3. Kofi Kingston

People love to complain that John Cena has been face for too long. No one ever seems to touch on one of the most severely needed heel turns in the entire world of wrestling.

Kofi Kingston.

Kingston has been a face since day one, and even when he’s been given limited chances to grow his character, it’s led to nothing. From the Jamaican accent that contradicted his Ghanian heritage to the memorable feud with Randy Orton, Kingston is just too face for his own good.

Believe it or not, Kingston can pull off being a heel. Most importantly, he’s a perfect candidate to lead a controversial and riveting faction that would push boundaries in WWE.

Kingston can lead a stable that focuses on WWE’s lack of successful black superstars.

I won’t throw around accusations of racial discrimination, but Kingston, Mark Henry, R-Truth and Shelton Benjamin are a short list of extremely talented wrestlers who have received minimal opportunities. Even Booker T, a decorated champion, has experienced his run-ins with half-assed pushes.

As the video above displays, Kofi Nahaje Kingston could be a game-changing heel for WWE. He knows how to play the anti-USA (and in this case, anti-WWE) role, and would seriously help the company.

It’s all about being given the chance to build his profile.
