Is Kofi Kingston a HOF?

Thinking lots of people are forgetting the World title is nothing more then a secondary title for the most part.... Very big difference the World and WWE titles have.... So to answer again I think Kofi can be the World champion but not WWE champion.....
Kofi is one guy who will risk his body for reward or not.... then multi time US, IC and World tag champion and Slammy winner!!!

Even if you take his actual skills out of the equation, I'm still not convinced. The company might have a history of flirting with pushing him towards the top, but it's never been close and/or sustained enough to even entertain him winning a world title as a real possibility. And with the recent influx of new talent, I just see him getting further lost in the shuffle.

Exactly, I mean he's been as close to winning a World title as say, Santino has I'd say. Or R-Truth. Actually, not even as close as Truth, since he actually had a one on one title match.
And like you say, if you put Kofi up against the wealth of talent that's coming in right now, he's really fighting against the odds even more than before.

I think kofi could be a future hof and don't think he should hold a world title in the future. I think people forget that you don't need to be a former world heavyweight champion or former wwe champion to be considered for the hall of fame. plenty of people in the hall of fame have never held a world title in the wwe.

He still isn't even going to be considered until well after retirement, which is still a long time away.

I agree. I mean in 20 years it wouldn't shock me if he gets in. he has done a lot in the wwe. I was more making a point it's weird that everyone is so caught up in the fact that he needs a world title to be in the wwe hall of fame... when to me that just doesn't make sense. ricky steamboat never won a major title in the wwe.

Kofi is and IMO will always remain a top midcard with probably (and I hope for him) a WWE title reign. HOF ? I don't think but who knows...
