Congratulations!
As happy as I am to see DBry retain the weed belt, that was a drat good match from Kofi and he just in the course of a week managed to credibly explode out of the midcard into a legit main event spot. That's incredible. Good for him.

I'd love to see The New Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston at Wrestlemania. I don't think they knew what to do with Bryan at Wrestlemania and just managed to stumble into the answer.

I think I'll actually stick around for The World's Happiest Champion too. Mark Henry owns.

edit: how can you have watched the last five years of this poo poo company and think that there's a grand plan to make fans happy

It's got to be the Wrestlemania match. There's nothing else. AJ got eliminaed midway through the match and his program with Bryan has gone on long enough, Bryan killled Jeff and he was the second elimination, Cena's on hiatus again, but Kofi got the rub of being one of the few people allowed to kick out of the Busaiku Knee. This has gotta be the program.

I hope so, SO bad for this to happen, give Kofi the belt at Mania & let him have a decent run with it

I legit think he might get a gold watch title run out of this, and Wrestlemania already has a Lesnar match and Ronda/Becky/Charlotte to satisfy the quota of traditional big-name main events. Kofi/Bryan at Mania might actually happen.

I kinda think Ali would have been knocked out early to middle

But nonetheless, as long as we see gold around Kofi's waist, it will have all been worth it

He once made me believe Santino had a chance of winning the title. Daniel Bryan is a goddamn master of the wrestling craft.

It's like The Sun Dog, but when he gets out of the photo he's just gonna gyrate while never breaking eye contact with you.
