Kofimania Running Mild

By Scott Keith on September 18, 2019

Scott,

Let’s get down to brass tacks here – they need to get the belt off of Kofi immediately. I know you think Lesnar is squashing him on the FOX debut,
but that might even be too late; they need to get the title off of Kofi before the FOX debut.

Right now, they are running ads with Austin, Rock, and Ric Flair promoting the show – a sad, carny bait & switch tactic which is immediately going
to upset viewers and destroy any good will they might have had when those viewers tune in and see none of those guys; but the only thing that could make it worse is for new/lapsed fans to see the World Champion wearing a unicorn horn on his head and throwing
pancakes into the crowd. You only have one shot to make a first impression on these folks. If I’m a new fan, or someone who hasn’t watched in 10+ years, and the first thing I see on Smackdown is some dude in Sailor Moon cosplay walking around with the World
Title, I’m finding something else to watch and never bothering to give them a chance again.

What do you think? Do you believe the World Champion throwing baked goods into the crowd is a good look for the company?


You’re preaching to the choir here. Although I think the Fiend would be a better choice than Brock if they want to end the Kofi deal AND make a new main event star in one shot.
