When Kofi won, my reaction was "oh, they must want to put the title on Fandango." I like Kofi, but he's always the transition to something else. They never give him anything substantial. Kofi even looked like he was going through the motions when he was celebrating. I don't blame him. They can leave him face, but I just wish they would let him talk or give him a real feud. Guy is just a place holder for the title non stop, and I don't even think it's his fault at this point. He's been typecast as generic midcard babyface #highflyer.
The shame is how Cesaro has fizzled out. He got a pretty good shove but what an unceremonious way to end a title reign. I'll be interested to see where he goes from here. His lack of crowd reaction isn't a secret so I hope he can over come it. If not, his best chance might be Kassius Ohno being called up.

It shows they really like Kofi, for the best part of his WWE career he's held some kind of championship, I hope he'll win MITB this year and finally get that boost to World Title contender, even if he's just a transitional champion it'll give creative a taste of what to expect if they did decide to move him up the ladder into the main event scene.

I believe Kofi is not only talented but also has some personality, and yet, I find him to be one of the most boring Superstars on the roster; the way he's been used, literally for years now, is awful.
He's perfectly capable of having a great match, but most of his matches play out in this exact sequence: Back and forth action, high-flying move, hit all signature moves in succession, begin 'Boom!' clap, miss Trouble In Paradise, get beat on for a while, randomly hit Trouble In Paradise and win from out of nowhere. 90% of Kofi matches are like that.
And in terms of character development, there is basically none. For best part of five years he's won a mid-card Title, defended it rarely, lost it when he finally defended it, served as a jobber, randomly won another mid-card Title, never defended it, finally defended it and lost again, rinse and repeat (with a couple of Tag Team Title reigns thrown in there). The feud with Orton is more or less the only exception to the rule.
He's good, but he's booked so badly that he comes across like total crap.

This has been noted many times before and is one of the real problems I have with him. He goes nowhere, he does nothing, he just acts as a trophy cabinet rotating through holding title is completely forgettable reigns. If it aint the IC, its the US, if it isnt the US its the tags. Just pointless and am really over it all.Its the same schtick. They need to actually give him development or just forget about him because its boring to see him constantly hold titles and do absolutely nothing with it. There was a hint they would when he beat miz and went with the whoel wildcat thing but it lasted a week or two at best.
All kofi does is annual Rumble comebacks and hold titles in pointless, forgettable reigns. Thats it.

It doesn't matter what Kofi wins. He seldom gets feuds after that and his reigns are pretty meaningless seriously.
The booking is pretty atrocious.

Kofi is another victim of WWE's cyclical booking. He's featured in something for awhile, then an afterthought. He might well win the MITB and the WHC next year, or he could be left off several major cards in a row. The same kind of thing has happened to Miz, Ziggler, Sheamus, Swagger, R-Truth, and even CM Punk until the pipe bomb.
