[edit] Improvements (sources)

I'm fairly newbish at editing, but I figure this is a pretty good source for some of his wrestling accomplishments. Hoping to see this article go far. Hezekiah957 (talk) 05:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Blech. Noticed that it's already on there as an external link. Shows how good at this I am >.< Hezekiah957 (talk) 05:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is he?

Is this guy a heel or a face?209.209.140.21 (talk) 22:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

We don't know yet. Anyone this is not a forum. Davnel03 19:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I think that's a fair question, Davnel. Hardly a possible WP:FORUM problem. His kayfabe ID would be important to the article as it is his first WWE run. Looking at the promo I think he'll be a face. Dealing with your run of the mill beach bully is a good guy act. GetDumb (talk) 08:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
You see the way you are discussing this topic, you are asking people about the guy's personality in wrestling. This is not the place for that, THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION BOARD!TrUcO9311 (talk) 15:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
So the kayfabe ID isn't important to the article? *confused* GetDumb (talk) 07:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I'd say it's relevant question, if you're looking to include the answer in the article. If you're just asking because you don't know, then this would not be the place. And for the record, the promos suggest to me a babyface alignment, (coming to someone's aid and attacking the stereotypical beach bully.) -- RoninBK T C 09:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

In WWE developmentals, he's a face and his finisher is an enziguri. There are matches on YouTube up to see his moves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.197.180 (talk) 22:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finisher

As far as I know his finisher is the Steiner Screwdriver, under another name (I'm not sure what this name is). Could anyone confirm this before I add it? gravediggerfuneral —Preceding comment was added at 01:17, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought that was called the Downward Spiral? GetDumb (talk) 04:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

As for its naturailty, he's from Ghana, not Jamaica88.210.97.141 (talk) 18:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Nationality d'you mean? Do you have a reliable and verifiable source? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 18:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Try Out Match

This could possibly be his try out match with the WWE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by All about wrestling (talk • contribs) 03:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dark match

on march 26 he faced trevor murdoch if its not already noted i should know i was there —Preceding unsigned comment added by The real rj (talk • contribs) 01:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

A dark match isn't notable to his overall career though. is it? In fairness it's not notable by any stretch of the imagination. No week-by-week events go in the article either. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Isn't one of his signature moves the monkey flip?

He uses the monkey flip in almost all of his matches. Shouldnt that be listed in his signature moves? I'll edit it I just want to hear what everyone else thinks first.

It's a pretty generic move for the "middleweight" set. It's not really something someone sees and thinks "Kofi" or doesn't see in a Kofi match and consciously wonders why not.«»bd(talk stalk) 19:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
May I add that it's the same case for Jimmy Wang Yang yet it is still listed in his move set?Skilldog2 (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Whatever. Put every move anyone has done more than twice.«»bd(talk stalk) 15:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Calm down there. I was just sayingSkilldog2 (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Feud with Shelton

For the past few weeks Kofi and Shelton Benjamin have been in a feud. Kofi beat Shelton twice and it ignited a feud. Shouldn't that be listed in the article since that last new info was added after Wrestlemania 24?Skilldog2 (talk) 23:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, well it is his first major feud in WWE. But nothing has really escalated out of the feud, now if Shelton beats Kofi and ends his undefeated streak, then the feud could be added. Also if the feud escalates to a PPV, then it can also be added, but for now, not really a "big" feud to be added at the moment.--~SRX~ 00:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Good point. Thanks.Skilldog2 (talk) 00:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Raw? What the...

The article says he is wrestling on the Raw brand even though he's on ECW. Did someone vandalize it or did i miss something?Skilldog2 (talk) 00:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Blatant Vandalism, restored to old revision. --SRX 00:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
OK thanksSkilldog2 (talk) 21:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
