2129691, When they breifly just made him a regular dude, he was NICE

The one thing most people go back to when it comes to seeing Kofi's potential is his feud with Randy Orton and destroying the race car. Kofi spoke like a regular man, except he spoke like the kind of man you just don't fuck with unless you want your ass beat. The wife beater worked too. People were buzzing on him.

He can't be this cheesing ass Dee Jay from Street Fighter character any longer. His ring work is cool, but that "super high jumping punch followed by running around the ring like Tatanka before another super high jumping punch" routine overshadows the rest of his matches almost every time out. his recent match with Dolph was a show stealer and a match that again had people buzzing.

The worst thing about him is, we've all seen those glimpses, but then it's back to business as usual with him. His music is dope and his finisher can easily be sold as WWE's deadliest-and was after he Real World (Zing!)gave Miz the WWE "Holy Shit!' concussion of the year with it.

Basically, I count him with Morrison as a guy with big time in ring tools and shit for personality (though Jo Mo showed serious heel potential (read: potential) in that classic Rick Rude (WWE incarnation, not WCW, where he was far more ruthless) HBK (Think his Gay Biker outfit era) mold, where he's the cocky, pretty boy type that will kick your ass and fuck your wife in your bed afterward). Basically he's great as an over-exxagerated 80's teen villain.

Jeff Hardy is the most notable exception to the personality rule, because his persona (persona and personality aren't really the same thing) and performance was so over the top good and made him so marketable that he became a credible top guy.
