I just want Kofi to join the Real Americans.
And everyone's really confused about how it happened but enthusiastic.
I like the idea that in the Real Americans Zeb is the only Real American.

Well, he's apparently quite stoopid, stoopid, stoopid.

Not changing a single character trait in almost a decade is a surefire way to be stuck in that same mid-card rut forever. Then again...

Oklahoma's not in America? well you see. Oklahoma just snuck <makes walking motions with my fingers> across the border from Mexico into our great nation and illegally cheated their way into statehood. they're not part of Zebb Coulter's America and now any if REAL americans would like to take the pledge with us, please stand up, place your hand over your heart and in a loud clear voice say along with us. "WE! THE PEOPLE!"

You can't blame him at all. Why not? Is he being booked by a different group of writers than the ones who have booked Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry throughout their careers? If these guys can overcome hot and cold booking then why can't Kofi? Maybe he just doesn't have the SKILLZ to break out.

Ummm... There was that time when he was IC champion... Got creative with WWE paint Those and his Rumble spots are all he is remembered for. He needs to change it up.

That's why Bryan and Ziggler got over. What is Kofi supposedly not doing right that they can't give him a full angle?

As much as we bemoan the lack of care given to Bryan and Dolph poor old Kofi Kingston's had nothing to work with for years. The one time he got an angle he was over. VERY over. The feud with Orton should have made him into a main eventer and it's not his fault that it didn't. You talk about stop-start pushes, Kofi is the perfect example of one, but unlike Dolph Kofi only had 1 start.

I like Kofi, but I feel if he was ever going to be a Main Eventer or a potential future WWE/World Heavyweight Champion it would have happened by now. His main purpose these days seems to be his the "Eh just stick the IC/US Belt on Kofi till we find the next guy we want to push" I liked Kofi until it became clear that this was his role. I respect him as a talent, but just hate that it's ALWAYS Kofi. I marked for Big E winning the IC Title primarily because a non-Kofi midcard face was finally getting a chance with a midcard title

Bryan and Ziggler have also had long periods where they didn't get any real angles or where they didn't get PPV spots. Bryan has done plenty of questionable gimmicks and angles that would've sunk other wrestlers and became even more over. Hell, Ziggler was basically the heel Kofi Kingston for 4 years but he managed to cultivate a vocal fanbase in that time period.

They still got more shots than Kofi, so again, what is Kofi doing wrong that he's not getting more shots? You didn't answer that.

They got over to an extent that they had to push them. Kofi is just as moderately over as he was five years ago.
Also ring work is probably more important in WWE now that it's ever been before, and Kofi is well behind Bryan and Ziggler and many others in that aspect.

Maybe Vince thinks he's Shelton. He's had the exact same booking, sans Mama, the former had.

Kofi was getting pretty over, and showing some decent development character-wise during his feud with Orton. Then they pulled the rug out from under him. He hasn't been given even a hint of a decent push/storyline since then.
THAT is how you ruin someone.
