On the latest episode of his podcast, Jim Ross shared his thoughts on Kofi Kingston’s booking as WWE Champion. Specifically, Ross shared what he would change about how WWE is booking Kofi right now.
Below are some quotes from Ross (via 411Mania).
Ross on how Kofi’s booking needs to change:
“Somebody needs to tell Kofi that hopping to the [ring] — carefree, happy, smiling, I don’t know if that fits the champion, especially when you’re a marked man. The days of the six-man tags with New Day [are done] — it’s a different ballgame now. You’re the man. Everybody’s going to give you their best shot. At least they should, right? So, the happy, carefree demeanor may be fun for children, who can laugh at or with the antics, not so much I don’t think the older fans; 18-34, 18-49.”
His suggestion for his booking and whoever is producing Kofi:
“Just saying somebody that’s producing Kofi might want to suggest, you figure out how you’re perceived when you’re introduced. And sometimes, maybe that perception of Kofi is not indicative of who he is. I’m a big fan of his by the way.”
Do you agree with Ross? Let me know in the comment section below.
