WWE: 5 current wrestlers deserving of a “Biography” episode

4) Kofi Kingston

It’s a new day, yes it is!

Kingston’s story, even if just focused on the in-ring/wrestling character/WWE environment, would make for a compelling episode.

He came in as a fake Jamaican, complete with an accent, even though he’s Ghanaian (at least he was rocking Collie Buddz’s “S.O.S.” as an entrance theme).

He won secondary and tag titles and seemed to be on the main event trajectory after his Raw moment with Randy Orton in 2009. However, he toiled on the mid-card (at best), disappearing for a bit before reappearing as part of The New Day with Big E and Xavier Woods.

Their Southern preacher gimmick wasn’t well-received, and their “Power of Positivity” spittle turned them heels to fans, much like Kurt Angle and his “Three I’s.”

After years of being the best or second-best tag team in WWE, #KofiMania hit and Kingston was able to use his performances in a gauntlet match and Elimination Chamber match to propel him to facing then-WWE Champion Bryan at WrestleMania 36.

He won, becoming the first Black man to win the WWE Championship since The Rock (nearly 20 years!).

There could be a discussion on his reign from both Kingston and others as there are criticisms he was a transitional champion for Brock Lesnar, who unceremoniously defeated Kingston in less than 10 seconds.

It would also be informative to viewers to hear from E and Woods as to how they decided to form The New Day, their real-life friendship, and more. We all know the three members have gregarious personalities, and that should come through when viewing.

There could also be discussion and video of Kingston’s return to Ghana, returning as the first African-born WWE Champion.

If you want a documentary that is pretty much just going to make you feel good, then one on Kingston is highly likely to accomplish that goal.
