I'm the loneliest Kofi fan in the forum. I actually like the dude. Don't trip, I'm with you. I usually don't say anything because it just gets drowned out in all the sarcasm. I don't really think it's a matter of people not liking Kofi. I like Kofi a lot. I think it's more a matter of how he's booked. People know the WWE won't do anything with him. They will give him a 2 week push, then he will get randomly squashed by Ryback in a backstage bullying segment. I don't think it's people being anti Kofi. It's people knowing what the result of this return will be. Typical yo-yo booking.

I know. First it was all of 3MB, then Johnny Curtis/Fandango, then Ryder, and now Kofi. Is Vince McMahon going through some new anti-leg phase? Or is everyone else just feeling down in the dumps 'cause they can't compete with Orton's amazing thighs?

The tights are actually a good sign that things are changing up, even if only slightly. He's had the same look for so long, it's nice to get an evolution of sorts. He's a great hand in the ring for midcard matches, so as long as they can get out of the usual tedious title-loss-title-loss cycle, he'll be great to have back.

I really like the new tights but...... was a new theme too much to ask for? Hell just give him the Air Boom theme and act like everything is normal. Kofi is a solid worker, he just needs a good feud that is heavy in character development.

I really like Kofi, I just wish they'd do something meaningful with him.

I'd like to see him cut out the cartoonish bullshit & align himself with Punk. They don't have to be a tag team in the traditional sense, but they can watch each other's backs. I do feel like this scenario works better with them being heels, but I suppose it could work as faces. I would like to see them be a heel turn, especially already seeing the face version of the tag team when they won the tag titles Yep. Punk already has the serious character, but I'd like to see Kofi give it a whirl as well.

You know, you'd think he'd have gone with pants when teaming with two guys who also wore pants, but now that he's finally alone he decides to wear pants

Judging by that picture, guessing Bourne's due back soon because those and the boots look a hell of a lot like something he'd wear.

The most pointless, boring guy on the entire roster. I audibly groaned when I heard his music. Just go away forever, Kofi.

I'm the loneliest Kofi fan in the forum. I actually like the dude. It's weird, he could be great but years of doing nothing and not changing puts him in full-time Reyrey place. He needs new moves or some changes on his key spots, new music, an actual reason to exist on the roster. Who knows, maybe the new tights are the start of that? It isn't his fault at all, but his character needs to do something to make his existence matter. Keep him in the midcard, give him personal feuds, make his King of the Midcard tag a positive with more creative writing. I mean, that can be applied to tons of guys whose characters (Christian being the biggest offender) are eye roll worthy to me; there's no reason for their existence in kayfabe terms, they're just warm bodies with no real definitive character traits.

KOFI!
Oh Kofi, you're like that TV show that keeps getting re-scheduled, put on hiatus, cancelled, then brought back.
People generally love you, but the network doesn't see it!

As a talent, I like Kofi. However, I don't like him as the token midcard face winning the titles over and over again.
Kofi's the only midcard face (midcard as in a real midcarder, not a former World Champion or a demoted main eventer), who gets to be booked with any semblance of credibility and treated as a featured regular.
He's over, I kind of like the guy, but I feel that others deserve the opportunities that Kofi has been given. Giving Kofi the midcard belts is like the midcard version of keeping Cena in the main event or bringing back old veterans: it's the "safe choice" and others aren't allowed to prove themselves as a result

It's Kofi, he's back - in pants form.
(Ryback puts him out for two months and his big return is a random match against Del Rio? No attack on the guy that injured him? WWE flunks Booking 101.)
