of an indictment on the system than it is on Kofi himself. Let him be himself, and he does fine... Put boundaries on him like a script, and that's when the wheels fall off.
Still wish he had a match though. Cesaro v Kofi would have been a good filler match.

He surprised me as much as Brian Stann did when he did analysis for the UFC.

Honestly, the "can't cut a promo" accusation is crap anyway. He flubs the very first time he gets a live mic and he gets that reputation for not immediately hitting a home run.

If WWE is going to do post shows going forward, they should stick with the Stanford/JR/Kofi/Dusty team because they work really well together.

talking is easy.
Acting is hard.

He should be a commentator. I've never been much of a fan. Not that he's bad in the ring but on the entertaining side of things I find him boring.

He's probably not the only one, which is precisely why this whole "we can't trust our talent to be themselves so let's just feed them scripts ad nauseum" thing the WWE's doing is so harmful. Imagine how many people on the roster'd be able to get themselves over if they were just allowed to go out there and be themselves. |

It's not the scripts thing that hurts the product so much as there are only a hand ful of people allowed to be over. I wish WWE were invested in a good chunk of wrestlers enough to actually bother to write scripts for them |
