SvR 2009 Countdown 5: Kofi Kingston

[Sunny]

Hailing from the tropical climate of the Caribbean Sea, Jamaican Superstar Kofi Kingston brings unique in-ring abilities, style and lingo to Raw.

For weeks, WWE fans were offered a glimpse into Kingston's island paradise where the vibrant Superstar took troublesome matters into his own capable hands. Mixing it up with his lightning quick arsenal while maintaining his bright, amiable smile, Kofi undoubtedly made ECW his own private Island of the Extreme.

Kofi has engaged in a series matches against Shelton Benjamin as of late. Although he had done incredibly well in them, Benjamin is responsible for giving Kingston's his first loss in WWE. Rather than slowing him down, this has only inspired Kofi to work harder and do ever better in the future.

The day after defeating ECW's Gold Standard in an Extreme Rules Match, Kofi Kingston was randomly drafted to Raw in the Supplemental Draft on June 25. The Jamaican Superstar will now be looking to make an impact on Monday nights.

NOTES: Pretty sweet that Kofi Kingston is officially announced in SvR 2009. The downside may be that his entrance attire jacket isn't included. WTF is up with that? I thought entrance attires were included this year.

Awesome. I'm happy that Kofi made it but like Sunny said, it'll be a little disappointing to not see Kingston's jacket and windpants. Also, Kofi's trunks never had the Jamaican flag on them but it's a nice addition.

[The Don]

No pyro? Fail.

[The Smackethdown]

the belt is amazing,and I never heard that much of Kofi's song before.

[ALL STAR]

trouble in paradise looks awesome. the lack of pyro can always be fixed in create-a-entrance but what the fuck is with his hoppy-walk down the ramp?

[Smacktalks]

The belt does look great, it's good to finnaly see belts that aren't massive and sticking out away from the wrestlers.
