It's somehow amazing and impressive in the most depressing way possible that the WWE has managed to make a yearly tradition out of Kofi doing something awesome to save himself at the Rumble, but they have managed to create absolutely zero tension or drama around the idea that he might actually finally WIN the damn thing. I don't know that I could ever buy Kofi winning it. Big E? You bet. Kofi? I don't think so. This is exactly what I'm saying. The company is so invested in placing its wrestlers into tiers, and then convincing the fans that these tiers exist and are immutable, that they miss out on obvious ways to increase drama, like selling how Kingston has always needed one big opportunity to get to the top, and the Rumble is where he could put it all together. And Langston shouldn't win the Rumble. Langston should go full in on supporting Kingston that he sacrifices himself in the Rumble..... only to turn on him once Kingston actually wins the championship. |

 Sorry for the spam. Watching this from the arena was unreal. One second he was standing on the turnbuckle, the next, he was hanging from it. It was so quick that I didn't even notice him flying through the air in between. It felt like a magic trick. |

That's why if I have to vote for a spot, it would be this one because it was the most physical impressive. As surprising as the handstand was, this was definitely the easiest one to botch and yet he somehow managed to pull it off. |

I voted the hand walk because it's so damn iconic, however the stair and rail spots are insane.
Kofi is much like Cesaro in that their physical tools allow them to pull off freakish moments almost at will.
