Kofi Heel Turn

[merhardt03]

Hey guys, Came accross a main site news thread about a possible Kofi heel turn. Ive been a fan of his since his debut in WWECW in 2006 I believe. Over the 7 years Kofi has been a fan favorite, other than his 1st couple months on ECW. We've seen Kofi win countless secondary titles & tag titles & have seen him come so close to breaking out as a top star on at least 2 or 3 occasions. Especially his 09 feud against Orton. But since losing IC title to Barrett on New Years Eve Raw, Kofi has dropped to jobber status. One must ask themselves why? Simple, Kofi's face run has gotten too stale. There's nothing left for him to achieve as a face midcarder. A heel turn for Kofi would add new fresh elements to his character. Get buzz going about him online as well from IWC and elsewhere on Twitter and such.Right now WWE needs some new heels, since everyone seems to be turning face with no heel turns. Kofi's got it in him as evidence to his short heel run in ECW. It'll get him into fresh new feuds as well. I for one am hoping to see a heel turn for Kofi to rejuvinate him. What are your thoughts?

He is like Ryder, Popular with the Kids thus wont turn heel.

Though his work with orton was brilliant, and he is a good worker so desrves to hold a midcard title with the occasional loss to a main eventer.

It would be interesting to see how they run with a heel turn for him but for me he just doesn't hold my interest that much and I still can't ever see him with a title higher than the IC or US, he just doesn't scream 'Main Event' for me but it's horses for courses I suppose.

Maybe not even a main event push, but get him back as a solid mid card with something going for him, cuz lately he's been jobbing in squash matches. What happened? I like seeing Kofi in undercard feuds with anyone as long as it's not him jobbing in under 2 minutes. The guy is all around entertaining.

The turning point will be Kofi turn his back on R Truth,but theres rumor Orton is gonna turn heel too after wrestlemania so it would be too much bad guys in wwe.
For now I will say its about time Kofi become heel.

Or even by turning on Evan Bourne when and if he ever returns.

What's he gonna do though? Barrett and Cesaro are heel so he can't get another mid-card title push. He's not strong enough to be dominant... He'll probably get the: "I'm tired of constantly losing, I'm gonna do whatever I want" treatment, win some matches by having is feet on the ropes and grabbing some tights...
I haven't cared for Kofi since his little feud with Orton and I don't see that changing with a heel turn.

I've read about a few possible heel turns this year. One including Cena going heel at Mania, and beating Rock at ER to retain the title. Orton losing during the 3 on 3, pushing his heel turn, and Kofi turning heel, as they think he is in a position now where he is talented, but can't get over any more without a heel turn and push first.

Kofi turning heel could work, but either Barrett or Cesaro is going to have to drop the title first before he can get a sustained push.

Forever a midcarder!

With them apparently turning Big Show face again (you'd think the guy worked for TNA with his face/heel turns every other year) and Del Rio being face, I think Kofi would make an excellent heel. He could step right into main event level heel if the WWE does it properly. Not at a CM Punk level, but he could definitely position himself above Barrett and easily position himself above Cesaro.

A heel turn would be fantastic for Kofi. It would get him out of the rut he's been in for years. The guy is incredibly talented, so this could work really well.
